I’ve got very little time to spare these days and for the next little while, as we are fast approaching the date of my organization’s major event on Sunday, August 3, at the same time as we are getting ready to launch our new website (about to launch in beta in about ten days - [...]

Brightkite is a location-based social network, in which you post your location when you feel like updating. You can also post photos, which is nice.
However, I am already [...]

I’m in the final two weeks of presenting What’s Your Story: Personal Branding, PR and New Media for Artists — an eight-week class for artists who are just getting started in online promotions and sales — and today I spent some time firming up a few technical details with my next speaker, Len Edgerly, podcaster [...]

What good is Twitter? What’s the practical use of it?
I’m leading an eight-week course for artists on how they can use a combination of new and old media to promote themselves and get the word out about their art, and tonight one of the artists asked me that question. (You can visit the class [...]

…what makes a successful online community? A single, easy-to-use feature. Click here to participate. Do only this one thing. After you get your participants “addicted,” go ahead and add another thing.
That’s the buried nugget of gold from Francine Hardaway’s excellent post about what makes an effective online community. (Hat tip to Jeremiah Owyang [...]

Guy Kawasaki’s new Alltop website keeps rolling out new section pages, and the latest to catch my eye, not surprisingly, is the Nonprofit News links page.

I’m honored by the good folks over at @bar, who have posted their interview of me in their ongoing series, Tech Star Tuesdays. They asked some intriguing questions, some challenging questions, and some questions just for fun.

I was glad to see that the New York Times picked up on the final stages of the America’s Giving Challenge. The contest is over, and the cause I’ve been flogging/blogging appears to have (unofficially) emerged victorious.

So I met Beth Kanter and her delightful family for dinner tonight in Falmouth! We were going to meet at a Cambodian restaurant that I had never been to before, but alas, I have still never been to it, because it was shuttered for the Dead Season (January-February-March, when all Cape Cod restaurateurs go [...]
