I posted this blog initially on the comment board of the Group IP on Everything. That was the first group I created on Smaller Indiana.

Wow.. We're up to 24 members! WooHoo! I am sorry that I didn't specifically invite this group to the Indy tweetup. Every time I meet-up with people I've grown to know over a virtual platform--like Smaller Indiana or twitter--I have a wonderful time and learn so much.
All attendees had a few minutes to explain what part of the world they were going to change:
Woody Collins is changing the world through his charitable organization
Congo Helping Hands.
Dr. Thomas Ho is changing the world through teaching IUPUI students critical thinking skills, and how to use emerging technologies in order to thrive in the 21st century. (This is how I want to change the world, too.)
Charles Hodge wants to change the world though his talent in video production. He used to video tape operations, but now it's more automated. I didn't know that about Charles until meeting him face to face.
Greg Cooper wants to change the world by breaking down the stereotypes surrounding his industry, and he wants to podcast, and I think he has the talent to be successful. There is a real possibility that Charles and Greg could work together--isn't that great when that happens?
Ken Zweigel wants to change the world by helping businesses to drive their growth through SEO and PPC.
Erik Deckers wants to change the world through his words and talent. He tweeted a hey to
Nancy Mryland who tweeted back how sorry she was that she wasn't there. Erik had the best tweet of the meeting. "I didn't know what epiphany meant until it hit me last week."
It's always good to see Woody, and I finally got to meet Dr. Thomas Ho face to face. I was pleased to discover Greg Cooper is the former Disc Jockey I used to listen to awhile back, and that he has a great sense of humor.
Lou Begnel and
Marla Ruth arrived late because they had attended the
TECHPOINT's New Economy New Rules meeting at Barnes & Thornburg downtown.
Lou was kind enough to share his presentation booklet with me. The speaker was
Michael J. Hicks, Ph D. from the
Bureau of Business Research at Ball State University. Dr. Hicks uses the phrase emerging technologies, but I am not clear whether this is equivalent to social media, or is social media a sub-set of what he defines as emerging technologies.
During the tweet up I mentioned our small but mighty group-- IP on Everything-- because twitter provides a platform where global grassroots communication is occurring round the clock. There would be no twitter without Internet Protocol.
