An adventure with Formulists

by TheSourceress on August 11, 2010

I spotted an interesting blog post about twitter lists from a site called Formulists a few weeks ago, so I started following them on twitter.
Last week all their followers received an invite to do a little Alpha testing with the tool.

Tweetcamp – My first Unconference

by TheSourceress on June 29, 2009

So what is an unconference anyway?
