Since arriving in Utah, I have found the Social Media community to be fun, warm and inclusive - one of the many reasons that I love my new home state!
Some of the really fun ladies are the Sassies - they have great giveaways, awesome local features and the Sassies individually have wonderful blogs. Connect with them at SassyScoops.com!

Utah has great tweeps and there are few as active and engaging as the tweep @IGoByDoc, aka Darin Berntson. Doc is a social media maven and has been actively working with clients in the realms of internet marketing and social media over the past five years. "I fell in love doing the ins and outs of Social Media over the last couple of years, so I decided to focus more on that rather than typical internet marketing strategies. For me, my favorite thing is to talk to a business, and see how we can help them succeed online."
Doc's newest venture combines his love of social media, his local business strategies and another favorite - video. Local Joints TV launched at the beginning of May with Doc and his great smile in front of the camera talking to local Salt Lake City & Utah County business owners.
Episode One was Doc talking to Smashburger in Draper, Utah and all the Beehive Blog can say is - Watch out Food Network - Utah has a rising star!
For Doc and Local Joints TV, the philosophy is "behind every business is a great story and we are here to tell them". Doc figured that video was the best way to get these stories out. "Local Joints TV is an everyman's version of some bigger shows but with a local feel and favor. On our show, we are focusing on businesses that are in the food, fun and entertainment categories."
