@CarmineGallo Talks About His Book “The Power of Foursquare”

Carmine Gallo author of “The Power of Foursquare” at The Roger Smith Hotel
We had the Power of Foursquare party the other night, which was a great success. We had a hotdog special and a beer special for those who checked in. It was great to be able to connect and talk with Carmine Gallo who wrote “The Power of Foursquare” and engage with him during his stay in the city. He is building an understanding of how people can best capitalize on the new communication tools that are changing our professional landscape. We were mentioned in the book for our relentless pursuit to be engaged and be active in the conversation. @RShotel is mentioned in the book on page 91. Thanks so much @carminegallo @adwal; http://bit.ly/qMyx35 Props!
“The Hotel that Social Media Built!”
The event was put together with the collaboration of the Social Media Club of New York, McGraw-Hill and especially Julia Baxter who was on top of everything from the start. Good to work with such good people.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand ‘Check-Ins’
Posted on 20. Feb, 2010 by BrianSimpson in Community, Hotel, Lily's Restaurant
Last Thursday afternoon I received a call from my friend Julia Roy. Julia had been approached by Susan Dominus, of The New York Times, to participate in an article Susan was doing on the social network FourSquare. Julia asked if it would be O.K. to do the interview at Roger Smith Hotel. Her reasoning was to hopefully include other FourSquare users in the article. (on most nights there is someone here “Checking-In” on FourSquare) This gesture alone shows why people like Julia excel in social media. FourSquare is a way of sharing your dining, shopping, traveling, museum hoping, train riding and sight seeing experiences with other people.
FourSquare is about the strength of community. To quote Kenneth Hartley Blanchard “None of us is as smart as all of us.” Julia could have done the interview on her own and it would have been great. She would have shared it, the twitterverse would have re-tweeted it and the world would continue to spin about one thousand miles per hour. Instead, Julia recognizes the greater strength and potential energy of community. Everyone has an audience: Damien consults on building your companies brand. Clay has studied under Seth Godin and now assists a variety of businesses with their overall strategies. Jill has a loyal community on YouTube as a videographer that surpasses most of its users. I (Brian Simpson) work at Roger Smith, a hotel that has become a go-to business for all types of social media personalities.
Collectively the story became what platforms like FourSquare stand for… connecting friends and strangers with commonalities to create conversation.

It was a great night and we at The Roger Smith Hotel wanted to thank Julia for including us. I/we would also like to thank Jill, Clay and Damien for sharing their unique and individual insights as to why FourSquare is important to them.

Bsimi’s Weekly BS part I
Posted on 23. Nov, 2009 by BrianSimpson in Community
The beginning of anything is the hardest – think about it…
The beginning of the day – blah to alarms!
The beginning of a relationship – do I go in for the kiss or wait, ugh… the stress.
The beginning of twitter – How does this thing work? Who is listening to me… I hate this !
Party Bacon !
Well this my friends is the beginning of “Bsimi’s Weekly BS” and for the first time evah the beginning will be easy.
I am going to cover topics from why Chris Brogan is obsessed with our Bacon to what all the cool kids were wearing at
the Wired Store Grand Opening Party.
This weeks post will be easy because I will cheat and focus on Roger Smith Hotel. There was so much going on here, I was lucky to be a part of it and it is all
worth sharing. Since I was not prepared to start this today I am going to list off as many of the awesome people and events that I can recall – in future posts I will be more diligent throughout the week when collecting material, pictures and insight.
Please enjoy the re-cap !
Gravity Summit and the awesomeness that made it happen:
Rodney Rumford – Beverly Macy – Y&R Brands – Mashable – Social Media Club – Operation Smile and an amazing party back at the hotel that thanks to Larry Chiang & Cathy Brooks turned into 3 – parties in – 1 !
The best part of the Gravity Summit party going until 1am was that Social Media Breakfast was the next morning – it was a true test of social media’s hardcore bacon lovers! SMB featured Rachel Rhappe, David Armano and Mike Lewis.
The Chinwag group joined us for breakfast and lunch – it was a pleasure having some of the UK’s most talented digital influencers in-house !
Thanks to a tweet by Julia Roy of Coach, we were alerted to the fact that we were #1 on the Social Great website – better known as Foursquare – (Stay tuned for upcoming, IRL old-school Four Square Tourney in our Lab Gallery)
Thanks to Janine Just for organizing the Skype Event here in our Starlight room with help from Oz Sultan & Brett Petersel
Highlight of the week was the impromptu tweet-up that came from @LvM wanting to get together with a few friends… next thing I know Lily’s is filled with:
@ajleon, @melissaleon, @iamkhayyam, @juliaroy, @emilyspearl, @beebow, @cheeky_geeky, @chrisbrogan, @cc_chapman, @GuruofSales, @Courtenaybird,@garysguide, @foodphilosophy… et al It was one of the greatest groups we have seen here and appreciate you all!
Stay Chaotic !
