Today’s email of the day came from a freelance reporter for the Boston Herald who emailed me via Exploit Boston! asking if we pay journalists for stories. I’m not sure if I should be flattered or amused. Or perhaps both? :)
From the monthly archives:

Recruitment!
One of my personal resolutions for 2005 is to keep negative and personal stuff off of sooz.com for the most part. It looks like last week was a banner week for not following this plan. (Afterall, I’ve got a Live Journal account for the personal blather.) And of course the irony is that today I’ve been sending out emails to a few New England bloggers who write about arts/entertainment/media related topics to try to entice them to join the New England Arts, Entertainment and Media mini-network I’m curating at Blogads. Hopefully the Blogads mini-network concept will evolve. It’d be nice if curators received some sort of incentive for the legwork of recruitment, etc.

Worcester = Collaboration Friendly Town?
It looks like a friend of Pete and Duncan’s might be conspiring with me to cover the upcoming “Signal/Noise 2k5″ conference at Harvard for Exploit Boston!. What’s interesting about this is that all three of these humans are from the Worcester area. I joked with Duncan that maybe I should just move to Worcester. After eleven years in Boston I’ve only found one person to consistently collaborate with on projects.
What’s up Boston? I don’t really want to move to Worcester! ;)

Press Pass for Harvard’s “Signal/Noise 2k5″ Conference
I’ve got an extra press pass for Harvard’s upcoming “Signal/Noise 2k5: creative revolution?” conference. If you’d like to use it compliments of my Exploit Boston! event calendar, let me know. Someone I had in mind will be sitting on a tropical island that day so it’s up for grabs to anyone who can help do a couple short audio interviews for a podcast and/or write up a few words and/or take some photos. Let me know if you’d like to conspire. The content will be posted at exploitboston.com but contributors maintain ownership of their own content and can post it immediately to their own blogs, ourmedia.org, etc. The only “requirement” is there’s a link back to the archived page at Exploit Boston!. The speakers page lists people we’ll be talking to at some point during the conference or shortly afterwards. Good times!

Exciting News: Susan Kaup Events Acquires WhizSpark
THIS WAS AN APRIL FOOL’S DAY JOKE. It’s not real news. ;)
—–
Big news! I’ve purchased WhizSpark, the premier event marketing platform and DIY event planning tools vendor. For several months I’ve been working closely with Pete Caputa, President of WhizSpark, offering feedback, helping introduce him to potential clients and bugging him on IM. Now that WhizSpark has access to my resources, we will see a lot of progress with the design and layout possibilities for WhizSpark’s event site templates. It’s an exciting time on the web for the event industry.
