We spent last weekend at Big Omaha. It was an amazing conference and we got so much out of it. If we had one complaint, it would be that we would love to see more inspiring women in tech! We've got some suggestions for next year. Let's see if you agree with those on ...
Using Twitter as a news source is not a new phenomenon. But, it hit close to home when I called my family members tonight that live in Oklahoma. Some of you may know that tornadoes have been tearing through the state this evening. I was noticing a few tweets and some Facebook status updates and ...
Big Omaha is next weekend and Deb and I are beyond excited to attend. It is a top-notch conference for entrepreneurs and we love that it is in Omaha.
