For the December “Homeless” theme, the New England 12for12k team would love to invite you to Live in Lowell! – a special 12for12k event.
Live in Lowell! takes place on Thursday, December 10th and will be an evening of music, networking and fun in support of MA Coalition for the Homeless.
There will be live music all night with some of the coolest local musicians as well as raffles and auctions.
All in all, a great opportunity to meet with other social media enthusiasts, support a great cause at a time of year they need the help and have a good time as well.
Our venue, The Mambo Grill, is right in Downtown Lowell, Mass – where the American Industrial Revolution was born. Lowell is easy to get to from all the main highways and there is parking on the street or in the garage just around the corner.
Live in Lowell!

129 Merrimack Street
Lowell, MA 01852
December 10th, 2009

If you can’t make it to Lowell, we plan to stream the event live on the 12for12k site.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been getting frustrated with the various Twitter clients that use Adobe Air. These include Seesmic, Tweetdeck and Mixero.
Just like the desktop applications, HootSuite lets me set up columns for what I want to keep track of. I’m not sure what the limit is, but it seems I can set up plenty. HootSuite allows me to save any search as a column and also organize sets of columns into tabs – very nice. It also allows groups of users to be set up, although I haven’t used this feature yet.
Yet another aspect of HootSuite I’m enjoying is being able to embed a HootSuite column into other sites. For example, my Twitter feed on the homepage of this site is a HootSuite column where I searched on my username @-djh.
