“Never mix business with pleasure.” So goes the old adage. (Also, orange juice and toothpaste make a really nasty combination.) But what about business and micro-blogging? Are they two great tastes that taste great together? Randy Stewart, social media strategist and Senior Product Manager of Boxbe, will attempt to find out at tonight’s Seattle Social Media Club gathering.

Randy will give a short introduction to Twitter and microblogging followed by an interactive forum designed to help you get the most out of your micro-blogging feed. Full details are on Upcoming, and registration through Eventbrite is free. And if anyone is live-twittering the event, let us know, would ya?

Our friends at CopyNight Seattle gave us a heads up on two upcoming local appearances by Christine Harold, author of the new book, OurSpace: Resisting the Corporate Control of Culture. The book examines the phenomenon of culture jamming, which is the practice of using mass media to comment on the evils of mass media. Fighting the power. Sticking it to The Man, and all that. If you’re a fan of Creative Commons, AdBusters, or the Yes Men, Harold’s book might be right up your alley.
