Tonight Allison, Eva, Dan and Marcia and I went to Bru’s Room in Boynton Beach for Wings and Pings. Wings and Pings (#wingsandpings) was a tweetup event that I planned with Vanessa and Juliet of Pokengirl.com. PokenGirl was one of my sponsors for the Ultimate IZEAFest Prize Pack and tonight I picked up the pokens for the prize winners. I also got to meet Vanessa and Juliet in person. We were also joined by Dina Riccobono of MarketLeverage. Each of us had some great swag to give away to the people who attended.
In case you missed my post about being Frontpaged by my local newspaper about Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs then here is the article, which you can also read here.
I’ve been seeing bloggers in the news lately and it looks very much like Traditional Media is listening to New Media and learning a thing or two.
Traditional Media is finally getting on board with New Media. The latest darling of Traditional Media is New Media star Twitter. Twitter is the subject of news broadcasts. Twitter is being used by everyone from Ellen to Projo.com to get the word out and interact with people. Being a user of twitter for a while now I find the whole Twitter love lately pretty funny. However the Twitter backlash is even funnier.
