Putting it all into context
Albeit not totally a historical day, the World Wide Web has put forth two pretty significant announcements this morning. First was the news coming from Virginia-based company, AOL, and the story that they purchased Bebo for $850 million. That’s awfully nice of them and I think it’ll give AOL a good step into breaking into […]
Can someone PLEASE create social media anonymous?
Thanks to Geoff Livingston for posting this on Twitter…for without it, I wouldn’t have 5 minutes of enjoyment today during the work hours.
You know you want to blog, but with what?
Thanks to an indirect referral, I heard about Christina Warren who was lucky enough to attend SXSW (I wasn’t able to go so I’m jealous), but through a friend of a friend, I came across her Twitter name and found out she has a website/blog…well several in fact. So I was scouring through her blog […]
Free web analytics: might as well use them
Jeremiah Owyang had this great twitter posting earlier today about how most of the folks that come to his site earned around $100k or more. How did his quantify that amount? I doubt he went to the owners of each individual IP address that visited his site and did a survey of their personalities to […]
Seesmic can bridge the world!
I discovered Seesmic probably about a few months ago and it seemed to be in its infancy, but these days, it’s been making some remarkable breakthroughs including a post from a US soldier in Iraq! Imagine no longer waiting for lines to communicate with your loved ones. If you have a mobile phone, you can […]
Reading about SXSWi is almost like being there
I’ve heard of South by Southwest many years ago, but haven’t had the luxury of attending…but from what I’ve been reading on various blogs like Technosailor, The Social Times, and Valleywag and also on Twitter, it’s quite amusing to learn what’s happened in Austin over the last 24-48 hours. From Scoble’s Qik tour of the […]
News is no longer a one-way communication. Start to get social.
As a consequence of attending Wednesday’s soiree at Ogilvy’s office in downtown DC for MashMeet DC Remix, I ran into Kimberly from Searchles who’s company apparently did a demo of their product for the folks in attendance (I didn’t watch all the PowerPoint presentations sadly). She was there to film the presentations for posting on […]
Because dropping names just isn’t fun without actually meeting them…
I’m quite ecstatic about things that are going on with my online presence, I must admit. It’s the small things that make it all worth it. In just the last 24 hours, I’ve been noticed by some of the best minds in the Washington, DC tech community and ultimately it’s because I did a handshake. […]
Mashing and Shaking
Stopping by last night’s MashMeet DC Remix was not originally on my plate of things to do this month, but after receiving a comment/invitation from Ann Bernard, President & CEO of WhyGoSolo.com, I figured that why not. This event I thought would be good to try and hob-nob with some of the best and the […]
How do you silence the socially literate?
A simple observation from when I was at last night’s MashMeet DC Remix event held at Ogilvy PR’s office in downtown DC… I understand that some of these events often times allow companies to demonstrate their products to try and reach out to investors and those sought-after early adopters (which I’m trying ever so much […]
