Interactive Floor Plan from eBay Live!

Each year, the eBay Internal Communications team sets up an interactive floor map of the Solutions Center at eBay Live that employees, who are unable to attend the conference, can access. I wanted to see if I could take the interactive map and make it accessible to eBay Ink readers this year. Unfortunately, given the [...]

Back to it… with one last look at Chicago

And so my first eBay DevCon and eBay Live! came to a close on Saturday night. I managed to make it home to SF safe and sound last night (albeit with a bit of head cold - I’m typing this from my couch with a lot of tissues and hot water with lemon).

“Social Media Veteran”…

… Stop laughing.
In February, I was introduced in Fortune Small Business as a “social media veteran”, which brought chuckles to pretty much everyone I know, myself included. Sure, I have spent the majority of my career at companies specializing in social media but I can think of maybe two people that could claim the title [...]

My kind of town (for a week)…

Arrived safely in Chicago late this afternoon and went straight to the conference center for registration and staff orientation for eBay DevCon 2008.
I’m now sitting in the ballroom watching Max Mancini run-through his keynote presentation for tomorrow. The schedule is pretty packed for me over the next 7 days (eBay Live! kicking off here on [...]
