The Inside Skinny on Washington D.C.’s Top 100 Tech Titans

Posted in the Category of In the News and New New Things

The who’s who - and how - of D.C.’s Top 100 Techies is all the buzz in the local tech community: who’s on the list, who’s not, etc. I was delighted to be named a Tech Titan (#100 as it happens, as it’s alphabetical) but I’ve been curious… how did editor-at-large Garrett Graff choose 100 noteworthy D.C. techies for the May 2009 issue of Washingtonian? Graff’s street cred for compiling such a list is impressive, BTW.  He was Howard Dean’s

Remaking the Country and Ourselves: Service, Sacrifice… and Social Media

Posted in the Category of In the News

I am fortunate to live in DC so was able to walk to the Mall in the frigid cold yesterday and experience the excitement of the enormous crowd. Then I walked back home to warmth and to watch the swearing in on HDTV. President Obama struck an essential note in his Inaugural Address: it’s time for all of us to assume responsibility as we help remake America.

Obama Wins and We Make History

Posted in the Category of In the News

As a young child, I remember waking up on Wednesday Nov. 9, 1960, elated to learn that John F. Kennedy had been elected President. This is the most exciting and historic post-election day since then. Simon Hoggart, a British journalist and good friend, emailed this morning to say it more eloquently. I am at a loss for words.

"What a joy and what a relief! Of course it could go terribly wrong, but right now it is a fabulous day for America, for

Corporate Blogs on the Economic Crisis: “What Crisis??”

Posted in the Category of CEO Bloggers and Corporate Blogging and In the News

Reading some of the better known Big Brand blogs you'd never know the nation's economic ship is listing sharply and BTW it's going to affect all of us, globally. Tom Friedman reminds us in the New York Times that this is an unprecedented scary moment (Sept. 30, 2008). He ranks it with the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK's assassination and 9/11. OK, so things move slowly in corporate America. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that corporate blogs are
