Sounds like fun! Are you going to be at the SXSW Mixer tomorrow night? Want to talk more about it there?

Exactly! It's easy to get wrapped up in buying drinks and going out for meals when networking/catching up with friends but there are more than enough opportunities to score pretty much everything for free!

Re: Conference Season is in Full Swing

a) If you are a hot chick who has a thing for fat Jewish men. (kidding! …sort of…)
You know I already adore you and I don't know about fat Jewish men but I do kind of have a gravitation towards men with dark hair and big noses! (Does that count?)

1) If you are going to Web20expo (or would if you got the pass)
I am not currently planning on Web 2.0 Expo but would definitely come if I got the pass! It is one of the few technology conferences I have never been to and I need another trip out to SF! I have already begun poking around for sponsorships to fund the trip out there from Atlanta. All the cool kids are going to Web 2.0 Expo, why can't I? Plus, if I win this badge, you'll get exposure to the corporates, entrepreneurs, bloggers, etc in the Southeast who rarely attend the SF conferences. I could shine the light of Web 2.0 Expo upon them with my online coverage thus creating further brand awareness and extending the interest further across the country!

2) If I asked the person that knows you best to describe you with one word, what would that word be and why.
Filthy. (Just kidding.) Tastemaker is one that is thrown around a good bit. I'm a saavy, proactive entrepreneur in the internet space and have been actively working in online marketing across many verticals for over a decade. People trust and follow my opinions, advice and direction due to the experiences I have had and the relationships I foster. I'm also just a generally friendly kinda gal. I am an early adopter in technology, an influencer in entertainment and always on the pulse of culture.

3) I will pick a winner at midnight Monday MST.
FANTASTIC! Let me know and I'll book my flight Monday night. ;)

Re: HOW TO: Use Social Media for Travel Research

Tessa Horehled — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 17:17:29 -0000

No Couchsurfing props? It's an incredible resource.

As are local blogs which are easy to find by interest using a number of blog directories or bigger market-specific blogs like Gothamist, Not For Tourists, Metblogs, etc.

Dopplr also offers travel advice, FourSquare offers advice per location as suggested by friends, BlackBook iPhone app, AirportStatus for iPhone can be helpful when traveling a lot.

More: OffBeat Guides (integrated into Dopplr), Hitchsters, TripIt, etc

I'd argue Couchsurfing.com is an invaluable resource for travelers -- ride shares, travel tips, couchsurfing (duh), flight deals, info about specific airports, resources, cities, etc, finding people who can help show you around, facilitate travel, and so forth. ;) It was also the very first travel social network and has over one million users.

I'm testing out Twitter wordpress plugins which offer the ability to post updates to your blog automatically. This one (Alex King's) wasn't a complete 24 hours - wonder if it was because I just installed yesterday? I also opted to exclude replies from the aggregation.

I agree. This is stellar. The music industry should take note of examples like these as well. ;)

I <3 Couchsurfing! And am envious you're in Seattle. It's such a gorgeous city. I unfortunately haven't made it out that way since 2002. Need to add to the list! Have a blast!

Thanks Mark! Angel money has definitely crossed my mind. We will see... I've definitely seen enough pitches at this point to get things in order. ;)

Where in Atlanta is your sister?

My friend was able to go to the Apple store and explain what happened -- they replaced it at no cost.

Re: Drug Trafficking Rampant In Atlanta Suburbs – New US Hub?

Tessa Horehled — Thu, 07 May 2009 07:06:01 -0000

Interesting that it's mostly in the suburbs though no? I think the stereotype is that most of the drug activity is done in the rougher areas of Southwest Atlanta.
