Fundraising is also going well-- I have ...

Hearing constantly about the unreliability of Twitter, I wonder why people stay with it, and keep coming in droves.

Those of us in Boston's Social Media crowd were happy to hear of Scott Monty's new gig at Ford Motor Company, though we are saddened to hear that means leaving Boston to live near Detroit.

This glowstick is just a small part of a great event in Boston last night: a Gary Vaynerchuk book signing, organized in great part by my friend Dmitri Gunn.
