Best of II, February 2010
We started the beginning of February with two new site features: the events calendar and people directory. We ended the month with the introduction of our online multimedia store, where we have pulled relevant products from Borders, Amazon, Adobe, B&H Photo Video, and more into our store for your convenience. I’m already excited for what March has in store. Thanks for supporting us, and please continue spreading the word about II to your friends and colleagues!
Introducing II’s online multimedia store
We have lots to be excited about here at II. Advertisers are approaching us about potential sponsorships, talented individuals are inquiring about contributing content, and our traffic keeps on growing. But we’ll get to all of that later. Today we added yet another component to our site with the introduction of our online store, where we have hand-selected 40 multimedia books, software, and equipment that may be of interest to you. Please support II by browsing the content in our store, and possibly picking up a new product or two! I received four of the books in our store for Christmas, and I couldn’t be happier with them. As always, please let us know if you think we should add anything in particular to our store. We are here to help you so please reach out to us!
Announcing two new features: event calendar and people directory
Andrea and I have been busy behind-the-scenes preparing some extra features on the site that will hopefully be useful to many of you. The first is an events calendar, which currently has more than 100 competition deadlines, workshop, training and conference dates, and informal meet-ups happening in 2010. We also recently launched a directory that will aggregate people’s names, professional titles, and portfolio and social media sites. Hopefully this will become the go-to spot to find talented individuals in our field.
Best of II, January 2010
Thanks to everyone for a great month. It was the first time that we saw visitors from every state in the U.S. We also expanded into 15 new countries, for a total of 118. Our Argentinian visitors stayed the longest, and those from Spain read the most. We love seeing the continual growth, so welcome everyone and please feel free to introduce yourselves!
Boyer submits 2010 video application for Nicholas Kristof’s “Win a Trip” contest
If you are wondering why II has been a little quiet lately, it is because I have been spending all of my free time completing my 2010 application for the “Win a Trip” contest with New York Times’ reporter Nicholas Kristof. I was a top-10 finalist last year, so I felt that I had to give it a second try. My first video was full of music, panning images, and content showing my humanitarian background. Thus, this year I decided to try something different and for my second video I took viewers on a mini tour of UNC to show my academic background.
Best of Innovative Interactivity, 2009
II had an exceptional year thanks to all of its loyal followers. Every time you comment, bookmark, retweet, or otherwise promote a post, it makes my heart a little happier. So thanks for making me a happy girl! The major highlight from 2009 was welcoming Andrea Ballocchi as Spanish Editor, who works hard behind the scenes translating each and every post and comment by hand so our Hispanic audience can feel more welcome. The major downside from 2009 was accidentally overwriting my database and frantically reaching out to my tech gurus to revive II. Alas, we are steadily growing and covering a wider variety of multimedia and for that I am thankful.
II founder Tracy Boyer to join UNC’s 2012 MBA class
You may have already seen my ecstatic tweets and Facebook updates, but I wanted to officially let everyone know that I was accepted into UNC’s prestigious MBA program. Continually ranked as one of the top 20 business schools in the nation, I will have the opportunity to craft a future business strategy for multimedia from top leaders in the field. I will finish my current master’s program a semester early, and join the 2010 entering class of business students next fall at Kenan-Flagler. In three years, and if all goes as planned, I will receive the first MSIS/MBA dual master’s degree given from Carolina.
Best of Innovative Interactivity, November 2009
Thanks for a great month everyone. Make sure to fan our new Facebook page to get continual updates on job openings, multimedia events, and other interesting links we come across. Our new series, Innovative Individuals, has been a great addition to the blog as we continually receive nominations of deserving professionals. Keep them coming and please continue to spread the word about II!
Join us on our new Facebook page!
My Spanish editor Andrea has been working hard providing II content in Spanish for our growing Hispanic community. Now, I am thrilled to announce that she also unofficially took on the role of social media editor and created an invaluable resource for II readers on Facebook. A little less than a year ago, I created a group on Facebook. However, due to limitations on the site, there was no way to easily aggregate my multiple feeds, nor update you with new content on the group’s page. By moving to a page, we now have the ability to quickly alert you of job opportunities, training sessions, latest blog posts and tweets, and much more.
Best of Innovative Interactivity, October 2009
I am thrilled to announce that October was the best month yet for II. Two years after this blog launched, we are now delivering bilingual content to more than 1,000 people each and every day (via site visits, RSS readers, and email subscriptions). Thanks to everyone who spends a little of your day with us, and please continue to spread the word about II!
