Facebook, the long road to loyalty and soon…shopping

Two years ago, I hated Facebook. It seemed like everyone I knew LOVED it, why? I hated feeling that my relationships were hanging on by the thread of a post. I hated the lack of intimacy. I hated having another “channel” I had to keep up with. Hated “putting my self out there”. Truth be told, those things still bother me. But Facebook is winning me over. …continue reading “Facebook, the long road to loyalty and soon…shopping” ›

If We Ran the World

“You are what you do”…a wonderful, thought provoking and totally intimidating truth. Now suppress regrets and think of it this way – “you are what you do – from this day forward”…then we can move on with this blog effectively…

Answer the question – “If you ran the world, what would you do?”

Walk yourself through an action plan and then you may find yourself asking the inevitable – how do I pay for this?

Marketing veteran Cindy Gallop and software developer Wendell Davis’ take you a long way to answer with the creation of If We Ran the World  http://ifwerantheworld.com/.

Described as a crowd sourcing project to better the world, If We Ran the World, has the ability to match corporations and causes. After years crafting Sponsorship packages “the old fashioned way” – well this makes me really really wish I’d thought of it first! …continue reading “If We Ran the World” ›

Video Chat is Where It’s At

Skype is all the hype

OoVoo’s picking up streams

Dynamic Webcasting transforms events

WooMe makes dating a breeze

A Cisco research report that came out last summer estimated “video communications will increase ten fold from 2008-2013. And so far, their predictions are real – which has Marketers brushing up on the ‘humanizing’ side of their brands. While the implications for advertising are immense, to me, the more interesting story is how new video technologies are changing market research. …continue reading “Video Chat is Where It’s At” ›

bollywood goes bubbly

One of social media’s newest apps is called Bubbly, rolling out in India, Japan and Brazil and boasting about 100 million users. Gaining around 500,000 users in 4 weeks after some of India’s biggest Bollywood stars began using it, this service is said to work like Twitter, except users send audio messages instead of texts.

One of the arguments of whether or not this will be successful is if people find it easier to text or to listen. There are comments in the link supporting both sides, but my first reaction after reading the article was not that I’d prefer to text or talk, but how in the world I’d keep up with yet another social network, should Bubbly make its way to the U.S.! Keeping up with the main 3 (blogging, Twitter, Facebook) that most companies participate in takes enough time. Add to that that Bubbly requires the user to pay to listen to the sent audio message, and I don’t see it being a successful long term media channel, but a short fad that people may try a few times.

TPN Gallery Walls hosts the neighborhood

Full hallway at TPN Gallery Walls reception

TPN’s spring artist reception had its largest turnout  in its ten year history this week. Featuring the work of five local, diverse artists, the hallways were full and the art was selling. The art included the work of Jeremy Mangan, Renate Ruby, Lee Berry, Tia Matthies and Kiki MacInnis.

The TPN Gallery Walls reception is a community event, open to the public, and gives us a chance to show our “softer” side and give back to the neighborhood. Solid Ground, a local charity, was on hand as well to collect donations of non-perishable items or monetary contributions. www.solid-ground.org

We’d love for you to join us next time! Email Megan West at meganma {at} tpnevents(.)com to be added to our mailing list.
