Abbie Fink | Sep 9, 2011
This question is being asked a lot this week as we are approaching the 10th anniversary of 9-11. Like many on the West Coast, I was still in bed. After hitting the snooze button a couple times, I heard the very somber voices of Tim and Willy describing what had happened in New York. Because […]

Abbie Fink | Mar 3, 2011
Scott Stratten was one of the first people I started following on Twitter. He signed up in April 2008; I got on in December 2008. One of the first posts I saw was a friendly reminder to engage with people on Twitter and to not just use it as a place to promote yourself. Then […]
