Sun, 25 January 2009 And we’re done with the second episode of Copper Robot, where we heard varying perspectives on the opening days of the Obama administration. Thanks once again to everyone involved, and we plan to get the podcast posted soon. We’ll be back again in two weeks, Sunday, Feb. 8 at 11 am Pacific time, when our guest will be Aliza Sherman, an indefatigable networker and social media marketer. Aliza’s always been one of the most interesting people on the Web 2.0 scene, but her life became even more of an adventure not too long ago when she and her family moved to the tiny, remote village of Tok, Alaska. Aliza’s blog, Living in Tok is a fascinating account of adapting to life in Tok. where the population is 1,400 people, and the temperature routinely dips below 50-80 degrees below zero in winter. I get cold just thinking about it. Until she moved to Tok, Aliza was best-known as a leader in using the Internet and Web 2.0 for marketing and bringing people together. She’s active on Twitter as AlizaSherman, and in Second Life as Cybergrrl Oh. Back in the 90s, she founded Cybergrrl, Inc., an Internet company, and Webgrrls International, an organization for professional women on the Web that grew to more than 100 chapters worldwide in its first year. She was named by Newsweek as one of the Top 50 People Who Matter Most On The Internet. Today, Aliza consults with companies and nonprofits on their social media strategies, including social networks, blogs, podcasting, virtual worlds, and more. She’s working on her 8th book. She’s very busy — read her bio here — and I think she has about eight million blogs. In addition to the Living in Tok blog, she also runs Aliza Sherman Rants & Raves, and Babyfruit. You can join us for our talk with Aliza in Second Life on World2Worlds Island or download the podcast later from this blog. Hope to see you there!
