We’ve got (Memphis) spirit, yes we do

by lunaweb on February 3, 2010

A few LunaWebbers will be on hand for the kick-off of the Spirit of Memphis campaign this week, happening Friday at the Marriott at American Way and Perkins from 1 to 3 p.m. Originally scheduled for last week, the event had to be postponed because of the winter storm.

Head here to RSVP and we hope to see you there — we’ll be taking photos and talking with attendees and blogging about it all for The Social Expedition, so be sure to stay tuned for more.

Here’s an excerpt from the Expedition blog:

The idea of the campaign is to inspire Memphians to take ownership of the city and be proud ambassadors of everything Memphis has to offer. Friday’s pep rally is only the beginning — events will be happening all over the city in April during three themed days of celebration. Thursday, April 8 will be favorite Memphis music; Friday, April 9 will be favorite Memphis food; and Saturday, April 10 will be what you love about Memphis. On those days, Memphians will be encouraged to create their own brand of “pep rally,” whether it’s a potluck lunch at work, a Memphis music swap or simply organizing contributions to a local charity.

Between now and then, more details will be available about specific events. Spirit of Memphis will be hosting several throughout the city on the final day of the April celebration. You can keep up with the plans as they develop by following @SpiritofMemphis on Twitter or checking in regularly at SpiritOfMemphis.org.

Dave to speak to the Expedition on social tools for the enterprise

by lunaweb on February 1, 2010

Our own Dave Barger will be speaking at this month’s Social Expedition breakfast on what’s become a hot topic for the Expeditionaries of late: social tools in the enterprise. After last month’s core conversation break-out session on enterprise social technologies it seemed to Dave that of all the ways we’re using social, within the business was one avenue that we hadn’t explored enough, and people were definitely excited to learn more.

So join us to get your fill of enterprise-related social tools! Somehow it’s already February and the breakfast is this Wednesday, Feb. 3, at the University of Memphis Holiday Inn from 7:30 til 9:30 a.m. You can RSVP through Meet-Up.

Google’s real-time search could turn up the noise on social sites

December 10, 2009

This week Google began rolling out its latest brainchild: real-time search. How cool! I can see Twitter updates about an interstate traffic accident and Facebook posts about ski conditions on a mountain! At least that’s what their tutorial video tells me.
And sure, there are plenty of benefits to real-time search. It’s got lots of sparkle [...]

Setting “Ad Preferences” on Google

October 28, 2009

A special type of Google ad is the “interest based” ad. You are able to set your preferences to guide which types of interest based ads are displayed to you.
Watch this video, then visit google.com/ads/preferences to set your ad preferences.

If you think interest based ads is kind-of creepy, we’d love your comments.
Thanks for stopping [...]
