March is a busy month. Spring works hard to get our attention with her increasingly lovely weather and beautifully blooming blossoms. But she has competition for our affections. We find ourselves beckoned to that technology smorgasbord up north. Yes, it’s that time of year: South by Southwest (SXSW) has arrived! And although many of us will be making our annual trek to pay homage to all things Interactive, San Antonio has several spectacular social media events of its own this month.

San Antonio loves social media!

When I figure out a new trick to improve my Facebook Page and I share it with others who can use the info too, my heart beats just a little bit faster. When I make new business and personal connections on Twitter or find fascinating articles from Facebook Pages I follow, my palms get just a little bit clammy. And when I nail a video, install a new plugin on WordPress, or publish a perfect pic to Instagram, I feel butterflies. It’s true. I’m a girl in love…with social media.

What better month to explore our passion for all things social in San Antonio than February? Check back often for updates to this list. Is your San Antonio social media event missing? Leave the info in comments (or send a DM to @colleenpence) and I’ll add it.
