Open Style We’re hitting the road this summer

We have been hard at work redesigning our online project and web pages inline with our project’s finding with, QR codes, live and Mobile Streaming, and extending events as well as exploring social media, and other new media tools such as twitter.
Keep in mind that the businesses who volunteer are Hyper-local, grass roots, and can be best described as digital aliens. They are howevr experts at showing and selling and their product are high quality and creative. Whenever possible they employ local talent and production.
You can sample a preview of Gizelle- A new line by “Natacha Jospitre” as well as our test of audio and video on the homepage of our main site. www.Demarketplace.com. We are moving our workshops and exploring online sales venues.

Test Drive these Mobile Marketing Platforms
As I see It … It’s all theory till you put it through the most rigorous test, in real world conditions. Local Entrepreneurs are the toughest sell. These astute business men and women understand the bottom line. They judge product solely on quality consumer satisfaction and value… to their bottom line.
We are about to test drive two new platforms 2DSense and Unype. The first of many as we seek to introduce new and emerging technology to local entrepreneurs, while at the same time allowing app builders an opportunity to truly test their products.

There are so many new app out there that make presenting so much easier. i have maintaned a flickr pro account for a whle now , since there into of video hosting I have been meaning to test the video hosting with the blogging capabilities! for some reason this postvideo jumped out at me! We recently completed brooklyn fashion week through which we followed and highlighted the local design industry. Masquerade design is one of brooklyn thriving economic secrets, with the potential given proper support and marketig to channel economic income to many families!
Learn before you leap
Hold it before you run out and buy the latest computer , cell phone or other new gadget, take the time to think about your lifestyle, and what you really need! The question then becomes not what can I do for technology, But rather what can this do for me.
Start Taking Stock
Keep a diary of your actions for a week, note your activities. on the other hand go through your house and office, should a major disaster occur note what you can loose. Forget running out and buying a computer. I you have access to one great, if not go to your local library near you.Take your time , learn efroe you leap!
To Do
set up a free-mail account, www.yahoo.com amd www.google.coI prefer google’s gmail for it’s search function. Each however has a calendar which is often underused.TIPs
I forgot my Pass word
You will be asked for a username and password, remember to note them exactly as written.
Get a small address book ( the dollar store is great). and write down the sites you sign up for for important sensitive materia.l This may seem basic but to a beginner it is a dauntitng task.
