Bay Area Veteran on the Benefits of Social Networking

Todd Earwood — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 12:00:10 +0000

This is part two of my interview with Robin Wolaner. We discuss the benefits she’s seen of social networking for both her startup and personally. Specifically, she references examples of LinkedIn and even MySpace.

If you’re catching up, be sure to catch the first part of our talk, then head over to LinkedIn and add me as your contact. It’s the best way to keep track of my ventures and network.

Bay Area Videos

After editing seven hours of videos (actually still editing), I’ll be uploading one or more videos each day from my Bay Area Visit. I’m not sure of the order (some topical, some by interviewee), but I promise to keep them coming. So grab my feed, to avoid coming back to this site three times a day to see cool videos! As a recap, see all the great people I interviewed and their backgrounds.

As soon as Revver has my first video ready, I’ll post the link.

Day 1 Roundup: Bay Area Visit

Todd Earwood — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 05:20:09 +0000

My first day of this Bay Area was exhausting and stimulating at the same time. I’ve got to give props to my videographer, Dustin DeVoy. The guy has great skills and worked hard. For a guy who’s not into business, he acted engaged the whole day. He was smart to suggest renting a Zipcar which was extremely helpful.

I met some great people and have four hours of video to show for it. It will take me awhile to edit the clips, so in the mean time… watch twitter for a real-time transcript and my flickr pics of where I’ve been. Great day with only one regret… didn’t get to chat long with Noah. Gotta hook up with him later.
