Deputy Director of Participation (and blogger) for Assignment Zero (from 3/07)--a pioneering crowdsourced journalism project. I've also been blog editor and social media manager for the We Media Miami blog and editor for the Corante Media Hub. Freelance writing sometimes, too Along with writing, I've been interacting with folks across various evolving forms of social media for over a decade.
You name it, I've tried it...at least once. Yes, I even have a MySpace profile.
I also keep two blogs--both with a different communication focus. My personal blog--started to break a serious case of writer's block-- consists of essays designed to establish communication with others on an intimate level. The Constant Observer, my "professional" blog (formerly known as Snarkaholic) is an attempt to establish communication with individuals who found analytical commentary, when set against the personal, to be a distraction--it has evolved into a citizen media-watch blog.
Both blogs have established rapport and community in their own unique ways and continue to be fabulous avenues for exploring various kinds of communication between myself and individuals I might not otherwise encounter.
