Then suddenly we looked at our watches and it was May! No idea how that happened, but we definitely owe y’all these GREAT interviews Dave recorded while he was at South by Southwest in March.

It’s a super simple way to host a live podcast show that people can call into and participate in! As many of you know, LaunchMemphis held [...] [...more]
Chris Brogan made a visit to Memphis this week and gave a presentation for a group of social media enthusiasts at the Peabody Hotel this morning. But while he was speaking, a different kind of meeting of the minds was happening on Twitter as the #broganmemphis hashtag tweets were overtaken by #fakebrogan, a coterie of [...] [...more]
We’re in a Facebook frenzy this week, so brace yourself. First, Dave tells us about his friend Mari (@MariSmith) who recently discovered that her Facebook privacy settings were causing her some problems. She sent out a tweet about the situation, which involved some trolls she’d blocked from her personal profile making comments on a Fan [...] [...more]
If you were anywhere near the East Memphis Marriot on Friday, you probably felt it.
