Andre’s Blog

I’m going be giving a talk about blogging as a marketing tool at next year’s Massive Technology Show.

While “blogs” (short for “web logs”) are often associated with personal commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news, many businesses are learning how blogging can improve their bottom line.

Explore a new ways for your business to use blogging to improve marketing efforts and create better customer relationships.

More on the Massive site.

Massive is the largest technology of it’s kind in Canada with over 4000 attendees.  Lindsay Smith and the team do a great job, I’d recommend checking it out for sure.

My old buddy Bill is getting ready to launch Workspace, and is running a pretty cool contest for a free membership, all you have to is submit photos of the crazy places you work from. 

Here’s my entry;-)

More on Workspace:

WorkSpace is a freshly renovated Gastown loft providing a collective of small business and independent professionals with a facility that they wouldn’t be able to afford on their own.  Inspired by the trend of working in Café’s, the space is funky, professional and inexpensive.  Rather than asking our customers to sign a lease, they join the space as members.

Very cool biz idea, I really could’ve used this when we were starting out. And still might;-)
