New York Business Xpo was excellent!

Today, the New York Business Expo was held at the Jacob Javits Center in New York. This event provided small business owners and marketing professionals the ability to catch up on the latest news happening in social media, search engine optimization strategies and email marketing. Presenters included speakers from Constant Contact, Message Medium and CoCommunications. The Constant Contact panel gave participants the ability to learn about how social media and email marketing can work together to expand your audience. They also gave tips on how much you should write in your posts on social media and provided suggestions on how and when emails should be sent. The Search Engine Optimization workshop was presented by Maisha Walker who is the President and Founder of Message Medium which is a company that provides courses in online marketing including social media and search engine optimization. Maisha Walker also writes articles on Inc. Magazine which covers topics related to online marketing. 

The events were informative and allowed me the opportunity to stay up to date with social media and search engine optimization strategies.  The best part about the New York Business Xpo is that we got tons of freebies like bags, pens and even earphones from some of the exhibitors.

 

Meeting Jessica Nigri and Jason David Frank at the New York Comic Con

New York Comic Con was a blast this past week and this year's turnout was huge! Excellent guests and panels. Had the opportunity to Jessica Nigri and Jason David Frank.
Jessica Nigri was awesome! She has a great personality and enjoys her fans. My wife and I was able to take a picture with her and get an autograph. Thanks Jessica !  Jason David Frank (aka Tommy Oliver the Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)  was also at the New York Comic Con from Friday, October 11 to Sunday, October 13, 2013. My wife and I were able to meet with him today during his autograph session and get a picture with him. He loves his fans and got everyone singing the Power Rangers theme song when he arrived at the Jacob Javits Center. We also gave him a present for his daughter Jenna which is a hair bow with the Green Ranger on the button that my wife created. He also helped us by promoting the image on his Facebook Fan page at the Jason David Frank Official Fan Page. Thank you Jason and hope to meet you again next year at the New York Comic Con !!

Although this year's New York Comic Con is in the books, I'm looking forward to next year. Can't wait to see what other panels will be there and looking forward to seeing my favorite guests like Jessica Nigri and Jason David Frank again !

GTA 5 Online - Rockstar to compensate GTA online players with $500,000 stimulus money in game

After the problems Rockstar Games faced with the launch of Grand Theft Auto 5 Online earlier this month, Rockstar Games will be compensating players with $500,000 stimulus money in game. However, this money will be distributed in installments of 2 payments of $250,000. The update will roll out as early as next week and dates will be announced on Rockstar's Newswire blog.  

Additionally, for PC gamers hoping that GTA 5 would come to the PC platform, according to Eurogamer, GTA 5 may come to the PC platform by Quarter 1 of 2014.  I'm definitely looking forward to seeing go on the PC platform as well because of Mods :D.
