The 3rd Mashable meetup in Athens (1st was in Social Media day in June and the second in July) took place in Colab Athens the first co-working space in Greece. Almost 30 people attended the event, many of them were not Social media experts but interested in Social media and monitoring. We had a lot of socializing and free coffee for all!
Except the socializing effect of the event we had for first time in our mashable events 2 presentation of social media monitor tools.
The first one was the Presentation of Alterian SM2 from Panayotis Kazanis from Baas.gr (@baas_gr authorized Greek retailer for alterian).
It was an online presentation with many questions from people that attended. Panayotis Kazanis was too helpfull to answer all questions so everybody enjoyed the presentation. The great thing with alterian is that working perfectly with Greek language.
The second one was the BusyFounder.com presentation that this was a really amazing presentation for a greek startup. BusyFounder.com is personal branding tool, a vital app for every Entrepreneur.
BusyFounder, helps you track your social growth and provides hints about possible connections, hypes etc. in order to give you insights about your online persona. BusyFounder.com is personal branding tool, a vital app for every Entrepreneur.
The application is still only under invitation mode but John Vlachoyannis (@jonromero) gave a really insightfull presentation about problems that solve BusyFounder.
I really enjoyed the event and I want to thank one more time everyone that came. Also I want to thank Colab for hospitality that make it possible to have an event like this!

Right now I read that Ismail Kadare cancelled his speech in Athens because of the racist slogans that were heard in parade of 25th March. Sadly there is racism in Greece as in all countries of the world. Racism has a social-economic reason to exist in our societies. In a world of fear and terror racism and nazism is logical to be. But We ,Greek, are not all racists.We don’t agree at all. If someone says I cannot go to talk in Greece because there they hate Albanians, is racist like the one that says one Albanian stole me, all Albanians are thieves.
And even if Ismail Kadare did it to show something with his move, to show whom? To racists? I think they will say we don’t need him. Who lost from this movement? Everyone that would love to listen Ismail Kadare and sure hates also every Greek that agreed with racists slogans.
Also mr Kadare maybe didn’t read that greek public opinion was shocked from the video and many of Greek were disgusted by video.
I hope that he would change his mind and he will come…

Before some weeks I had imported blogs that I am following at google reader to my Blogger dashboard just to be easy for people watching at my profile blogs that I am following.
But finally now Google imported back at my reader blogs that I am following from blogger… So I have many doubled posts. And it was really annoying. I tried to find and hopefully I found answer at google groups. So at preferences you can uncheck the box and fix the really annoying automatic import. Read the rest of this entry »
