This morning, I received an email from Postling listing people that mention me or responded to something I’ve written on social media sites. Instead of responding to different people individually, I thought I would respond to several of them here.
First, there are the Follow Friday messages and replies. Shoutouts to @EricTTung @HarpethRising @MatthewBrowning @DME1661 @Jordanfenster, and @NewHavenRentry
Then, there was my Hashable invite. I’ve signed up, added friends to my inner circle, but so far, it hasn’t clicked for me.
@EricTTung asked me and some others about some good social media based conferences. @TedRubin responded highlighting ‘#SXSW, Mashable Connect 2011, DigidaySocial, #BWE’. There is a good discussion on Quora about this.
Hopefully, Social Web Week Connecticut will be a good local event this year. Planning is starting to get underway
On Saturday morning, I was at the American Group Psychotherapy Association conference where I participated in a panel with @dr_bob. We tweeted parts of it, and it was great to meet @GroupTherapyCal
@gracesonia, who I met through the National Association of Community Health Centers (@nachc) which deals with Federally Qualified Health Centers, #fqhc asked what #agpa was. Grace, it is the American Group Psychotherapy Association, which is a great group. I was surprised not to see overlap between AGPA and NACHC. That’s something to explore.
After the panel I was on ended, I headed up to the Cloisters with @dr_bob where I checked in on Foursquare. @RicDragon commented that it was a nice place to be on a Saturday, and I agree. I hope to post some pictures soon.
Two final Twitter replies. @2ndot comment about what a great time the #beerup at Eli Cannon’s in Middletown was. It was great. I was glad to see many friends there. During the #beerup, I mentioned to various people some of my cider brewing activities. I get many of my supplies at Maltose Express in Monroe. They just had some special event and @dinothinks ousted me as mayor of Maltose. I don’t expect to challenge him for the mayorship until next fall when cider brewing season rolls around.
So, that catches me up on my replies to various friends on social media and helps provide a glimpse into different aspects of my life.

Okay, its a kind of scrambled Follow Friday. Starting off the list is Harpeth Rising, a really great band that I’ve been following for a while. They recently followed me, so it is a good time to mention them again.
Next is @dme1661. I know David from other circles, and while he is new to Twitter and hasn’t tweeted anything yet, I expect his tweets will be interesting.
@newhavenreentry also also just followed me. This is a city initiative ‘to help formerly incarcerated residents reintegrate into New Haven’. Worth the follow.
@emacartney recently came on to my radar she works for the Palo Alto Medical Foundation and has been writing a lot of interesting health care tweets.
I was surprised to get a message that @yougottacall recently followed me. I’ve been friends with Tim from @yougottacall for quite a while, and I thought had been following each other for quite a while. Anyway, it is time for another shout out to Tim.
@jordanfenster writes for the New Haven Register. We’ve recently had some good discussions about social media and kids. It will be interesting to see what else he has to say.
@sparkenergyCT recently followed me. If something that sounds a bit like a company follows me, like @sparkenergyCT or @YouGottaCall, I’m unlikely to follow them unless I have some sort of relationship with the company or people in it. At first, I did not recognize @sparkenergyCT, but then I got a message from @EricTTung that he works there and hoped that I would #FF the company, so, here you are Eric.
Next up are @dr_bob and @drcdrury. I am supposed to lead a panel early tomorrow morning with @dr_bob at the #agpa conference. @drcdrury was supposed to be on the panel as well, but unfortunately can’t make it. See AGPA 223 for more details.
I had hoped to make it to the whole conference, but that fell through so I’m just going Saturday morning. This means that I will be in Middletown this afternoon, so I hope to stop by for #beerup with @joecascio @cherylbudge and other CT Twitter friends.
That’s it for today’s #FF.

Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Fri, 02/25/2011 - 22:20Another really long day... It is no longer Friday on most of the planet, but it is still Friday here, so I’ll get a last minute Follow Friday post up.
Today’s list is of people that I’ve recently followed. Starting off the list is @pattiricia. She is a mommy blogger whom I have recently started reading and getting to know.
Next is @g4c, Games for Change. In previous years, I’ve covered Games for Change’s annual conference as a blogger. I haven’t made it recently. Some of my recent blogging, tweeting, etc., talking about using gaming to promote health may be what has gotten their attention. I was pleased they’ve started following me, and I encourage people to closely follow them.
The next five are community health centers or organizations that work with them. (@BRMedicalCenter @Sud_EastCHC @healthieststate @CHPartnership @CentretownCHC) They all followed me during the #chcchat on Thursday. Staying with the gaming for health idea, I really like the idea behind @healthieststate. It is the Washington Health Foundation, with a goal of making Washington the healthiest state in the nation.
The University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute also has a project to make their state the healthiest. However, Gov. Walker is working hard to help the State of Washington out in this contest, as noted in Wisconsin Union Battle Masks Medicaid Tensions.
One final follower to note this Friday is @argency, a mobile augmented reality (AR) enthusiast. Add a little AR into the gaming mix for real fun.
So, that’s this week’s Follow Friday.
