Hey Drew ... we're trying to kick-off an Atlanta group here on Folio as sort of a local resource center for Atlanta-based publishing professionals. Honestly, I'm not real sure what the end goal is, but if we're all here ... why not, right =) ? If you have any interest, feel free to join the group and tell us a little about yourself.
On another note ... I may be completely off-base here ... it's been awhile since I followed our local publishing scene, but wasn't Catalyst a part of Leader Publishing?
Now that you are here, please feel free to style your profile, upload photos and images and videos from your publication, its events and your company or let your opinion be heard by posting a a blog. If you've already got a blog, you can easily embed it in your profile via an RSS feed.
You can also browse, join and start groups to get connected to industry vets who share a similar interest or are from your area. Each group has its own forum, allowing users to engage in lively discussions on hot topics and ideas.
And be sure to use the 'Invite' tab to invite EVERY magazine, eMedia and pubilishing professional you know to join you on MediaPRO. You can easily upload your e-mail contacts in minutes. Or simply send out an e-mail to every industry pro you know, add a bulletin on Facebook or Myspace ... whatever it takes to help MediaPRO become the largest community for the magazine, eMedia and publishing industry.
Commercial Use Limitations: Use of any content features (blogs, forums, messaging, etc) for direct self-promotion, spamming, etc. will result in account termination. Profiles are for individuals only at this time, not companies. Profile headshots should not include company logos. Publishing/Media companies (non vendors) may create groups for their employees. Vendors see this post for more information.
