#FollowFriday: The Capital Innovators
This is a weekly series that I’m hoping to help add some more relevance to the #FollowFriday (what’s this?) Twitter activity originally started through Lijit’s own Micah Baldwin to help connect Twitterers. For this week’s selection, we’re jumping to the right coast of the United States to check out the awesome folks in the DC Metro/Mid-Atlantic region and why […]
One hashtag to find them all…#inaug09
We’re rapidly approaching zero-hour here in the United States and the anticipation is growing. People are eager for the moment to rejoice & celebrate when the 44th President of the United States is sworn in. This time it’s something more historic and, while celebratory, is during a dark time in the country with downward job […]
Case Study: Promoting a brand through social media & widgets
Washington, DC is known as the nation’s capital, but also has tried to extend itself beyond the travel and tourism clutter and become a popular destination…and for good reason. It has historical monuments, world-famous museums, international cuisine, galleries & theatres, embassies, and much more. But what has DC done to help promote it online? Aside […]
Live from DC…it’s the Twin Tech party.
So last night was perhaps one of the greatest tech mashups of the year. Organized by iStrategyLabs CEO, Peter Corbett and sponsored by perhaps some of the DC Metropolitan area’s best technology partners like ClearSpring, SocialTimes.com, JobMatchbox.com, Tech Cocktail, AwayFind, Livingston Communications, the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC), and many others, the local tech community […]
Live From Podcamp DC
So I’ve finally arrived at Podcamp DC and it’s been an interesting ride thus far. Stopped by the first session and learned a little about how to set up your podcast and then bailed probably a few minutes in to head over to another session where Podcast organizer Christopher Penn was talking about setting up […]
Podcamp DC, Here I Come!
So after being told that some of the people that I know are going to Podcamp DC this Saturday, I decided to see if I could register. At one point, I noticed that registration was now closed and you’d have to be bumped to the waitlist. Well, forget that! Then just yesterday I tried to […]
A success story: Introducing the NEW washington.org!
So as I may have alluded to in random postings or on Twitter, I’ve been going through the past 7-8 months racking my brain about how to launch a new site. The company I work for has undergone a complete revamp of things and we’ve rebranded, changed our entire organization name, and even our website. […]
Twitter, Facebook, or Blogging: Which is a better extension of your brand?
Now before you say anything, I’m sure that all three of the above mentioned applications are probably best used in collaboration with each other to help accentuate your brand online. BUT, what I’m asking is which of the three: Twitter, Facebook, or setting up your own blog, would help create more “buzz” for your brand? […]
Get your tech foot in the door with Job Matchbox
So I was quite fortunate enough to hang out with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Neel of Job Matchbox tonight and we shot the breeze about what was going on with their site since they recently redesigned their site and a bunch of other things. As it turns out, it’s probably been a couple of months […]
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 […]
