Get stuck on Glue!

Aug 6, 2009 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

Aug 4, 2009 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….

Customer Service in the state of "Now"

Jul 9, 2009 genevangelist 2 Comments

My friend Jeff Pulver just recently pulled off one of the most incredible conferences on what he calls the “State of Now”. (I was honored to work with him behind the scenes!) The 140 Characters Conference was not a simple event on how to use Twitter. Au contraire, my tweet friend. It was a vast cultural expansion into how the state of now is changing the entire world. If we have learned one thing about Twitter, Facebook, Apple, YouTube, Google and Amazon, they have been changing the future of how we do things, faster, more efficiently and with a wider….

Bada Bing, Wave and "The Curse Heard Round the Globe", and Recent Other Geeky News

Jun 4, 2009 genevangelist 2 Comments

I read a lot of online news. A ton. RSS feeds, Twitter feeds, news blogs, Google Alerts showing me new stuff; it never ends. Some of the things I really went nuts over this past week had to do with two new applications from Google and Microsoft as well as something I am still trying to swish around in my brain to fully understand that has something to do briefly with women in tech. Bing I of course am speaking of the new search engine just released from Microsoft known as “Bing“, a much nicer and more stylish search engine….

OMG – John Tesh just tweeted me…

May 7, 2009 genevangelist 8 Comments

So, my typical day consists of many hours online either blogging, tweeting, Facebooking, LinkingIn, you name it. At the speed of light. Because I am impulsive that way. I have very little time to get things done and too many things to do. Which is why I really love Twitter. Now, before you say, “Oh God, not another blog on Twitter…”, wait. I am just going to show you how things happen on Twitter that could never happen anywhere else. Short and sweet. The other thing you must know about me is that I am totally random. ADD-like random. Rain….

Thoughts on New Media for Non-Profits

Apr 22, 2009 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….

Oprah is on Twitter, Girlfriend!

Apr 22, 2009 genevangelist 3 Comments

Well, it was only a matter of time before the Queen of Daytime got her fingers on the keyboard to tweet to the world. And last Friday, Oprah, or as we call her in Twitterville, @Oprah , signed on to Twitter and the Internet has never been the same. Spurred on perhaps by the “Ashton Kutcher/ Larry King/Ding Dong Ditch Ted Turner” spectacle, the “O” was able to connect with all of us who have been here for years and perhaps felt we were free from celebrity and only for geeks. In less than one week, as I type this,….

Twitter Discovery Search: Search = Money

Apr 2, 2009 genevangelist No Comments

I am one of the fortunate subsets that has the new Twitter Discovery Search on my web-based Twitter profile to test out, and I am elated that Twitter has done this on their own homepage! Is that real-time search THAT important? You Bet. In a tweet this morning from someone I respect in the world of investment, especially in Internet companies, Howard Lindzon said,”Twitter is fun and all but it’s all about the search when it comes to money .” And he is right. At my web development company, data and search is huge in everything we build. Think of….

What's This Follow Friday Thingie?

Mar 27, 2009 genevangelist 3 Comments

Since it is Friday and I am often asked what this “Follow Friday” thingie is, I thought I would just put up a quick post on Follow Friday, or as we denote this on Twitter as #followfriday. #followfriday is a fun sort of game/Twitter trend to engage people to follow your recommended users and assist others in finding new and interesting Tweeps, or Twitter Peeps. Tweeps are people with a mutual following. It follows the use of “Hashtags”, which are used to identify a “topic” on Twitter. You simply add # in front of what you want to identify as….
