I was recently at the BIG #Milwaukee Tweetup and I picked up one of the coolest things I have seen in awhile, City Tins. What it is, is a tin with 22 coasters for different local restaurants and each one is worth $10 off. It also includes a spinner for those of us who can’t decide where to go we just spin the wheel and go where the arrow lands, genius. The best part its only $25 bucks. Check em out now at City Tins

I recently sat down with Bill Finn from Finn Digital to talk about a new tool they created call BoothTag, which allows you to “check in” with exhibitors at trade shows. Watch the video below to learn more… and be sure to try it out at the BizTech Expo this week to win an iPad.
Most of us turn to blogs, newspapers, magazines, trade publications, and more when we’re looking for the info we need. But just as often, we count on our colleagues and peers to point out the stuff we should read.
That’s why we’ve just made some incremental changes to how sharing works on LinkedIn. Here’s a video about how it works and a longer list of features and functionality around this new feature that you can start using today.
On a recent business trip to Atlanta I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Gary Unger. Gary and I were both featured success stories in the Linked Working book by Lewis Howes. This is how we originally connected and then when I found out I would be in Atlanta I asked Gary if he would have a few minutes to chat with me about his company and his new book “How to be a creative genius in 5 minutes or less” (I’ll be doing a book review shortly).

(MILWAUKEE, WI) Leave the red rubber ball on the playground. “This” FourSquare is for grown-ups.
Have you heard about foursquare.com and wondered what it is, how it works and why you should use it? To answer these questions and many others, MKELive’s Katie Felten will lead a panel discussion on FourSquare at the 2010 BizTech Conference and Expo (April 28 and 29).
In this important breakout session, attendees can learn how to leverage this new social media tool in order to see who is coming to your business, recognize your best customers, and encourage your advocates spread the word! Local experts, such as restaurateur Joe Sorge (aka, @ajbombers) and Alvin Vitancol, partner at Capitol Midwest (aka, @vitanga), will provide their practical insight on effectively using FourSquare and integrating this with other social media options. Sorge was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal for his success with social media, including FourSquare.
“Location-based social media is now the strongest trend in the industry,” said Felten. “FourSquare is not only designed to let you know and converse with a business’ advocates, it’s let’s you know where they are and where they’re coming from.”
The FourSquare session and panel discussion will be held on Wednesday, April 28th, Room E, from 1:45-2:30. For more information or to register for the BizTech Conference and Expo… Register here
So some of you may be wondering how I got started on LinkedIn..well Otis Collier had a lot to do with it, back in 2006 there weren’t alot of resources for LinkedIn 101’s but I found a powerpoint presentation that Otis did for the recruiting industry and implemented everything he said..And now 4 years later I had to opportunity to meet him in person on a recent business trip to Atlanta.
