Latinos In Social Media

If you missed it, you missed a unique event. Thursday night, my partners and I kicked off the first Latinos In Social Media Twitter Party. We gave away about $500 in prizes. It was a nice way to introduce ourselves and promote out event – The Latinos In Social Media Heritage Tour.

Most of us used TweetChat (using the hashtag #latism) to follow the discussions. If you want to read the dialogue, go to hashtags.org.

Let me tell you, Latinos do not know how to act – and I mean this in a good way.  It was apparent to the organizers that most people were more interested in networking and chatting than the actual prizes. This is very different behavior than in regular Twitter Parties.

Some of the discussions went like this: Sorry if I can’t reply to everyone. This is getting like a typical Loud Latino Party. They’ll call the cops on us! LOL #latism @anarc and, RT @auntchrisbronx @ChicMom I want me some chicharron!!! #latism // cuchifrito time! Others were true networking attempts
@lisagarciaruiz It’s only 7:30 here in CA I’m just getting started! Anyone else from Southern Cal here??? and, @jbrewz @Jaydieli unofficial #latism party DJ here…by request from jaydieli http://song.ly/txxk — Any ruby on rails programmers in the house?

Love my Latinos!  The party went way past the allotted 1 hour, people would not let go.  I myself could not hang past some night owls.  It was great; everyone agreed that it was fun and empowering.  Hope I see everyone there again and even more Tweeples!
