We promised it last week, and here it is: The Social Expedition’s Holiday Wish Lists! We would say you’ve got to listen to find out what geeky items we’re dying to see under our trees, but we also wanted to get you some links, so… Ansley: Dots Gloves – for use with conductive touchscreens. Griffin [...] [...more]
It’s our yearly Show and Tell Breakfast! Every once in a while, we like to open up the floor to our Expeditioners to wax eloquent on any social subject that strikes their fancy! This time, we were treated to an array of tools in the “Web 2.5″ space (as one of our Expeditioners said in [...] [...more]
Alright, that may have been an obvious title for the podcast, given the guest. But a fascinating guest! Maggie Louie is the Online Media Specialist and Product Manager at the E. W. Scripps Company, which (amongst other things), is responsible for the awesome Inside Scoop daily deals, which can be seen everyday on the homepage [...] [...more]
Woo! Fresh blood at Twilight Camp! We were delighted to have some new-comers, and of course, always great to see some of our regulars.

Right now, www.ashbdesign.com points right to their very active Facebook profile, but this whimsical artist can also be found on Twitter at @ashbdesign, as [...] [...more]
First, some folks checked into Foursquare. Then, four Expeditioners with iPads made the rest of us green with tablet envy. Oh, they are so so pretty. Have you seen the Alice in Wonderland ebook they made for it? The pocket-watch swings when you rotate your screen! Wired Magazine created an interactive version for the iPad, [...] [...more]
On this week’s podcast, the usual suspects take their places in the line-up: Facebook has a new security center, Twitter wants you to click on some ads and Google needs a year to think this whole Fiber thing over. We also spend some time with Chris Chastain, the executive director of the Crittenden Regional Hospital [...] [...more]
We’re not typically ones for the bandwagon, but when it comes to iPad jokes, we just couldn’t help ourselves. We touch on its utilities, dip our toe in the iPod Touch v. iPad debate and skim through some of its features, sure. But mostly? Like the classic Seinfeld line, we’re left wondering about the marketing [...] [...more]
