Hawaii House Blog: Social Lessons
October 21, 2011 By
This was taken December 7, 2010. One day after my fortieth birthday, one day after Governor Abercrombie’s inauguration, and almost one month as an Oceanit employee.

A tasty social evolution
July 19, 2011 By
In 2007 when I purchased this domain my only goal was to create a personal brand. Since then, I’ve been learning, fine tuning, and tuning some more. If you’ve been with me from the beginning you’ve seen as many theme changes as you’ve seen hair color and do’s. I’ve also experimented with sub-domains and even [...]
Making a difference on The3Six5
June 14, 2011 By
Earlier this year, Daniel Honigman Co-Founder of The3Six5 invited me to participate in their experiment. In their words, “Every day for 365 days, a different person will write an entry about their experiences that day. The key is that each post somehow relates to what’s happening in the world that day and how it relates [...]
On Twitter, less is more
June 13, 2011 By
For more than a year I’ve used the repeat tweet process to drive traffic to Holy Kaw, my personal blog(s), Pono Life, clients, and any other causes that I supported. In fact, this methodology was very effective during the Hawaii 2010 elections. But, while the social media industry continues to evolve, so must its practitioners. [...]

Evangelizing the Hawaii Food & Wine Festival
May 18, 2011 By
Through the power of social media, I’ve been able to experience many, many things that I otherwise would not. One of those is meeting and working with world renown Chef Roy Yamaguchi. Besides his cuisine, one thing I love about Chef Roy is that he is fo’ real, in the true local sense. He’s a [...]

What are your social media values?
April 10, 2011 By
A few weeks ago I had a discussion with my boss about Oceanit’s social science and community building system, ALIVE. One of the goals in the first step of the process is to draft a social media policy. At the time of initial development, it seemed like a practical and logical goal. However, as we [...]
Social Media for Business Tweetup
April 9, 2011 By
Disclosure: Technology News Bytes comped me a ticket to the 2011 Hawaii Social Media Seminar that I then paid forward to a friend I thought would be interested in attending. A big part of building communities is heeding the call to help, especially when there is no personal or financial gain. About a week ago [...]
