Who’s doing the best social media work? SoMe Awards announces finalists

When it comes to social media, many things are fleeting. Twitter and Facebook stream by. And moments that, at first, seem entirely unforgettable vanish in an instant. Never to be seen again. Like tears in the rain…

Wait a second. WTF?

Now where was I? Oh yes.

What I meant to say is that there are a bunch of people working really hard to make social media work for companies and brands and stuff. And those folks deserve recognition for their creativity and their efforts. That’s why we have the SoMe Awards.

Honoring the best social media projects, programs and campaigns in the in the US. The SoMe Awards are being held in Portland, Oregon on Thursday April 21st at The Fez ballroom.

After two wildly successful events in 2009 and 2010 the 3rd annual SoMe Awards are ramping up!

The SoME Awards moves to the Fez ballroom, with libations for every ticket-holder, red-carpet interviews with winners and more.
