AHA MEDIA at Nokia Tweetup for Social Media Week Vancouver 2011
Nokia sponsored a wonderful time for us at Cinema Restaurant in Vancouver for Social Media Week Vancouver 2011
Tom Hall and Kathy Garfield welcomed us warmly to our fun filled evening! Connecting with old friends like Daniel of Nokia Love blog and Shane Gibson made our time extra special!
Highlight of the evening was when our dear friend Miraj Khaled was the lucky winner of a fabulous Nokia N8 for being the eighth person to arrive at our tweetup!
Nokia truly connects people! We had a very memorable evening socializing with our friends 🙂
Thanks Nokia for sponsoring such a wonderful event during Social Media Week 2011 in Vancouver!

The social network is replacing the broadcast network as the place where the world gets its news. From the Ukraine to the Mid East and everywhere in between, people are turning on to new ways of tuning in, and joining this emerging media democracy. With Glowing Hearts is a film about Social Media in action; its power to represent, inspire and break down the digital divide.
In February 2010, the Winter Olympics stormed through Vancouver, along with 5,000 international media assigned to cover the Games. At these Games, record numbers of residents, activists and fans used their blogs, video-streaming cellphones and the Internet to connect, engage and tell the story like never before. Centered on an unlikely initiative coming out of the city’s most impoverished and maligned neighborhood to create the Games’ first dedicated Social Media center, the film offers viewers an exclusive glimpse into a potent melding of technology, activism and passion
