2010 - First book for beginners to cover multiple social networks.

“The social media group at Grace Institute is having a ball using your book. The group comprises women who are updating their skills to re-enter the workplace, and we're all struggling to master the new (to us anyway) electronic communications environment. You explain the why and how in a way that we can understand and implement. I'm recommending your book to all my friends and colleagues.”




This is the topic of my dissertation, basically. Waiting on functionality in software to improve before finishing book.

Appeared on TechTV several times, to discuss topics such as DVD authoring, a video production technique called Blue Screen, and Flash. TechTV was kind of like MTV meets tech, and later became G4, a Comcast channel focusing exclusively on videogaming. I had the pleasure of a studio tech forgetting to plug in a DVD player during set changeovers, resulting in a faux pas in front of a live international audience, har har. But Leo La Porte is a smooth operator, and we came out of it ok.
