  • Bob explains why the Meetup will have a $5 charge starting next week. Need to pay for the hosting, podcast gear, gear repairs and more.

  • What is a realistic expectation for ROI on a corporate social media campaign? Jeff says what is the ROI on print ads? A warm fuzzy feeling for being in the newspaper.
  • Bosco says there are companies just want to be out there and arent as concerned about immediate ROI.
  • Craig Griffiths says that with Internet Analytics being incredibly measurable companies expect to see the analytics and want results.
  • Jeff says if you’re selling a product you’re selling it to people which mean you are in the social business and if you cant converse with your customer offline you wont succeed online either.
  • Bosco says the currency for ROI is exposure, partnership, and affiliations not branding and immediate conversions necessarily. What is it doing for your business? not what is it doing for your paycheck?
  • Bosco recently spoke at a Social Media event and was the only speaker tweeting.
  • Bob says ROI from Social is communication and developing trust.
  • Bob says at an event dont sit in the corner and tweet interact with people and meet them in person. James and Sumari disagree.  A great discussion ensues. Sumari connected better with people on Twitter first as an ice breaker before engaging them in person.

  • Bosco talks about the Mexican Wave Andrew asks to see the Mexican Wave and it turns out that it is the same as the Canadian Wave.

  • Major digression so time to have a drink of Black Beer.
  • McDonald’s mounts iPads on the tables so you can eat your Big Mac with an iPad in your face. Wont get Andrew into McDonald’s maybe if they had Android Tabs or Windows 8 Tabs
  • Bob talks about Lockitron you can open your doors with your smartphone. Margaret says who is that lazy.
  • Marcel makes a homophobic comment about Kickstarter being gay and it gets into it with a few people about being gay and homophobic at the same time?? Or something like that?
  • Bob and Marcel talk about Crazy TV Talk
  • Time for GAMING with JAMES
  • Bad Piggies and other Angry Birds
  • Super Giant games is killing it (also from Finland like Rovio)
  • Mobile Gaming is like Atari back in the day when a bunch of low-quality games started being thrown into the market
  • IOS search changes make it harder to find games
  • Bosco asks how EA is doing? FIFA is #1 selling sports game in the world.
  • Gaming and Social Sharing
  • Bosco believes that the future of Games is in game advertising.
  • Freemium gaming takes the largest chunk of the gaming revenue tart.
  • Bob makes a crazy comment about spamming his followers
  • Bonnie is playing Angry Birds while on the Gaming with James segment.
  • Borderlands 2 just came out check it out if you like violent games.
  • Andrew asks Craig Griffiths if he still believes that Podcasting is Dead. He posted a question on a Linked In group about whether podcasting is dead. And it is a never ending thread as more and more people comment.
  • Craig is asking is the enthusiast being turned aside by the big media companies and celebrity podcasters.
  • Marcel says a guy that was on Big Brother does a podcast where he interviews Big Brother and Survivor contestants and is making a living from his show. He says podcasting is not dead and it actually doesnt know what it is yet.
  • Bob says passion is the key for podcasting and great marketing. If you do that you will kick butt. All TARTS all the Time… 
  • How to build a TART? Topless Tarts Videos?
