After attending Ignite Boulder 2 and Ignite Boulder 3, I had submitted a topic that was accepted for presentation: “Confessions of a NiteRide Driver” (name altered just slightly to protect the innocent). By the end of the voting, I’d made it to 3rd place. All this talk about wanting to present and thinking I could present would finally be challenged — could I present in front of almost two hundred people?

I’m really excited about this because I’ve been working for the South Africa Project for something like a month now and have really only used Twitter, Facebook, and to a degree worked on the MySpace and Flickr pages. This has been an opportunity for me to really write.

Ignite is a series of presentations in which the slides move every 15 seconds, and the presenter has only so many slides available — it makes for a crazy, fast-paced evening of technology, humor, and all-around fun. This was my second Ignite.

I was very surprised and genuinely grateful to receive an invitation — a scholarship — from Doyle Albee at Metzger Associates to attend Chicks Who Click.

There are some great events that go on here in Boulder concerning various aspects of social media. I’ll be going to Ignite Boulder this week, and hopefully someday I’ll participate in Startup Weekend.

But an event coming up in January promises to be one for the ladies: Chicks Who Click.

I like short-form a little better than long-form anymore when it comes to Internet distribution of information.
