South by Southwest Attendees: Organize!
The 2009 South by Southwest interactive (SXSWi) conference is rapidly approaching and this past weekend I had a crazy idea that I’d actually attend this year. Why?

Using all the tools at your disposal to listen.
If you’ve ever seen Gary Vaynerchuk in person or caught him online doing one of his Wine Library TV episodes on UStream or any other crazy antics, you’ll know that he pays attention to his customers. Period. Just catch him on UStream doing a random chat session and ask him some questions about wine and […]

I’ve used some of the major social bookmarking applications out in the world wide web over the past couple of years and each one is pretty different, but has its own use nevertheless. If you’d like to know about what social bookmarking is, here’s how Wikipedia defines it: is a method for Internet users to […]
