48 Half Hours

Posted on June 24, 2011 Posted in 2011, Facebook, Marketing, NL, PR, technology .

If you didn’t hear, there was an really brilliant contest held on Facebook for 48 hours involving Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism and WestJet.

It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm both on the NL Tourism Facebook page as well as the excited posts I saw in my news feed of friends and family both local and abroad vying to win. Continue reading →

Someecards

Are you familiar with someecards? If not, make sure you have some free time before you visit their site. If you’re easily offended or lack a sense of humour, I recommend not clicking the link and finding something more appropriate to do like watching paint dry.

Every week I received a round up email from someecards and I’ll admit, I don’t always click on the message and it’s lost in the abyss that is my inbox.

But this morning, I opened that email and this is was one of the ecards featured and I can’t even tell you how much I laughed early this morning.

YARN MONSTER

Posted on June 20, 2011 Posted in 2011, Knitting, Ravelry .

I was logged into my account on Ravelry.com and in the forum for A Good Yarn, someone posted a link to this video (note: clicking on this link will open the video to a new screen as I couldn’t get the video to embed as an image here).

CCME 2011

Posted on May 9, 2011 Posted in 2011, CCME, iPad2, PR, Toronto .

On Friday I arrived in Toronto for the 2011 Canadian Conference on Medical Education. This is my first time at the annual conference and it should be an interesting experience.

Attendance usually consists of faculty, staff and students from medical schools across the country. There are various tracks and I’m attending the Resource Group on Institutional Advancement. Tomorrow I’m presenting a session titled Social Media and the New Normal: finding our way while protecting brand and reputation.

More on that and the conference in general tomorrow.

Welcome to the family

Well it’s happened. I have an iPad2 and guess what? I love it,

At this moment I’m in the lobby of the Sheraton in Toronto writing this using an app called Blogsy. So convenient and easy to use. Syncing up accounts like Flickr and YpuTube are painless. Very nice!

I want to read about…

Been there, done that
