Profile Information

About Me:
I grew up with "online" social networking, starting as early as the local dial-up BBS scene. From an early age I was exposed to chat rooms, instant messaging, Usenet newsgroups, etc. -- ultimately leading to the blog-esque user profiles and social interconnectivity of Facebook and MySpace we know today. It's an amazing opportunity to be turning this into part of my job.

I've started a blog here, with everything from my dietary habits to my experiences as a web marketer. It's partially a practice exercise for blogging elsewhere, but I try to keep it mildly relevant. Feel free to check it out!

Have You Seen Vivaty?

Let me preface this by again declaring my advocacy for the advancement of social networking...

This is Vivaty. Vivaty is not alone in endeavors to bring virtual depictions to large-scale social networking, but I'll use it to make a case because it's being taken much more seriously than its seemingly adolescent target might suggest. (remember how MySpace, Facebook started...)

Vivaty makes me worry for two reasons. On the one hand, it's trying to create a… Continue

The Incredible, Edible... Incentive?

At the end of last week, I received a nice follow-up paper mail from the folks at Blue Sky Factory -- an ESP out of Baltimore that was at Sherpa's Email Summit in Miami. I reluctantly opened it and skimmed the letter inside, having received a dozen or so similar letters in the past few weeks. I'm at least content with our current ESP, so I was looking for something to really jump out at me if I was to humor active consideration. The letter sounded nice… Continue

Wax On, Wax Off: The Rise of the Web Non-thority.

/wax_intellectual On

In my youth of yore, a friend and I coined (to our knowledge) the term "non-thority." It was our easy way to identify deceptive, uninformed entities posturing as subject matter experts. You may prefer a different (often less polite) term for these people or organizations, but this one has stuck with me for its somewhat esoteric roots and warm reminiscence of its use.

Non-thority is derived from the term "non-factor," a derogatory title used in some Internet circles (read:… Continue

*Pippin Voice*: Mushrooms!!!

I've only recently discovered that I enjoy mushrooms. No, not the hallucinogenic kind, so stop calling me. I can't, "hook you up." Anyways, I'd long ago cast out the entirety of the Fungi kingdom as being "inedible rubbage" -- a step down from the "inedible ruffiage" tag I associate with other healthy foods -- and I have scallops to blame for it.

Hibachi, or more accurately, teppanyaki is a wonderful thing, and I'm definitely an addict. Goin… Continue

Our website was created this way to allow buyers to do a home search with out a lot of strings attached. Many times when looking on Real Estate Websites Realtors try to gather information first. Well, by allowing the buyers to search, have actually turned into many new customers which then turns to them referring friends. They click request showing icon, and from there the lead is tracked.
