Before social media networking, Jews have been perfecting the art of shmoozing for thousands of years. From the story at the Seder table to the trials of a salesman, the adventures of a Jew are automatically worth listening to (and you can learn a thing or two while your at it).
Jews are behind some of the best fashions, writings, music, and inventions ever created. What is even more gshmack is that today's talented Yiddin are reaching way beyond what Moshe saw as he stood on Mt. Sinai with the Ten Commandments. Far beyond what Bubbe at the Bungalo Colony could ever do to marry off her grand-daughter to a nice Jewish boy.
Jews today are using their Jewish heritage, their genetic make-up, in their creativity and navigating the open seas of Facebook, twitter, youtube, and myspace, Fashionistas, awarding winning writers, producers, musicians, chefs, and entrepreneurs. Shalom Aleichem, Aleichem Shalom. We're shepping nachas and you don't need an APP. For that, but you can join the first ever Jewish Social Media Shmooz (and nosh) on Sunday, August, 8, 2010, right in NYC.
Jewish Shmooz Media is an event for Jewish authors, designers, musicians, film and television producers, and entrepreneurs--all creative individuals that weave their Jewish heritage into their books, CDs, television, and film. And thanks to the burgeoning, and converging, worlds of social networking and mobile applications, new avenues are launching daily. Today, creators can interact with their fans, followers, and inspired individuals via social media platforms (facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, and blogs) to engage and build long-lasting relationships.
