Since ASAE’s Annual Conference officially kicks off tomorrow (!!!!), I wanted to share some of the amazing photos we took at the conference last year. What are you most looking forward to this year? Even if you’re not attending, be sure to follow the Twitter hashtag #asae11!

In some interesting social media news, Twitter has just launched its own photo and video search. Now, when you search a term at the top of the page, relevant photos and videos will appear on the right side along with related tweets. Additionally, Twitter users will soon be able to attach photos and video to their tweets without third party clients – even from Twitter’s own mobile apps.

What does this mean for associations?

Well, members will be able to more easily find photos from the association and other members, provided the image’s corresponding tweet has enough information. And these features are likely bad news bears for companies such as Twitpic, which hosts millions and millions of Twitter users’ photos.

Photos and videos are a huge part of Twitter’s success and allow users across the world to share experiences with one another. I wouldn’t be surprised if your own members have shared photos while at your annual conference or another association event.

Do you use Twitpic or another photo sharing service for your association’s social media efforts? Will you switch to using Twitter’s official photo and video uploader when it’s unveiled?

Just wanted to share a few photos from our holiday potluck today. We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

We’re at ASAE’s Technology Conference this week, so I wanted to share a few photos. Come see us in booth 110!

Happy Labor Day! To celebrate the return of football season, MemberClicks always hosts a tailgate potluck party. Everyone wears their school’s colors and brings food and it’s a lot of fun. I’ll be back with a bigger post tomorrow, but for now, here are some photos from the event.
