NickDCCultural Capitol: It`s DC, Baby

By Nick Vivion, gaytravel.com

 

Being the capitol of the United States, Washington, DC, is a hotbed of cultural activities. Every cultural organization at least has an office here, which means that there is a critical mass of excellent arts here. 

 

The National Mall is the center of most travelers' cultural itineraries, with its world-class museums open free to the public. The Mall is home to the Smithsonian collection, which includes the National Gallery of Art, and the National Museums of American History, American Indian, African Art, African American History and Natural History.

coloradopinkCivil Unions in Colorado Would Boost State Budget by Nearly $5 Million 
   

New Williams Institute Study Findings

  

A new research study released today by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law shows that allowing same-sex and different-sex couples to enter civil unions in Colorado would boost the state budget by nearly $5 million over three years.  This net impact will be the result of savings in expenditures on state means-tested public benefit programs, an increase in state license fees, and sales tax revenues.

matt-newPeer Group Websites As Next Social Media Marketing Wave   

By Matt Skallerud

A story made its way through the blog world and mainstream media world recently which is incredible in that it shows that a number of social media marketers worldwide are beginning to see the future phases of social media marketing and where this is all going in the next five years.

 

The articles and blog postings themselves were about Paul Adams and his presentation he did at Voices That Matter Web Design Conference in San Francisco in 2010 (http://www.slideshare.net/padday/the-real-life-social-network-v2).  His presentation was exciting in that he put forth for the first time where social media is going, told from a perspective of where social media has been (with us since the dawn of civilization) to where it's headed in terms of expanding past the current social media platform of Facebook and into a vast, new frontier, of which there is no doubt that Facebook will continue to play a lead role in.
