This year I am being more selective in my conference attendance. Almost every year in the past 5 years, I have purchase a Blogher ticket but I haven’t always gone. I have three core conferences in mind this year. This year, I don’t even know WHEN Blogher is. This one conference that I will not […]

March 14, 2013 by Leave a Comment
When I signed into my Google Reader account today, I got a popup announcement that Google Reader was retiring as of July 1, 2013. I’ve already lost Adsense for RSS from Google and will also be losing iGoogle. This is all setting me into a panic to think WHAT IS NEXT for Google to get […]

If you follow me on BargainBriana.com, you know that I have partnered with Savings.com to teach Savings Nation classes.

Over the past week or so since the Blogher conference, I’ve noticed I’ve been added to several mailing lists.

Let’s talk one particular conversation with a brand at the Expo Hall. I won’t name any names. If you were there, I’m sure you will know who I am talking about. I will give them a little benefit of the doubt as it was 15 minutes until the Expo Hall was shut down for the […]
