BookCamp Toronto #bcto10
BookCamp Toronto. The reason why BookCamp Halifax came to be. Yes, I’m writing yet another entry about this unconference. My blog, my rules. I promise I’ll keep it short though. The great thing about the unconference model is that you get to hear from a wide range of people interested in a certain topic, not [...]
You know you’re doing social media wrong when…
…you become a trending topic on Twitter. For all the wrong reasons. And you’re not aware of it. I usually save my social media tips for other sites where I occasionally guest post but the smack-down that happened on Twitter throughout the course of the past day was simply so baffling to me, as someone with a degree [...]
PodCamp Halifax 2010
This weekend, I attended the second annual PodCamp in Halifax. Last year, I had missed the event because I was sipping on pastis at some café in the south of France. I know, it’s a rough life. For anyone who’s wondering, PodCamp is an “unconference” where social media and web enthusiasts from all across the province [...]

It’s pretty much a starter’s guide to owning and operating a Twitter account. So if you’re interested in getting started or if [...]

Live chat with The Webconomist on Haligonia
Below is a little bit of web history in the making. Now, I wouldn’t say I have a fear of public speaking (I am a PR gal after all), but where others in my graduating class have gone on to media relations I’ve hidden behind the safety of my computer screen doing the whole online [...]
Breaking up is hard to do OR how to lose a dream job and still carry on
First, I have to apologize for it being quiet on the blogging front this week. Some of you who follow me on Twitter or who know me in real life have already heard the sad news. As the title of this post indicates, my dream job and I broke up on Monday. After three years [...]
Building a social media army
Earlier this week, Ben and I returned to our alma mater after several years out in the “real world.” We were invited by a former professor to present a guest lecture on social media as it pertains to public relations. I developed a live case study based on a press release from the launch of [...]
