Girls in Tech Post: Greg Mortenson and thoughts on women

[This post was originally written for the Girls in Tech blog]

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Greg Mortenson speak.  Greg started a campaign 16 years ago to increase the number of rural schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which has since grown into the Central Asia Institute (among other initiatives).  I could say a [...]

2010 Predictions for digital technology, social media and other

I posted a few of my marketing predictions over at Other Side Group, but here’s another set that includes digital activism and other goodies.

Location-based digital technology use will give way to several major advances in the fields of citizen journalism and digital activism.  Patrick will agree with me – there will be a major increase [...]

A small note on Personal Brands, Transparency & Digital Technologies

There’s no escaping the recent headlines of big names having something “private” being discovered, and having their brand tarnished – sometimes severely.  And there’s also no lack of backlash by said big names on the issue of being able to have a private life that’s private.

Take Tiger for example (I didn’t even know what link [...]

Open Access to Government Data: Benefits versus risks

I was listening to a back episode of NYT Tech Talk podcast from 9 December on this story about governments offering up data for developers to mash-up things like phone apps that can give you the safest route home at night (using government crime data) and other such things.

Why I love editing, and why it’s (really!) important

[I'm going to preface this post by telling everyone that I'm borderline OCD about spelling and grammar (for the most part... if I'm writing my mom and have three seconds, I may just plow through)]

I’m a big (big) information taker-inner (news, blogs, etc etc).  Which means I read a lot.  A lot of what I [...]

Oldies, but goodies (Part I)

As you may have seen over on the Other Side Group blog, I was scrounging up old content to give the readers, and thought I’d do the same over here.  Some of them are the same posts, some of them are different.  And same goes, I thought I was going to go all the way [...]

I do love Boston

I attended an event hosted by Mayor Menino and the Boston World Partnership on Monday night. My thoughts are found here.  But I just wanted to add that I just love this city.  It’s really fantastic.

Has New Media Left Strategy in the Dust?

[This was originally posted on the Other Side Group blog]

I’m exaggerating, but I do think the plunge that companies have taken into the new media space has largely ignored the importance of strategy in a way we haven’t quite seen before.

Why?

The field of new media “gained” on us very quickly, it changes every day, new [...]
