Why Do We Build Community?

Oct 1, 2010 | One Comment

I wear many hats along my chosen career path: writer, live streamer, speaker and mentor. The best part of what I do, though, is to help build our community. Make no mistake, it is our community, not mine. I simply provide the various tools to bring all of you together. Tonight, I was reminded why [...]

I Found Me Some @LizMoney

Mar 12, 2010 | No Comments

Found her in the middle of the crosswalk. Her phone sucks when taking pictures – even at SXSW. Forgive the quality! Keep in mind that the smiles were more than real! Liz is great! Thanks to AMD for making this moment possible!

Have You Met Your Online Friends in Person?

Jan 6, 2010 | 11 Comments

I meet up with many people on a regular basis, thanks to things like Tweetups and conferences. Not everyone is so lucky, though. Often, deep and lasting friendships are formed online, but the people involved never have a chance to meet face-to-face. Many people maintain that it’s easier to make a strong connection with someone [...]

Are Your Online Friends Real?

Sep 15, 2008 | 16 Comments

My “online” friends are just as awesome as my “offline” friends. Why do some people discount them just because they’re not “in the flesh”?! To me, it doesn’t matter if I ever see someone in person. If we connect on some level, and share similar interests, how are they NOT my friend? Believe me, there [...]

The Deal with Twitter

Feb 8, 2007 | 4 Comments

Okay, I got bored – and now you can learn about my boredom any time I care to tell you about my boring life! Seems silly to do, but… I’m a silly guy. Silly people know me, too (as evidenced by today’s twitterpations): Kitta Not really amazed that Anna Nicole Smith is dead, she was [...]

Scobleizing

Nov 17, 2006 | 21 Comments

Ponzi and I flew down to SF for the weekend to hang with the Scobles – Robert and Maryam. We just went out for sushi in Half Moon Bay (although I contend that Seattle sushi is infinitely better than Bay Area sushi). Right now, we’re enjoying Maryam’s coffee and sitting around the living room – [...]
