Hi Natasha,
I was at the ocri office today and I am the one looking for help with blogging and linking our website to the blog.

For Bando Promotions we are going to create a new page and use wordpress as you suggested. I will be looking into that tomorrow with our webmaster. Here is our bando site for your reference ag...ain. www.bandopromotions.com

However, for our Pure Iron Athletics line we need to know if that is the same route we should be taking. Here is the site www.pureironathletics.com We want to add a blog mainly for a source for our customers that dont have facebook or twitter and want to share their thoughts and opinions online. This will benefit us as a brand for marketing our products better.

You also said a good idea for us was to use facebooks ADS and I was hoping to get some more information on that from you.

Thanks so much for all you help and information today, this presentation was very beneficial for all the mediums that I have been looking into.

As part of the GTEC 2009 workshop program, the team from CornerPortal and Virtual EyeSee will be hosting a conversation on a hyper-local social media platform we call: Social Signage™

We will explore the concept: What are your visitors doing now?

This concept has been developed for museums and galleries to drive new tra...ffic to their buildings and exhibits and to create another mechanism for these institutions to connect with their community.
Social-Signage™ is a mash-up of real-time social media methods and digital signage, developed to encourage “in venue participation and engagement".
Social Signage™ enables visitors to interact and share their comments during their visit. In doing so they will contribute to a social media stream that others can discover via the Web 2.0 universe and become curious about the environment that stimulated those responses: your institution and exhibits!

We believe we can help make our museums and galleries a dynamic and social destination for people to meet, socialize, and shape their world view. Come join us in the conversation!
