Share and enjoy in the Brag Basket

brag basketEach Friday, I open the brag basket as a fun place to give someone a pat on the back, brag, or promote yourself and your projects.

Last week, Doug at Mitchgroup bragged on a client, Marco announced Factoring Articles, Paul proudly finished a page at TheSeedCompany.org, Sandra of Guiding Vision complimented my presentation, I bragged on Mom, and Todd of The Broad Brush and Vicky of Remarkable Parents stopped by to cheer.

Will you put something in the Brag Basket this week? You can brag on a friend, your own project, yourself, others, anything! You don't need special permission. Just leave a comment right here. There's no deadline, so you can brag anytime during the weekend, and I'll open a fresh Brag Basket each Friday.

  6. Hi Becky,

    Two goodies....

    1) Fellow Austinite Aruni Gunasegaram learned that her panel Building a Web Business After Hours was accepted for South by Southwest Interactive in March 2009.

    2) I learned that "Condé Nast Traveler" magazine will fly me to New York to live-tweet their Readers' Choice Awards on Twitter. That's a publication that is starting to really understand the Web!

  8. Had a successful summer planning to start my non-profit performance arts group. Had 2 open houses with strong attendance. Holding Auditions next weekend. I have a very committed all-volunteer staff who is excited about seeing this all get off the ground too!

    We even got some national attention when one of our open houses was written about on a major performance-arts website!

  13. Thanks, Marco. You have a great question. I'm thinking of doing a few interviews with local bankers to find out how credit is right now. Thanks for the idea!

    Wow, Michelle! You all really packed a bunch into that re-design! Excellent work!

    Aruni, welcome to the Brag Basket! Hope you'll drop in again soon. :)

  16. Bragging on myself and my St. Charles County Twitter buds.
    We had our first local Tweetup. It went quite well, and we even managed to have some nonlocals show up.

    Where we had it was about 40 miles from downtown St. Louis. Not only did two fellow Twitters from down that way make it out, but one of the gave our celebrity guest, Chris Brogan, a ride from down that way.

    There was laughter, smiles, good food, good beer, and great company.

    It wasn't totally my idea, so be sure to recognize @JavaStl as well.

    Go St. Charles County Twitter Folk!

  18. I made the front page of DMNews.com, including a photo. The full article can be found at Social Media Goes Global.

    I was interviewed about our social media plans at Ford and they called me back to ask if they could send a photographer over for a formal photo shoot.

  20. Looking for work -
    Pushing through the gauntlet of limpwristed handshakes, and empty cotillion air kisses.
