A great opportunity for more visible networking . I roughly know about MakeItWork, but tell me a bit about where you spend your time day-to-day. A typical day starts with email, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Yammer checks/updates. Anything that's been particularly successful? Building relationships, partnering with social media experts on events (SBTwestival and 140 Conference Meetup), learning at events, building a following, testing any and all formats/venues, integrating social media into our radio show. I’ve recently had a chance to reconnect with Eric David Greenspan ( LinkedIn , Twitter ) He’s the CEO of Make It Work a high quality, personal, high touch technology service provider for homes and small businesses.

I spent my week applying the new skills I obtained from attending conferences, reading and engaging in Twitter activities. From TweetDeck to Yammer, WordPress to Twitter, Google Adwords to Yahoo Search, Facebook to LinkedIn, throw in a little AllTop, MyYahoo, Outlook, Powerpoint, Quicken (had to pay some bills)…my head is spinning. I literally have been switching from my Blackberry, to my iPhone, to my PC, back to the iPhone and on and on it goes. It’s been an interesting week to say the least.

Cogi = conference calls + (personal stenographer - sexy outfits) + typewritten notes
RoboDynamics = video conference + robots x Awesome!!1!! Yammer = progress reports + your boss + Twitter
Still trying to figure out whether Twiistup 5 will be worth going to? Yes, anyone who’s anyone in tech will be going — just check out some of the judges — but are you wondering whether the ten Showoffs spots will make it worth attending on Feb.

Twiistup 5 –the brainchild of Mike Macadaan–lets startups show off their products to the crowd in a very non-conference setting (this time, a private hangar at the Santa Monica airport).
Cogi , a service which helps you capture meetings and phone calls in text transcripts, scored the judge’s award (I was one of the judges); the other firms were Causecast , eHow , FixYa , GoGreenSolar , Meebo , RoboDynamics , TheScene , Totspot , Viewdle , and Yammer .
...Tags: In what was a remarkable turnout–given the horrible economy we’re in–there were more than a thousand people at last night’s Twiistup 5 event.

Last year, Dealmaker Media put together Startonomics , a great conference focusing on what really matters: how to define the metrics for your business, and where those numbers should fall to ensure you are on the right path. Now Dealmaker has brought this conference to UCLA, and the SoCal Tech Group is proud to be their marketing partner for this event. Build it and they will come, right? Everybody is going to love this, won’t they?

and David Sacks of Geni/Yammer , who were saying “maybe/no”. The issue, highlighted by Sacks’ announcement that he was moving Yammer to Silicon Valley, was the perception that Southern California firms don’t get the attention and lavish praises, particularly from the press/Silicon Valley blogs/etc., In any case, whether you want to argue the merits of either argument, I’d agree with what venture investor Brad Feld said earlier in the conference: Get over it . Last week, one of those never-ending topics of discussion came up at Twiistup on a panel about whether or not Southern California was a good place to put your startup.

Tweetdeck and Yammer are always running in the background. The next day was the 140 Conference at the Kodak Theater. If you’ve ever received an email from me, you’d know that I always sign my emails with “to the moon.” 8221; Borrowed from the Honeymooners, I’m shooting for the moon in my business venture.
