#FollowFriday – Movers & Shakers: The Legend Continues

This is a weekly series that I’m hoping to help add some more relevance to the #FollowFriday (what’s this?) Twitter activity that originally started through Lijit’s own Micah Baldwin to help connect Twitterers with one another. For this week’s selection, I’m looking at some more people who I believe are making serious headway into the world of the web – whether […]

#FollowFriday – Meet Some Movers & Shakers

This is a weekly series that I’m hoping to help add some more relevance to the #FollowFriday (what’s this?) Twitter activity that originally started through Lijit’s own Micah Baldwin to help connect Twitterers with one another. I’ve been asked on occasion about folks to follow and why these people are relevant. So this is my attempt at showing meaning behind my selections. […]

Racing to be first might not always be the best

I happened to read an earlier post on MSNBC featuring Mashable.com editor Adam Ostrow talking about how people can become overloaded by all the different web 2.0 startup applications emerging practically every day. Perhaps what I enjoyed best about this article was this quote that relates to all marketers out there that feel that they […]

Designing on the fly

I must say that I enjoy hearing about the latest alpha and beta invites that come through Mashable. That’s how I came across this latest find: Aviary. In case you didn’t know, Aviary is a web-based application set that is specifically targeted to those “who love to create”. When I’ve explored their website, I found […]

Sprouting content throughout the web

Creating a widget has never been easier. Just today, Jeremiah Owyang listed on Twitter some great articles on Business Week that talks about the future of marketing being widgets. And why not…widgets are the new buzzword of the year. Everyone basically has a website now and is rapidly poaching on the social network as I […]

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 […]

Twitter 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 […]

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 […]
