hey Claudia, thanks for posting the impressive photo of the models… it is very strange to me how some people focus on the “agenda” posed with having the models at #sgtweetup – do people really always have to know what is going to happen at a social gathering… can not an element of surprise and spontaneous opportunities be recognised for what they are – opportunities. From my perspective (and i did have to leave early) the models did move thru the crowd and speak to quite alot of very interested twitters and there were an immense amount of happy smiles in the crowd. Sometimes some of these social media events can be difficult if you don’t know many people there, a mixer (like models) is a great opportunity to bring different people together…

As i was the one responsible for the models being at the event to start with I decided to keep their appearance a secret, the main reason being – with 10 models and having them only launch SUPERMODELME.tv that day I was not 100% sure i could actually get the models to the event as some other urgent need could have arisen, broadcasting their appearance and then a no show would have very bad karma. However most importnatly as it was a sgTweetup I assumed that it would be of more interest to have people turn up that were really interested in the main event not the maybe entertainment.

Moving on to Models not understanding twittering – that is because they only just stepped foot into their role as contestants for SUPERMODELME.tv – they are in the process of learning all they need to learn to be a part of this huge social media exercise, I think they could be forgiven for this lack – if you check out the models now u will find they are all getting into twitter and facebook…

Last I heard social media is about BREAKING the Rules – but in my defense I did not realise there were any rules for #sgtweetup to start with.

Hi Claudia – looks like I was right not to Twitter stalk you at #sgtweetup last Thursday after all. Tho I’m amazed at an event with free beer and models that Derrick doesn’t have a big, broad smile on his face… :-) Perspective on different events is useful – too many.

Didn't have many photos to use lah. That was the clearest I got! As for the logo, well, each circle represents our seven core missions which is to discover and profile, and then to connect and communicate amongst brands and publishers. Creating a safe environment that allows barrier free discussions and the analysis of data and information. The writeup on it can be found here.
