Because the posts were primarily about technology and social networking, non-tech-geek women just weren’t interested. Yes, they need to play with them, not expect to destroy them.

In my day job, I am the Director of Social Media for a digital agency and one of my clients has launched a new challenge to innovators, entrepreneurs, developers, designers…basically anyone with a knack for solving problems. You see, I’m a connector.
