    Ignite Minneapolis Recap

    March 5th, 2010 - by Jeff Wagner

    The Ignite Minneapolis event last night at Bedlam Theatre was a blast. The speakers were great and the free beer tickets were pretty solid as well. I was able to take a few pictures of the peeps and some of the speakers during the night, try not to criticize because the photos were with my iphone. Click on any of the pics for a larger view.

    Julie Kucinski was awesome

    The entire event, like last year, was a crowd pleaser. There were lots of laughs and I have to say my favorite speaker on the night was Julie Kucinski giving us a lesson on why “Chicks are the New Dicks.” Hilarious.

    If I had one suggestion for Ignite Minneapolis is that they should go bigger on their venues. From the amount of people that were wanting tickets and all the others that were tuning in online there seems to be a high demand to attend. Even if you charged $5 a ticket you could easily sell out a venue that would hold 300-500. Just a thought.

    Well done Ignite!

    Instant Twitter conversation on your site with Tweetboard

    December 4th, 2009 - by Jeff Wagner

    I found this great application a couple of weeks ago that brings your Twitter feed right into your site, the tool is called Tweetboard. Not only does Tweetboard bring your twitter posts to your site but they display it in a great looking slide-out menu.

    I’ve recently added the app to my site, if you visit my home page you’ll notice the tab on the far left side labeled “Tweets.” Simply, click on the tab and the slide-out menu appears and lists all of your recent twitter posts.

    Anyone can join in on your twitter conversations and leave comments right on your site. You can view recent posts or view all. The board comes with a variety of options and styling controls so that you can customize it to fit the look and feel of your website. It’s just another great social media tool that allows you to communicate more directly to your client base and at the same time gives them the ability to comment back.

    You can get an invitation to use Tweetboard on your site by visiting their website at http://tweetboard.com. You will need a Twitter account for this application to work. If you’re not using Twitter yet you need to look into it and start using this amazing social media tool.
