The people part of the social media puzzle
June 24th, 2011
After a trip to Paris in 2000, I told my parents, “One day, I will live in France.” True to my word, I moved to the city of love in 2007 for eight months and then moved on to the Netherlands, where I worked until the summer of 2009. Sitting in an office in Amsterdam,

As someone who has been active on Twitter, I have always looked forward to Tuesday night’s #agchat conversations from the very first invitation. When the announcement was made last year that there would be an AgChat Foundation social media conference, I knew I wanted to go – but I had questions.

Who knows where the road may take you
June 17th, 2011
I didn’t apply for the first AgChat Foundation Agvocacy 2.0 Conference until the day before the application deadline. Sure, I had lots of friends through #agchat who were talking about it and I really wanted to go. However, I was pretty sure there was absolutely no way I could afford it, I wasn’t a farmer
