Nominations for the Twin Cities Titans in Social Media competition have closed. This year we received significantly more nominations than last year, and I thank everyone who participated.  A number of people requested that I put together a complete list of the nominees, so I have, but there are a few more things about the competition I want to remind you about first.

Two of last year’s winners, Kate Iverson & David Erickson, are going to judge the nominees with me to determine who will be the Twin Cities Top Ten Titans In Social Media 2010.  Kate Iverson is a writer, editor, event producer and creative consultant from Minneapolis. She’s the editor for both l’etoile magazine online and the LOL/OMG Social Media Gossip Blog, as well as arts editor for Secrets of the City.  David Erickson is Director of e-Strategy for Tunheim Partners, he blogs about strategic online communication at his Strategy Internet Marketing Blog.

The winners will be announced at an event on Thursday, December 9th, from 7:00 – 9:00 pm at the Rogue Buddha Gallery.  The MC of the event is Miss Shannan Paul and Hi Fi/Lo Fi will be Dj’ing the event. Founded by artist, Nicholas Harper, in January of 2000, the Rogue Buddha Gallery is an award winning contemporary art gallery located in the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District and is home to the visual arts, dance, film/video and music.

The Twin Cities Top Ten Titans In Social Media 2010 is sponsored by Just Judy Creative Communications. The people who make the list will have made an impact on society through using social media in the past year. People on the list may be independent, work for large companies, work in media, public relations, politics, the arts, or some other type of work. One thing that that will determine the winners is that they will be people who are finding new ways to use social media and pushing the limits of the platforms they are using.
