The story was broken this evening on CNNMoney that Facebook had purchased Gowalla, I actually got a heads up this morning that this might be going down soon. I’m pretty mixed on this. It’s no great secret that I was a huge Gowalla fan in the early days of location based services and geosocial but […]
Social Media Ministry Management Tips
I recently was asked to assist with the management of social media for one of the fastest growing churches in the United States. I am still in the discovery process of what all social media strategies and presences they have in place right now but it hasn’t taken me long to figure out that they […]
Exciting Enhancements for Gowalla
It’s not a big secret that I am a Gowalla fan-boy, have been for a long time now. I see the value of geosocial as an industry insider and a business owner, companies like Gowalla and Foursquare have been leading this charge along with Facebook, who recently announced they were dropping their emphasis on Places, […]
Black Friday Foursquare Checkins
I ran across this article yesterday on Mashable and I thought it was pretty interesting. These graphics represent the percentage of check-ins on Foursquare that each of the major retailers saw on Black Friday. Granted this is only Foursquare, and Gowalla, Brightkite, nor any of the other geo-social apps are represented, but I think it’s […]

Please keep in mind that this technology is still in it’s very infancy so a lot […]

Arlton Lowry did an excellent job putting this conference together in such a short period of time and the University of Central Arkansas was an awesome venue! The turnout was awesome, for my session on GeoSocial my wife counted 40 people, and I think there were […]
EP:012 – The Cotton Club Podcast
Well I think we figured out in this episode of The Cotton Club Podcast exactly how important a reliable internet connection is to producing a show like this. My guests Keith Crawford, Brant Collins, Robert Blake, Craig McCoy, Arlton Lowry, and Steven Trotter were all gracious despite the fact we were disconnected 4 times thanks […]
Let’s Discuss Social Media Taboo
Pleth, we have clients reach out to us on an almost daily basis for social media consulting and it’s something that I think we, as an industry, pretty much do right w/ the exception of a few bad apples and of course some companies that try to do it themselves internally. I am not for […]
EP:008 – The Cotton Club Podcast
This weeks show was sort of an experimentation in that we had four guests on at once via Skype as opposed to just Keith and I, I think the end result was pretty awesome, we only had one glitch in the middle of the show and it was minor. This week my guests for The […]
