DISQUS

Yes, but you can still allow yourself to serve as a focal point for a community of people with related interests. That's the best use for a Facebook fan page, IMO.

I know exactly how you feel. In a couple of weeks, I'll end my terms on two not-for-profit boards I've sat on for *years*. As much as I enjoyed working with them, I am SO looking forward to having more time to write songs, write other stuff, work around the house, etc.

Sounds like my beloved Boulevard Smokestack Bourbon Barrel Quad ale without the ale. I'm sold!

Yeah, yeah. When am I getting more Bourbon Barrel Quad? That's all I want to know.

I hated to miss it 'cause I knew the presentations were going to be fantastic. Will there be videos posted?

So you're saying that Weird Al's "It's All About the Pentiums" video spawned a whole genre? How very strange. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky-JTAPhmUo

I believe I will come out tonight! I've been intrigued by the whole thing since you posted about it the first time around.

I'd go with #1, #3 or #5.

Every industry has its own rock stars who are unknown to the general public. My dad was (is?) in that category in his field, so it always amused me to see how awed and excited some people would get when they met him, even though by any standard definition of fame he's "just some guy."

As Sarah pointed out, this is a helpful post for people who find social media conferences intimidating.

You'll have to let us know how you like it. I'm very tempted to buy one.

I'm viewing this year's NaBloPoMo as the chance to kick-start my posting again. I've really slacked off since Twitter entered the picture for me and I want to see if I can train myself back to 5 posts per week.

You Missouri folks have cooler stickers than we Kansans get.

I'm linking to my voting post from this morning. You'll notice I was a little giddy when I wrote it.

Woohoo! I'll see you there.

After having taken your challenge to listen to the whole song, I'm not sure how it could possibly have stuck with you for more than a millisecond after it ended. Of course, I say that now. We'll see how I feel when it's haunting my dreams. ;)

I'll definitely be at the next one. You may want to consider a morning other than Friday, which conflicts with the weekly advertising/marketing bloggers Coffee Morning. Or perhaps you can just invite them!

I'll be interested to see what solution you end up with. We use Google Calendar with separate categories for each person's individual schedule, a category for shared activities, one for our band practices and band member availability, and a fifth for gigs. It would be very useful to have it more portable.

I like having a blog as my home base for all my other social media activities. I may cut back on posting (and, in fact, I already have), but I don't see myself discontinuing it. I like having a long-form medium for photos and/or stories.

Had a great time. Glad everyone could come!

Here's hoping it's just a sinus infection (although those are nothing to take lightly either). Hope you're better soon.

Hi, I'm Celeste. I have two blogs: http://kansascitykitty.blogspot.com/ and http://averagejane.blogs.com

On Twitter, I'm http://twitter.com/average_jane

It sounds like they hired a snotty 15-year-old girl to write their sign.

I'm so there! I'm even wearing an "I'm with the band" t-shirt. The Das Cöbra marketing blitz has been highly impressive, I must say.

I had a friend reporting via Twitter throughout her labor and the birth of her child earlier this week. It was very interesting!

You should post photos. That sounds really cool!

What a tragic loss! ;)
