SxSWi: A Newbie’s Impressions

by: jacquichew March 23, 2010

I was going to recap each day of SxSWi here but was soon swept away by the sea of activities and choices that faced me everyday.  So I find myself almost a week later, only just recovering from the whirlwind that was SxSWi. There have been quite a few recaps written about the conference; some [...]

by: jacquichew March 13, 2010

The day started at 3:30 AM for me yesterday as there were a host of activities that had to take place before I got on the Atlanta #nerdbird at 8:24 AM in the morning. The flight was uneventful but we did have 20 or so Atlantans on board with me.

by: jacquichew May 1, 2008

Interesting article in Advertising Age recently about the mainstreaming of corporate blogging [60 of the Fortune 500 have corporate blog(s)] and the rise of the chief blogging officer title.
