She and Kevin (her boyfriend and a super cool dude) were one of the first people I met in the cool kids crowd from up north. Since that time, we’ve had the chance to run around at events like Blogworld and SXSW partying like the nerds we are. I come to know that if you want to pulse on what’s going on and where the coolest gathering spots are at any event, introduce yourself to Adurey and follow everything she puts out online.

Google Plus Will Own the Future of Business Collaboration

We’re now a few weeks in on Google Plus, and some good things are happening. For the most part, email addresses are open and new users are on boarding in droves each day. It seems that while the conversation is still mainly about Google Plus, we’re talking less about what it the social network is, and more about what we plan to do with it. We’re starting to experiment and hack the features. We’ve talked about how to blog on Google Plus and a framework to help us organize our Google Plus Circles.

They each have spent years and countless hours building big followings across the Interwebz. Their popularity has been generated as a result of their widely-read blogs, and their previous use of things like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and all the other networks that pre-dated Google’s win with this new social network. Cool kids like you and I always give our attention to them first, because we trust their influence as it’s benefited us in the past. Their popularity comes from years sharing free ideas, pages of content and personalized attention. And, that popularity is easily translated from one medium to another. But, make no mistake — Google Plus is still different But, I think Google Plus is different. From what I can see, G+’s purpose is not to be an epicenter of socialization or popularity contests. I don’t even see it as the marketing nirvanas we worship in Twitter and Facebook. Sorry Ford, but I think you [...]

Okay? – nate 3 Cool Kids You Should Stalk This Week #4: Detroit Edition I’ve come to learn that the Detroit crowd actually has stronger ties to Michigan State as opposed to the folks we Cbusrs don’t speak of from Ann Arbor. But I can absolutely vogue for all these kids and there level of coolness. For many different reasons, they deserve your best stalking efforts.
