This is going to be way different from any other blog post I’ve written here. You all know that sometimes I get personal, or raise issues that concern me – that’s not news.
But today, I was getting organized to add some content to Traffic Reality and came across a post by Geoff Livingston (author of Now is Gone and kind of a big deal in the social media and PR world. I interviewed him about his company being acquired right before the last time I got sick and I’m definitely uploading that this week.)
His thoughts completely derailed any attempts I was going to make to get my work done in a timely fashion. Instead, I’m going to take a moment to speak out on women, people of color & those with physical challenges being snubbed, dissed, overlooked or ignored in social media specifically and technology in general.
If that isn’t your cup of tea, it’s probably a good idea to stop reading here. But if you’ve got any feelings on those issues, consider this my attempt at continuing the dialogue Geoff started.
