Digital Nomad Blog Carnival (Thai Political Unrest Edition)

political violence in Thailand

I offered to host Cody McKibben’s digital nomad blog carnival this month, and the timing couldn’t have been better. I’m sure he needed the help. Cody lives in Bangkok, which continues to be gripped with it’s worst political violence in decades.

When I wrote Cody to talk about this month’s blog carnival, I received this email in response:

Unfortunately the political unrest in Thailand has reached a boiling point and anti-government protesters are clashing with soldiers on my doorstep—rubber bullets, tear gas, M79 grenades and petrol bombs are flying on Thanon Ratchaprarop and Din Daeng in central Bangkok.

ALL business is on hold until further notice. Until things cool down, I may be difficult to reach and take several days to respond to your message. Thanks for your understanding.

An Interview With Social Media Maven and Digital Nomad Chris Brogan

airplane-flying-high

If I referred to Chris Brogan simply as “Mr. Social Media,” plenty of people would guess who I was talking about. Chris has been blogging since 1998 and his blog is now one of the worlds’ 100 most authoritative blogs, according to Technorati.

Chris writes, speaks and consults on how businesses can improve marketing and PR through the use of social software and community platforms (like Twitter, Facebook, Blogging, etc.). He is president of New Marketing Labs and has a book coming out later this year called Trust Agents about how to tap the power of social software and networks to build your business.

If you’re interested in being able to work from anywhere, Chris is a great resource. He’s a real digital nomad. He recently teamed up with Citrix Online to create a new blog for digital nomads and road warriors called Work Shifting.

Thanks to Chris for agreeing to do this interview. Here’s what he had to say about being a digital nomad and about how social media can help people create a better lifestyle.
