NYC Now Provides Press Passes to Bloggers

New York City’s Rules for Press Credentials were just updated – online journalists and bloggers have been recognized as legitimate members of the media and can now request for press passes.

One iteration, by Kikin (a Firefox add-on), allows you to search Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, Google Reader, Wikipedia, YouTube, Bing etc, from within your [...]

Motorola BLUR's OCNN aka Why I Love My Job

In the week leading up to the Super Bowl, I spent a week in Miami working with one of our clients, Motorola, to activate the OCNN, or the Ocho Cinco News Network.
