In Praise of Ravelry

Got your Google+ invite? Yes? Created some circles, placing people where you think they belong in your life then moving them about every time someone else you know appears on the site?  Wish the circles would overlap because you just can’t resist a decent Venn diagram? Want a Ninth Circle of Google+

Guerrilla Girls Exhibit at Rutgers

This past Tuesday, I headed up to New Brunswick to see an art exhibit with @mswas and @yuricon. Surprising in a number of ways, not least of which was seeing @mswas so soon after attending a concert in Asbury together, I not only enjoyed the exhibit but, more important, loved the discussion these im

A Backpack in Paris

I love serendipity, both the concept and the movie.  Within a 48 hour time span, I watched Up in the Air and Midnight in Paris for very different reasons.  The former I chose to watch with my 6 eCommerce students as their last assignment in an effort to put some of the pressure of graduating and [..

My Foodtown needs Foursquare

On Monday, I attended The RealTime Report in New York.  I’ve been blogging about the various case studies over the past few days, but today I’ll take a look at one of the many informative panels. Another part of #RLTM was the panels on various real time topics.  My personal favorite was “Real Time,

Bravo Conquers Social TV

Anyone who’s read my blog posts over the past years or knows me in real life must know how much I LOVE Bravo.  Now, the whole Housewives series leaves me cold, but I was hooked by Jonathan Antin and Jackie Warner way back when and watching Top Chef is sacrosanct in my house.  (Don’t get [...]

Eventbrite & Facebook: Perfect Together

On Monday, June 6, 2011, I attended the RealTime Report in New York City.  A rebranding of TWTRCON, this year’s conference focused on more case studies and “tales from the trenches”.  Over the next few posts, I’ll share those case students that really exemplify what real time marketing is and how co

What’s in your lunchbox?

I attended two conferences in the past few days: the Emerging Learning Design (ELD) conference at Montclair University and The RealTime Report (#RLTM) in New York.  The audience at ELD was primarily educators at the college and high school level.  The latter event was all about business, and I’ll be

Busy coding…

and makin’ websites! All good stuff that I love to do (and I am incredibly happy to be freelancing once again), but it does take away from my time to write.  I even have some wonderful topics I need to share and will do so in the near future! Friday, June 3rd, I’ll be at [...]
