Watch What You Say Offline As Well As OnlineFebruary 5

Today, I posted about an important lesson I learned on the difference between connecting and engaging online and offline. It’s a good read so be sure to check it out. I’d like to talk to you now not about a lesson I learned, but one I’d like to share with conference organizers and people in general. What you say offline, will get you in just as much trouble as the things you say online. Allow me to explain.

Harry Connick Jr. Is A Dick

@LizaWasHere: @Cecilyk Remember his opening line? HCJr thought all the women bloggers would have short hair and be wearing suspenders. #blissdom

At the Fuze club here in the Opryland Hotel, Harry Connick Jr. performed for the ladies of Blissdom last night. Now, for future references I have no idea who the hell this guy is. Never heard of him before Blissdom and I was looking forward to hearing his music. After his first set, I thought I’d stick around until Harry made the stupidest comment ever to the women of the audience.

To Homophobes: Stay Home

@LizaWasHere: Harry Connick Jr supports strong women as long as they are not butch. So disappointing.

Who Are You? The Truth About Online FriendsFebruary 5

For the past 2 days I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the Blissdom Conference in Nashville, TN. Alli Worthington and Barbara Jones brought me out here to speak with some wonderful women about technology, blogging, and social media. However, what I found and shared with these women was an experience that started with a connection, but ended with something deeper that you should be reaching for in your online connections.

Disclosure: I hate disclosures and I’m very thankful that the ladies of Blissdom paid for my travel and housing. Sorry, if you feel some sort of way about it. I’m not a millionaire yet.

Starting With A Connection

Technology allows us to make these wonderful connections with people. I’ve been meeting some of those connections in person like Liz Strauss, Jenn Fowler, Lucretia Pruitt, Kelby Carr and Jessica Smith. Wonderful right? The thing about f

Outside: Amazing iPhone Weather App For TravelersFebruary 2

How often do you check the native weather app for the iPhone? Probably not very often. It just leaves you wanting a little more. The features of the native weather app are very basic. The UI is no better considering the capabilities of the iPhone. Now there’s an iPhone weather app for travelers that’s a little more enthusiastic about its job: Outside.
  
         

Outside: Animated Weather

Outside is an amazing designed iPhone weather app for travelers. It brings back memories of the times you looked outside your window to see what the day would be like. Outside displays smooth animations to compliment the weather results. It gives you information about:

and more of course.
