OK Crush It

The author of Crush It and host of WineLibrary.tv, Gary Vaynerchuck, was here in OKC last Friday for the OK Crush It book signing and event and it was a blast!

OK Crush It was a book signing and evening party with Gary Vaynerchuck and my work was involved in helping to get the event planned and off the ground and I’m happy to see that the event was such a huge success. Several other local business came together and helped as well and I got the chance to meet some really awesome people in the process.

I hit up the event with my brother Jeremy and girlfriend Jennifer, who was also involved with the event, and we got our Crush It books signed by Gary V. earlier that day and later hit up the evening event. We met some really cool people at the event and listened to Gary V. give a talk about crushing it then later he taped a WineLibrary.tv episode. After the evening event was over there was a Sponsor’s after party that we hit up and while were there Gary V. came over and sat down with us in our booth and chatted for awhile and I got to say Gary is one cool guy. It was awesome to meet him and everyone at the event and we had a great time.

Side note: Dan Gordon if you are reading this, you did a great job with this event. It would not have happened without you.

Answering the, “is social media a fad question.”

I’d seriously love to hear your thoughts about social media after seeing this video in the comments.

What is Social Media?

I came across this interesting keynote presentation and it pretty much answers the question that I’ve been asked by some people. What is social media? A lot of people use it and don’t know that they are but this keynote explains what it is and why it is a big deal. So if you were one of those that asked me or you are just curious, take a look.

What software, websites, devices are most useful to you?

Here are the ones that I wouldn’t want to be without.

Twitter.com – Keeps me in touch with friends and family. (What is it?)
Digg.com – Voted on news.
Digsby – Multi Protocol Instant Message Client with social networking apps (Twitter, Facebook, etc…)
iPhone – Syncs my podcast &  music and runs all sorts of useful apps.
Firefox – My choice in web broswer. Featured packed & extension support.
Flickr – Easily lets me share photos and photo blog.
uTorrent – Best torrent client out there for getting things from “spaces.”
