Kyra and I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Women in Technology International (WITI) Social Media Conference this weekend in San Jose. There, I did a standing room only presentation on Creating Facebook Pages for business. My sincere thanks to the folk at WITI, especially WITI President, David Leighton and WITI CEO, Caroline Leighton for making this happen.

MarKyr Co-Founders Marjorie Kase and Kyra Reed had the pleasure of presenting their Roxy Theatre case study with Roxy owner, Nic Adler at UCLA’s Social Media Marketing class last week. The team focused on the Roxy’s reputation transformation – both online and off – due entirely to their Social Media efforts. We had a terrific Q&A session afterwards where members of the class asked several throught-provoking questions regarding blog SEO, tools such as Twitter and Lijit, and time management skills. Special thanks to instructors Beverly Macy and Karl Kaska for making this happen.
