SMCKL 5: Swarm Badge Success!
EDIT: Hell yeah boys & girls, we hit the mark with 50+ people checking in at Menara Star. May this, Malaysia’s first swarm badge, give you ultimate bragging rights. At least until a large group of geeks with smartphones congregate somewhere.
==========
The fifth SMCKL is going to be about ‘Government in the Age of Social Media’, and the turn out is massive: an expected crowd of almost 200 people in a place meant for 100+. In fact, the crowd response was so overwhelming, they had to move the location to Menara Star (yes, the newspaper one).
Since there are going to be so many people - who are supposed to be SM junkies - in one place, this is going to be the perfect chance to score the elusive Swarm Badge. Which failed to happen at the recent KL twestival. :(
Some tips on how to get the swarm badge:
- You need to be bloody on foursquare. Register here: http://foursquare.com
- Have internet access. Don’t have a smart phone? No problem, The Star allows visitors access to their wifi IF they have a MyStar account. Wifi moochers, do yourself a favor & preregister here: https://mystar.com.my/registration/
- Check in at the same place. The SMCKL blog says to checkin to the Cybertorium, but the best match I can find is called the Menara Star.
- Don’t bungle the date/time. It’s happening on Tuesday, March 30th at 7:00 PM.
