← Back to startTwitter Advocacy
It’s kinda interesting talking about this as I’ve found myself over the past couple of weeks mentioning Twitter to several different audiences. One being to someone on the cusp of social media, a group of Generation Y students from college (who you would think are most prone to social tools), and to the public relations […]
Google’s next acquisition? Welcome mobile search
It’s really cool finding out what other folks are looking at these days. I suppose that’s why they call it social media – that’s pretty much how I came across this latest website and social tool. Introducing ChaCha – perhaps the next acquisition by Google? Why do I say that? Well because ChaCha allows folks […]
Judging Sprout
So the social media population just keep growing in 2008. Just announced today, Mashable has offered a limited number of invitations to sample Sprout’s beta site. I was one of the lucky few to snatch them up and it took a little bit to figure out what it was, but after a little bit, I […]
Web marketing for tourists 2.0
So I was asked one day to speak to a group of graduate students from George Washington University about how we at the Washington, DC Convention & Tourism Corp. (WCTC) use our website to reach out to potential/future visitors and also to talk about Web 2.0 and its applications on tourism. I remember being asked […]
Technology helping veterans
In a really cool story, CNN has an article that talks about how the US Army is taking advantage of the advancements in technology to help make life easier for the returning soldiers who unfortunately were wounded in combat overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan.

What’s intriguing about this is that the company, BT, is asking its young graduates that they hire to spearhead this campaign. And […]
Yahoo to layoff hundreds of staff to try and catch up
So have I told you about Twitter? It’s great. I get to find out about the latest news in my industry from folks and one great source of news is Techmeme. Announced today and published in the New York Times, Yahoo has decided to layoff hundreds of their staff in an attempt to save the […]
I’m an Omnivore. I like technology.
I like Twitter. It really allows me the chance to meet interesting folks and learn stuff about the Internet and social media that I can share with everyone. Take for example the great folks at Burson-Marsteller. The introduced me to the fact that the Pew Internet & American Life Project created a study that will […]
It’s the small things that seem to matter.
So I happened to be at my first Refresh DC event and someone was talking about Widget DevCamp that’s going on this weekend. Of course I’ll be attending this event, but what came across my mind is that while this event will hopefully result in people creating widgets and/or applications that people will use en […]
Do you know how many people visited your site? You do? According to who?
I’ve always known that there is a difference between web analytic software. Whether you’re using WebTrends, HitWise, Coremetrics, Omniture, Google Analytics, or even LiveStats, there are definitely differences in how things are measured. But it’s surprising HOW much of a difference there is. Why am I blogging about this? We’ve been using LiveStats for the […]
