If you, like I, follow the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) Twitter feed (@MNHS) then you might already have stumbled across an interesting lecture which may also have led you to a delightful St. Paul blog.

While many internet and web technology sites and blogs have published their 2010 predictions (including Minnov8), this post serves as a warning and a wake-up call to Minnesota companies that the power you once held — not just in communication, marketing and public relations surrounding your products, services and company — but that power is [...]

2. November 2009
This morning my Twitter stream was filled with tweets about GiveMN an online charitable donation site which launched today. The idea is simple; provide an online resource for the more than 36,000 Minnesota charitable and religious organizations to raise money for their programs. GiveMN.org is built with Razoo, an online platform optimized for charitable giving [...]

TED Hits Town, Throngs Converge And a lot more Minnesotans were wishing they could have gotten this hot ticket, it turned out. Screw the Fair, this was the place to be in St. Paul last night. There was nothing on a stick — in fact, no eats or drinks at all that I ever saw (more [...]
