Need a Hotel… Tonight?
Posted by Nessa in Just Because, Social Media on November 29, 2011
I discovered the Hotel Tonight mobile app a few months back and recently had my first opportunity to test it out! The idea behind this app is truly brilliant… basically, Hotel Tonight is a marketplace for hotels to book leftover rooms that would otherwise remain empty and give consumers great last-minute deals on awesome hotels. It’s a win-win for both the consumer and the hotels. Oh and if you need assistance, you can even tweet @hoteltonight for support <3
Although my boyfriend was a bit apprehensive about this last-minute booking option (bookings begin at 12pm)… I eased his worries by introducing him to the app a few days before and showing him some of the awesome deals for hotels in Philly.
Jason Reeves – #CagedBirdsSetFree 11.15.11
“Now that my soul has been released my songs will no longer be held prisoner. Like Caged Birds Set Free they will fly. These 6 songs are the first step towards making up all the time lost in the past 3 years. I’m sorry we had to go through that together, but I’m very proud to be moving forward and on. I write songs in the hope they’ll be heard, that we can share them as human connection, and that will now be much more possible. Thank you for staying with me and believing. Love in truth.” – Jason Reeves
I couldn’t be more excited for Jason Reeves’ upcoming EP, Caged Birds Set Free to be released next Tuesday! Although his previous album, The Lovesick, only came out 3 months ago, Jason is making a statement with the speedy release of this EP. Sans record label holding his music prisoner, Jason is sharing 6 beautiful tracks with the world including the much anticipated songs, “Rescue” and “How Many Hearts“.
It’s truly refreshing to work with an artist who is so passionate and focused on making music for the sole purpose of sharing it with others. In a recent interview Jason says,
“My only goal in writing songs is to have people hear them and to inspire people the same way that other songs and other musicians inspired me. I don’t ever think about how much it is played and how many it has sold. That’s not important to me.”

Happy Social Media Day <3 #SMday

It seems like just yesterday that I was a Freshman at Syracuse University signing up for this thing called “The Facebook”… it’s crazy to think how Social Media has expanded and evolved in such a short time! I really couldn’t imagine my life without Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Instagram… not only is it my passion but it’s also become my career and I feel extremely lucky to do what I love.

Through using Social Media for both personal and business purposes, I have seen first hand it’s power to share knowledge and information as well as connect people in really meaningful ways. Just from my own experience, I have been connected with some incredible people via Twitter who I now consider close friends in real life!
Oh and after tweeting that I failed to find parking at The Coffee Bean, without skipping a beat they offered to make up for it by mailing be a $5 gift card! I love Social Media’s ability to connect people in real-time and enable brands to have a two-way dialogue with their consumers.
Wishing you all a very happy Social Media Day (#SMday)!
