Recap of BlogWorld Expo, plus a little *sizzle*
As I mentioned here and here, I was fortunate to attend my first BlogWorld Expo last month. Having never gone before, I was eager to experience this social media conference in all ways possible. Meaning, as a speaker, an attendee, and a sponsor. I’m going to try to cover the conference from all three perspectives, as …
Customer service done RIGHT
Earlier this year, I had a most unfortunate experience at the Residence Inn in Austin TX during SXSW. It was made even worse by the fact that the hotel staff really didn’t think that there was a problem. There was little if any effort to reach out to me and say, hey, we value you as …
The BIG BAG and a call to marketers
Wiley author Daniel Terdiman, who I met for the first time at SXSW, published a great piece revealing exactly what attendees at the conference received when they picked up their badges. A bag. A BIG BAG. A BIG BAG full of stuff. As a SXSW newbee, I was surprised when after I got my badge …

Stalking elleinthecity at SXSW
Chris Brogan pointed me to an excellent site that allowed me to compile my SXSW schedule. You’ll notice a bit of overlap, but that’s to be expected with so many great sessions. You’ll also see events after 9pm listed here, and we all know that I tend to be in bed before that, so don’t …
