There are already a couple of regular social media events in Scotland (such as the New Media Breakfast or Craig McGill's Scottish Social Media Dinners).

The latest to step out onto the landscape is Media140 Scotland which kicks off in Glasgow on Thursday.

Keynote speaker Trey Pennington has drafted up a guest blog piece for us ahead of his arrival in Scotland.

The American, who has 85,000 followers on Twitter, is recognised as a big hitter when it comes to social media uses for business.

So here's what he had to say.

We have dipped our toe in social networking at Business7 and Insider over the past year.

Our Twitter feeds have been quite popular (here and here) and both publications are also on Facebook (here and here).

The next obvious step was to do something on the social network most popular with business - Linkedin.

So that was exactly what we did and a new group for Business7 and Insider readers has been set up here.

Due to the pressures of work (ie having a paper and magazine to get out, blogs to do and a website to monitor) I can't get out for the day to go along to the GlobalScot conference.

Reluctantly I had to turn down the invite from Scottish Enterprise to attend as I am already out of the office for two afternoons this week.

There is a great line up of speakers and I have spent some of today watching the twitter feed (use #GlobalScot to access it) streaming from the event.

Which in a roundabout way brings me to my point.
