See all workshops here 1. How and when did you become a Geek Girl? I was born a geek girl in 1987. It started with books. Sci-fi and mystery books to be exact.

Where do the Geek Girls go to buy geeky gifts? Why ThinkGeek of course! Where else can you get “The Personal Soundtrack Shirt” as worn by Raj on the Big Bang Theory, a Tauntaun sleeping bag (because you’re never too old to want to be Luke), or your own micro plus microbes so you can cuddle up with your favorite malady? ThinkGeek has been the place where geeks go to shop for geeks since since Bill Gates was hot. Um, well since 1999. Bill Gates is still not hot. But he is geeky! Thanks to geek girl Carrie Gouldin and….

A Geek Girl’s take on the new Facebook Privacy Issues – What you Need to Know

genevangelist No Comments

As I starting writing this blog post on Saturday morning, I was intrigued by all the blog posts, articles, even local news channels all getting their panties in a bind about the “new Facebook Privacy” issues. I was kind of shocked by all the outrage and nasty comments of the new Facebook announcement for privacy changes making their rounds on Twitter, Facebook and other sites, considering the first rules of the Internet that everyone should know. So, in total Fight Club manner, I give you those rules. Rule #1: Never post anything to the Internet you never want anyone to….

Getting the Best Bargains Online for Black Friday through Christmas

genevangelist 11 Comments

If you are as busy as I am, then you know organization and timing is everything. Right down to your Christmas list. And if you are online 15 hours a day like I am sometimes, all your friends think you always know where the best deals are. I felt compelled during the silly season to quickly mention some great online sites, email updates, and some apps that I use to get some, as we say back in my home state of Rhode Island, “Wicket Bah-gins” for the holiday season. Not everything is listed, but some I find to be pretty….

Social Media meets Mortality: How do you handle a deceased person's online presence?

genevangelist 3 Comments

I had been thinking about this for a long time, especially as people pass away that you know intimately or in a business setting. What is the appropriate way to handle a deceased person’s online presence on Social Media? Recently, a few people I know have passed on and yet everyone once in a while, their faces appear when I login in to some of my online accounts as people I should “follow”, “friend” or “Connect” with. Unfortunately, I already know they are no longer alive so I started thing what is the appropriate way to go about wither advising….

Get stuck on Glue!

genevangelist No Comments

Author’s note: My past posts have been directed to social media applications and tools outside of the leading platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. My aim is to educate everyone on the many ways to connect with people outside just Twitter and Facebook, using diverse and interesting technologies and tools that everyone should try to be part of the conversation. You can then make a decision if it is something you want to use more of or not in your social media strategy or just for fun. You never know where that “connection” you make online turns out to be….

Using FriendFeed in your Social Media Strategy

genevangelist 6 Comments

Some people swear by Twitter; that it is the only place for them when using social media to interact with others. Still others will only use Facebook or LinkedIn for interacting and connecting. And quite a few more folks are proponents of their blogs, RSS feeds, Flickr, social bookmarks and many other social networking sites. But how about using a service that aggregates all of these in real-time in one easy-to-use stream that provides a more comprehensive interaction with your followers and community? And provide a lot more content and search capability? This is what FriendFeed does. FriendFeed is what….

genevangelist 2 Comments

We at Geek Girl are very proud of volunteering our time last Friday for a worthwhile event. Suffolk University, the renown Boston school, also has a Cape Cod extension where they put on some pretty cool programs for the locals. This particular event was about New Media for Non-Profits and it was infiltrated by about 150 non-profits, not-for-profits and charities all around Cape Cod and the South Shore. Us Geek Girls were the “Help Desk/Resource” for the event and we filled an incredibly important role in that we sat down face to face with many attendees who had questions on….
