I recently attended a social networking seminar hosted by New Media Manitoba and led by Lloyd Hannesson, a local Winnipeg gaming blogger and podcast host.

The first event wa a sellout, so a second date was added which also sold out. Lloyd had a lot of great tips for both social media newcomers and experts alike, and he did a great job of keeping everyone entertained and engaged throughout the morning.

They are looking at running the event again this summer, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to incorporate social networking services like Twitter or Facebook into their business, or just wondering what they are all about!

A transcript of the live blog I did while at the event is available below...

WestJet has weird condition in twitter contestThose that know me, or have heard me talk about my traveling adventures over the past decade know that I favour Air Canada for most of my flying, and although I have not flown WestJet except for one trip about 9 years ago if memory serves me correct, I don't really have anything against the airline specifically. Air Canada just has better schedule options for where I travel, and I have come to enjoy the benefits I get as being an Elite level Aeroplan member.

In fact I want WestJet and other airlines to thrive in order to create more competition, so that in the long run, Canadian travelers have cost-effective and convenient, safe travel options.
