My homework assignment for this weekend: read this

1. How to: Plan and Promote events with social media via Mashable.com because I'm experiencing too much event planning FAIL! at work with colleagues who do not know how to promote their events. So frustrating!

2. More about Twitter and communication models,or "the status update" as "ambient model" and how that is changing the way we get news or updates.

Status updates explained from quub.com on Vimeo.
