I think one of the major turning points in my social media studies has to be attending Social Fresh Nashville this year. Getting to meet so many great people there who are taking Social Media to the next level was amazing. One of the sessions I remember most was @JasonFalls talking about Social Media and [...]

Your community will protect you…
This past week, I felt just how powerful social media here in Birmingham can be. A couple of weeks back, I went to Social Fresh Nashville. It was great to rub elbows with Community Managers and CEOs who are living proof that social media can stay social and benefit a business (ROI anyone?). In the [...]
Conan’s Final Thoughts
I just want to take a moment late on this friday night to say I’m part of #teamcoco and supporting Conan O’Brian in the NBC debacle. Part of his final monologue addressed something I try to run Social Media Birmingham by and all of my social media consulting. Nobody in life gets exactly what they [...]
FourSquare – mobile location fun
So, for about the last two weeks, I’ve been playing with FourSquare, a location-based game on most app-based phones. Since it opened to all cities around the world back on January 8th, I’ve seen it’s usage amongst my friends triple. The idea behind foursquare is that you compete for points with your friends by “checking [...]
WordCamp Atlanta 2010
Part one of Geekend Jan 2010 was attending WordCamp Atlanta. Let me first start off by saying thank you to @tessa, @sheatsb and @cdharrison for putting on an amazing conference. Incredible turn out and incredible support for the local community. Now, #wcatl had three main tracks: Design, Development, and Content. I attended at least one [...]

Yesterday and today, I’ve been in #Nashville for #sofresh. I know @treypennington has already hit me up for a blog post about #wcatl and I know that [...]
Anyone using Google Wave regularly?
Last night I received and invite to a Linkedin group attempting to organize scattered Google Wave users. Now, I remember when Google Wave invites were all the rage and trust me, I got mine. But I never found it very useful, mainly because I haven’t used it. It’s an extra window. And while I open [...]
blippy: twitter meets consumerism
As I’m changing the goals of the blog, one thing I want to do more of is review new social media mediums. One of the mediums that has peeked my interest is Blippy. I first heard about Blippy from one of my co-workers and started following them on Twitter. It seemed like over the Christmas [...]
My Resolutions for 2010
Well it’s about that time of year again. Everyone is looking at the new year as a fresh start to set goals. I’m not one for jumping on the bandwagon, but this year I’ll give it a goal. Besides, one thing I’ve been lacking here are measurable goals… [/duh]. Hopefully, these resolutions will give you [...]
A quick reflection on 2010 and the new decade…
@Amberweinberg tweeted out today asking for her followers to make suggestions for a list of 101 things to do in 2010 if you’re a freelance developers. Starting out on my developing career as continuing in the jungle of Social Media something has become very apparent to me in the last few weeks. And it’s best [...]
