In the nick of time
Posted by: | Comments
I have only been back in town for a about a week, but long enough to slip under the wire for some sweet new Philly honors.
Thanks to Philly Mag‘s Philly Post – and the Technically Philly team - I found myself in the pack between a Miss Pennsylvania and an Eagles tight end today, all named among Philadelphia’s 10 Most Influential Twitter users.
Next, now that I am beginning to settle back into Center City life, I think it might be time to return to a little more blogging as well, perhaps even when I’m not blowing my own horn. Meanwhile, I have a few more plans in the works, and I am still in pursuit of some others, but hope to have some announcements soon.
Thanks again and congratulations to my fellow honorees.

No Pulitzer Prize has ever gone to a more courageous, deserving, hard-working or dedicated duo than Barbara Laker and Wendy Ruderman of the Philadelphia Daily News, who took Investigative Reporting honors yesterday for their “Tainted Justice” report.
Ushahidi: Live crisis mapping
Posted by: | CommentsWhat is Ushahidi? from Ushahidi on Vimeo.
I caught the buzz around Ushahidi at SXSW last week, and in the New York Times, but had no clue to their reach until I spent some time at their site just now. http://www.ushahidi.com/
Could this be a clue to the future of news reporting as well? I will be keeping an eye on this.
