Pinterest – Is your content worth sharing?
Author: Jen Donaldson | Date: March 22, 2012
I don’t know about you but I’ve been hearing a lot about Pinterest lately. Before writing this, (my very first blog post!) I didn’t know much about Pinterest, so I decided to take this opportunity to do some digging and discover what it is, who’s using it and what they’re using it for. I also considered what all this could mean for marketers.
The Social Media Pool
Author: Catherine Maloney-Hofer | Date: February 20, 2012
I recently had a great customer experience at an independent retailer in Halifax and wanted to share my thoughts as I like to encourage and support local businesses. I made my way to “like” them on facebook and found their page had less than 60 “friends” and the last post was months ago. So I wonder why have a facebook page at all?
What Google+ is really about (sort of..)
Author: Bessy Nikolaou | Date: July 14, 2011
It’s been just over two weeks since we’ve started playing around with Google+, and so far the general consensus has been +1. Some of our friends and family have asked “what is it?” “how is this different from Facebook? Twitter?” “why should I care?”. And frankly, we’ve had a hard time explaining it. Read More »
The Daily Deal Phenomenon
Author: Angie Reid | Date: February 22, 2011
I am going to admit to you right now that I am one of those people. A retail braggart. I am notorious for, upon being asked about anything I own, telling you where I got it, how much it’s worth and how much I actually paid for it. I know it’s annoying, and I sincerely apologize, but I just can’t help it. I have a nose for a great deal and when I find one, I want to shout it from the rooftops, and it seems that I’m not alone. So when I stumbled upon the daily deal phenomenon that’s taken the world by storm, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. Read More »
Podcamp Halifax 2011
Author: Bessy Nikolaou | Date: January 24, 2011
Another year another (successful) Podcamp. This year Time + Space participated as a leading sponsor, giving me the opportunity to work with Ryan Deschamps and Craig Moore (PodcampHFX founders), and a first-hand view of what it takes to pull off this type of event. Podcamp is run entirely by a staff of volunteers who share a passion for engaging with like-minded folks, all in an effort to create an environment of open collaboration, learning, networking, and hopefully a few new friends along the way.

5 Interactive Campaigns That Made Me Go Hmmm
Author: Bessy Nikolaou | Date: January 11, 2011
2010 was a year filled with a slew of innovative and interesting interactive campaigns and narrowing it down to my 5 faves was no easy feat. Some that made the cut were viral hits, while others I had to highlight simply for being entertaining, smart and incredibly engaging. And any reference to Star Wars is, of course, a given. So with that, I bring you what made me go hmmm in 2010… Read More »
Why I love the internet (or the people that power it)
Author: Bessy Nikolaou | Date: December 17, 2010
I have spent the last 2 weeks listening to Girl Talk’s new album (you can download it for free) – over and over again. Obsessing over the incredible mash-up of (372 to be exact) songs. Was that Bananarama meets Lady Gaga? Or Young MC meets Kylie Minogue? How do I know for sure? Enter @brahn who created an awesome visual breakdown of all samples used.
Boomers Are Doing It! Social That Is.
Author: Meg Vis | Date: December 15, 2010
Since 1946, Baby Boomers have been THE change agents, responsible for more innovation than any generation before or after them.
Yet largely because of their slower adoption of digital technologies, especially social media, they have been pushed aside by their benefactors in favour of the smaller and sexier segment of millennials.
But they are still the largest demographic, with the most disposable income. And now they are the fastest growing segment in social networking. Read More »
