		<description><![CDATA[John, I would disagree. 

The social media scene is pretty big here in Atlanta, and as one of the big social media dudes myself, there are plenty of opportunities to plug yourself into the scene. 

What I&#039;ve found over the years here in Atlanta is that the social media scene (as you&#039;ve stated a little bit) is more focused. What I mean by that is, if you want to be social, you have to find a focus group that is what you want to be social about: bloggers meet ups, developer meetups, agile/scrum, marketing/pr, startups, etc.

Startup Riot is huge here, and so are major blogging meetups. You just missed a big meet up this past week for bloggers. 

In the end, it may be more focused here... and that tends to mean that there isn&#039;t much cross-over of social media types. Maybe it&#039;s just that they like to stay in their own little bubbles. 

Do let me know when/where you&#039;ll be headed in terms of social media in Atlanta. I&#039;m always down.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John, this is a great post as I often am drawing comparisons to the NYC scene since I have only been living in Atlanta now for a few months. The NYC scene sounds very similar to the Austin scene as it is populated by start up folks looking to network by building relationships to help foster their business. Atlanta DOES have a very corporate &quot;inside&quot; scene and that was the first thing I noticed when I first was looking for social media related events here.  NYC has numerous events going on from a social/start-up perspective on a daily basis due to the wide variety of groups there. I&#039;ve met some great people here in Atlanta already and I am definitely looking forward to the next ATLBashh, thanks for helping put that together!]]></description>
