Week 2: Twitter, blogging basics, and conversation web 2.0
This is a series of posts chronicling my path as a social media evangelist for Vibemetrix. What’s on my mind as I do a job that I love and my thoughts on the state of the industry. Twitter followings Last week I was pondering how to make the Vibemetrix account valuable to those of you that I’ve added to both my chelpixie and to the Vibemetrix Twitter account.

Kevin Kennedy-Spaien so rocks. Read More
Marketing and Brand – Freshbooks
Freshbooks has been a prime example that I point at when people ask me about brands who are using Twitter and social networking in remarkable ways. I checked out Freshbooks when I first started looking for a online time tracker and billing software. I was using Billable, but the way it tracks time wasn’t working for me or my business. Enter Freshbooks on Twitter and I check it out after a tweet from @freshbooks. At first I wasn’t... Read More
