Friday afternoon I decided to check out CoLab, downtown Orlando’s co-working space since 2008. With memberships starting at $49/month, the space offers working stations for individuals and suites for larger groups. They also host various events each month, including screenwriters meetups, Refresh Orlando and “learning lunches” every other Friday.  There’s also the OmLab right upstairs, a studio for yoga/massage/acupuncture.

Last Friday the free learning lunch was sponsored by Doterati, and featured a presentation with Director of Interactive Strategy Murray Izenwasser from Biztegra, Inc. Murray discussed doing “social media right”, particularly focusing on the masses of Facebook fans (e.g. 104k active fans of the color Purple), Tweeting can work for any industry and taking advantage of the SEO opportunities via YouTube videos.

If you’re in the Orlando area, check out CoLab as well as Doterati to get in the event loop & connect with like-minded members (e.g. TweetUp this Tuesday, BarCamp April 3)
