Well, I think once again we are here. Warm temperatures, humidity, torrential rain. The swimming pools are open (except in torrential rain), school is ending. Yes, summer is upon us.
I was hoping that this summer, we could do things a little different. Columbia is pretty established to be neighborly. Columbia is also becoming one of the hubs for social media engagement. So if you are reading this and you have a Twitter, Facebook, or Foursquare account (and if you don’t, why not, we are becoming a hub for social media engagement), I would like to start a grassroots hashtag campaign.
If you are hanging out with your neighbors, coworkers, playdate group, or happy hour pack, send out a tweet. Post on Facebook. Do whatever people on Foursquare do. I only ask you use the hashtag #summerofneighbors when you do.
I put down some examples to get the ball rolling, now its up to us to socialize and be social:
By the end of summer, maybe we could have a #summerofneighbors meet-up and remember all the neighborly happenings via a huge Storify post.
