Traveling Twitter Design Firm
DriftingCreatives.com Interview
Martin & Gavin just graduated from Texas A&M University and are designing their way across the country. On the road for 4 months now, they are fully transitioned from recent graduates to full on traveling design firm.
It is a pretty great testament to the power of social media. Two strangers can travel across the country, city to city, and make a living building a new business. All through the connections they kick off through Twitter. I wish these guys luck as they finish up their trip and look forward to how they use their lessons from the road.

Speaking with Bank of America and LendingTree
I was lucky to join local Social Media professionals from Bank of America (Brian A. Wright) and LendingTree.com (Nicole Hall) last week for the local Interactive Marketing Association. It was great to hear the unique perspectives from these two financial players and the challenges they face.
Overall, I was impressed by how savvy many of the attendees were. It was a great mix of interactive pros from E-retail to NASCAR to Fortune 500.
David Wells not only caught the whole thing on video, but took out some of our key points (with Timestamps, wow). Oh, and he has an audio download. Check out the video below and go read David’s blog post for the extended content. The lighting was pretty poor, so excuse the shadowy table from which we speak.
“The panel explores how to determine if social networking is right for your business, which social media is right for your business, what to outsource and what to keep in-house, and how to know when your social media strategy is working.
Put on by the Charlotte Interactive Marketing Association“
Google Sidewiki Mailed Me Poetry
Google Sidewiki launched today. And they sent me a little poetry that fits pretty nicely with the goal of the project.
