		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to 2012, my friends! I&#8217;ve been taking some time to look back through nateriggs.com to set the direction for this year. One of my original objectives in writing here was always to help raise awareness for Columbus as an up and coming internet tech city, full of cool kids who buy into the friendly midwest mindset.  To kick off this year&#8217;s first cool kids post, I&#8217;m keeping it close to home and highlighting some of the locals who I think you need to stalk. Even if you are a local, you still might be able to use these posts to meet someone you&#8217;ve only heard about at coffee meetings and on Twitter. With that in mind, let&#8217;s have a look at this weeks cool kids, shall we? - @nateriggs 3 Cool Kids You Should Stalk This Week #10: Columbus Ohio Locals &#160; Keith Speers Twitter: @keithspeers Google Plus: Keith Speers Other: LinkedIn Stalkers Debrief: Keith&#8217;s one of the entrepreneurial crowd in Columbus and a good person to know. I&#8217;ve never really seen anyone take a city by storm like Keith did in 2011. With a impressive professional background and a naturally social personality, it seems that social media scene in Columbus became a little bit cooler when Keith started making his way around to coffee meetings and events. I&#8217;ve personally asked his advice on quite a bit over the last 8-12 months because I trust his judgement, strategic thinking and business experience. If you have a chance, check out his latest project and remember to ask him about his 5 pound pitbull. Heather Whaling Twitter: @prtini Blog: PRtini.com Other: LinkedIn Stalkers Debrief: I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve met anyone in Columbus (or other places for that matter) that doesn&#8217;t immediately like Heather.  As one of Metropruner&#8217;s Top 10 Entrepreneurs of 2011, Heather has grown her firm, Geben Communication, by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We can learn a lot from listening to Cory Montie. In this interview, he shares some secrets that helped him to do something that most people will debate to be impossible. A few weeks ago, Cory sold his Solo-preneur business to another Columbus-based community business called Dating Directions. He&#8217;ll now be taking a break from working for a while and enjoying the fruits of about three years of really intense work. Oh, and ladies, if you&#8217;re looking for a little direction in your own dating, Cory also holds rank as one of Columbus&#8217;s most eligible singles. Take advantage. I hear he&#8217;s got a bit more free time these days. I think that Cory proves that it is possible to build and sell a business of one, and I find his story incredibly inspiring. Here&#8217;s how he did it&#8230; nateriggsI advise mid-sized &#38; large organizations on how to adopt and use social media to market through organizational culture and better serve their clients.

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah and I are watching the skies for storks ready to drop dancing peanuts any day now. So last night, we made a trip to one of our local Babies R Us locations in order to cash in a few gift cards we&#8217;ev received from family and friends. Since I&#8217;m a internwebz geek, I&#8217;ve gotten used to checking into retail locations on apps like Foursquare, Yelp and Facebook Places. The chance of finding a hidden deal or discount is exciting enough to keep that habit in the top of my mind Finding Location-Based Treasures As I checked into the store on Foursquare, I was immediately rewarded with a digital coupon for $25 off of a $100 purchase of clothes, shoes or accessories. Win! And, being that we had lots of baby accessories to buy, we were delighted to dig up this little location-based treasure. To our disappointment, the deal was bunk and we never received our $25 discount as promised. First, the polite older lady at the checkout had never seen a customer bring in this type of deal to the counter, and frankly had absolutely no idea what Foursquare was. She did believe us though, as I was able to show her the date, address of the exact Babies R Us location we were standing in and the promise of the offer. What she couldn&#8217;t figure out was how to actually enter the deal into the cash register. And so, we waited for reinforcements&#8230; Consulting With the Store Manager After a few minutes we were greeted by the store manager. She curiously looked at the deal on my phone, puzzled in the same way the checkout clerk was. Once again, the manager had never seen this type of coupon before, but didn&#8217;t debate the legitimacy of the deal in that all the information was correct. I smiled, and explained to her [...]]]></description>
