Shawn Smith’s web ninja life

That’s right folks. Shawnsninja is back in the rotation! Thanks to all who have stuck with me through my inconsistent updating.

Where I’ve been:

Optimal Webworks – Who would have thought having a full-time job and gunning a web design and marketing company could be so time-consuming? Believe it people! Looking for it to expand this summer to allow for more free time. Partners include Sam Jones and Nikki Teepparasarn.

New Media Bytes – Find observations and how to’s regarding online news production, online journalism and the media landscape. I spend a lot of time going over online marketing and search engine optimization ideas and relating them to the world of journalism. I kicked this blog off last summer and really got it rolling near the end of the year.

Big Food little kitchen – The cooking show that Shawnsninja gave birth too has returned with it’s own home. I’ve enlisted Nikki Nix to add a pretty face and kitchen know-how. We published the first episode of the year a couple of weeks ago. Check them out!

Twitter – Twitter became my social network of choice near the end of 2007. I’ve been able to connect with a ton of interesting people and learned a lot from others. Take a look at this post I put together on NMB to learn more about what Twitter is.

You’ll likely see me in a boatload of other places too, but these are my main time-consumers.

What’s in store for Shawnsninja?

I’ll be working on ways to include more of my lifestreaming here, including life updates and what I’m up to.

What else is on deck?

We’re planning several new online video shows for this summer, including revamping Big Food little kitchen, driveway mechanics and a travel show – which will finally see the release of my Thailand videos.
