I met some really incredible people this week at the WebGrrls and Social Media Club of NYC’s holiday parties. People I had great conversations with – talking about everything from Twitter to zombies and the state of the legacy media today. I started doing a combined #FF post, but realized I met so many cool [...]

I’ve actually done #FollowFriday posts on my pinko commie hippie friends before, but there are a couple I was holding off on because they had a big new project forthcoming and I wanted to have the chance to suggest a FollowFriday for that, as well. Well, now I’m a little behind the times and their [...]

This being Thanksgiving weekend and all, I thought I’d do a Follow Friday this week on people I’m thankful to have met met solely due to Twitter. I have to admit, I had my doubts about Twitter before I started using it regularly. I was tripped up by the “what are you doing?” prompt and [...]

Life’s been pretty busy lately, but I’ve been meeting up with tons of people at Diggnation, Web 2.0 and other events, on top of work. But I’ve been fortunate to get to see some folks I either haven’t seen in some time or have never actually met in real life before. So call this my [...]

I attended an interesting conference at CUNY (that’s City University of New York) this week and got to meet some interesting folks focused on hyperlocal journalism on the web. As someone tweeted during the conference, it was nice to be around a group of journalists (old-school and new) who wanted to find solutions rather than [...]

This week’s post is a continuation of last week’s #FollowFriday post, as I only touched the surface on the friends, new and old, whom I met in person for the first time at Blog World Expo in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. Last week I concentrated on people I’ve known the longest but never [...]

I had the good fortune of going to Bruce Springsteen’s second-to-last concert at Giants Stadium last night, thanks to a friend with an extra ticket. We had great seats, and I posted photos from each song to my Posterous – as well as a few extra pics. My Posterous tweets all new posts, so I [...]

One of the nice things about having worked at newspapers for so long and now being involved in social media is that I’ve gotten to know lots of cool people over the years, among them some very talented photographers. I thought I’d share some of those folks with you for my Follow Friday this week. [...]

Past lives. Many of us have had what seems like multiple lives – so many different workplaces that we know people from all over the place, many of whom we’ve reconnected with here on Twitter. I’ve had a few folks get in touch lately via Twitter whom I hadn’t seen or heard from in what [...]

In honor of International Bacon Day tomorrow, I thought I would dedicate today’s Follow Friday to some of the important Bacon-related accounts on Twitter. Some people have noticed the phrase “Bacon queen” in my Twitter bio and have asked me about it. Some have even challenged me on it. In the end, they all back [...]
