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 […]

Facebook your way to the polls
Yes, this election year is marked by heavy use of technology, more than the past few elections. Obviously, different types of social media have appeared and now many are being used for the benefit of electing people to power – most notably to the White House. Take for example tonight’s debate in New Hampshire on […]
The Issue of Social Media Sustainability and Durability
So this past week I’ve been mulling around on Facebook and it got me thinking about the usability of social media. Is this interactive form of marketing applicable in ALL circumstances? I don’t think so. Taking my work in tourism as an example, social media applications like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Dopplr, Seesmic, Qik, […]
How social can you be to influence someone?
So while I was on Twitter early this morning, I came across this post where Shiv Singh had written an article/paper on why people and companies should “Think Social Influence Marketing in 2008” and after reviewing it, it definitely makes a lot of sense…and when you read it yourself, you’ll probably think that it’s common […]
LinkedIn’s Beta Site more Wiki’ish…it seems
So announced today on the LinkedIn blog, there is a new beta site for the social network for busy professionals. LinkedIn is opening it up to feedback but you’ll need to have an account to login and check out the new changes. What’s interesting about these changes is that they’re utilizing more wiki-style design…being able […]
Microsoft wants to know you’re behaving
In recent weeks, there has been much discussion about how Microsoft is trying to buy out Facebook and take it over, but ultimately resigned itself to buy a minority stake. Moreover, as part of that agreement, Microsoft will be allowed to serve its own ad model on Facebook and instead of a traditional role as […]
Defining the role of a Web Manager
What is a Web Manager? Probably also known as an eMarketing Manager, Interactive Marketing Manager, or perhaps anything else that makes it seem Internet savvy, this client-based position is rather open-ended, in my opinion. First of all, in the beginning days of the Internet, it would seem that a web manager would be responsible for […]
Hola! Neighbor…Greet your community online…
I think this is a pretty good way to become more “neighborly” in the world today. Late last month, an group of people got together to form DCStartupWeekend and as a result of their collaborative effort, they decided to unveil the latest in social networking…they created HolaNeighbor.com as a means of forming a better community.
