September 8, 2008

I know my blogging about the Thin Air Summit, the New Media Conference in Colorado (Nov 7-9), has been a bit sparse here. In our Web2.0 and New Media discussions on the web one of the mantras that runs through them both is “try something beyond what you’ve done before.” With the Thin [...]

Memories of the Fourth

July 4, 2008
