Tag: Social Media Posts

I’m planning to hit Vancouver on Saturday sometime and spend a week or so in the city checking things out. As I mentioned before, I’ll be working during the days, most likely near Gastown. At lunch and in the evenings I’ll hopefully be bouncing around with my camera, taking photos or checking out what’s going on outside of most official venues. I made a few small changes to this site to facilitate me writing posts during the Olympics. The main page has been changed to show Olympic related posts, and I’ve added a Flickr gallery to the bottom which will ultimately start showing all the photos I’ll be taking. I also set up a 2010 Posterous account over a 2010.duanestorey.com, which I’ll use to post things on the fly from my iPhone mainly.

Ellen Degeneres recently signed up on Twitter and somehow managed to get 100,000 twitter followers in a relatively short amount of time. She’s fairly new to Twitter, and a few people think she might need a bit of help.

So I thought I’d give her a hand by blogging her video on YouTube. Good luck Laura!

If you’re on Twitter, and want to follow updates for WordCamp Whister, feel free to follow the official Twitter account here. We’re just waiting for confirmation from the venue, and then we’ll step on the gas and put the stick-shift into high gear.

I found this article on Twitter which is by an author who basically thinks the era of blogging is at an end. What do you think? HT, Kris.

I did something similar in Feburary of this year for Northern Voice, and I thought it would be a good idea to try again. Given that Barack Obama was one of the first presidential candidates to embrace social media, I thought I’d do a celebratory mosaic using a public photos posted to Flickr. The image is constructed using Flickr photos from everyday, normal people, the same people who helped Obama and his grass-roots campaign to secure the presidency. The search tags used on Flickr were “obama election victory” and “obama celebration”. The result is a mosiac using 1600 images. Enjoy.
