The lyrics may be truer than ever when you think about mixing new and traditional media; this thought struck me right in the eye last week while I was standing in line at a local Starbucks in Tallahassee.……
Travel and New Media
by Fernando Senra on April 20, 2009As I look toward next year’s vacation (yes- I’m a big planner), I’m starting to take advantage of all the new technology ready to assist me on how best to spend my hard-earned money on rest and relaxation. I’m determined to visit Europe in 2010 – a sort of personal goal. I’ve been researching travel options such as cruises, strictly-guided tours, loosely-guided tours, carefully planned self travel, and fly by the seat of your pants travel. The options are overwhelming and there are truly ups and downs to each. I’ve started to incorporate the help of travel blogs, travelogues, and……
Building Relationships - Virtually
by Jim Hunt on July 30, 2009Ever since I read Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point, I identified myself as a being a “connector.” As a connector, one of the great benefits of being actively engaged in social networking is the ever-present opportunity to link up with friends, both new and those with whom we have long-time trusted relationships. Throughout 2009 I have been enjoying a growing camaraderie and close connection with a talented diverse group of fellow connectors via Twitter. Interestingly this group, now commonly known online as the #PositivePosse, was organized just like the venue it communicates in…virtually. No one person leads the group and……
Tweeting to Sweet Victory
by Jamie Fortune on October 13, 2009I am not a typical sports fan. While I like tailgating and attending live events, I enjoy people-watching more than game-watching. I do not have loyalty to any particular teams, I simply cheer for the home team or whoever happens to be winning. So I found it funny when a friend was recently looking for one more person to round out his fantasy football league, he asked me. While he may have thought I would be easy to beat as a rookie (and a female), he underestimated my competitiveness and my plan to incorporate social media into my overall fantasy……
2009 - A Positively Tweet Year
by Jim Hunt on December 30, 2009Sometimes in your life you are fortunate to be at the right place at the right time and so it was for me on Twitter in 2009. I began tweeting in March ‘08 to follow @claytonbell during the birth of his daughter Caroline. From the start I was amazed being able to share in the excitement of Caroline’s arrival. The same same energy and excitement continues and is ignited almost daily in communicating with those whom I now count as some of my closest friends via Twitter: the #PositivePosse. No coincidence, it is only divine intervention through innovation that brings……
