Do you ever wonder how social media contributes to the development of a new technology company? Leveraging existing networks like Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and LinkedIn creates a gateway for socially-minded startups by offering them a built-in identity, profile elements, and invites; platforms on which they can grow virally.
If these things interest you and you’re searching for a way to spend your evening this Valentine’s Day, look no further than “How Sweet It Is to Be Liked By You," a panel discussion at AOL Ventures featuring some of the best new startups from around the country. Founders and representatives from Sonar, Bartab, Shelby.tv and Zaarly will be on hand for a lively (and loving, it is Valentine's Day) discussion of how social media contributes to the evolution of brand, product development, and community. By “standing on the shoulders of giants,” the benefits of the existing social web, mobile and e-commerce tech startups, among others, can create a reach of awareness in a short amount of time and that leads to lot of “Likes”!
If you’re unable to attend this fantastic meeting of minds in NoHo, fear not because there is another outlet! Bartab will be live-tweeting the event! Be sure to follow @bartab_NYC and the event hashtag, #SMWvday, for tasty tidbits that will be sure to abound the forum!
