Like it or not, your product choices say something about you. Mac users vs. PC users. Bud Light drinkers vs. Yazoo drinkers. Etc. The links you share can do the same - build an image, or tear one down. This session will explore the following:

• How to share links the right ways with the right audiences
• What types of links represent your brand positively
• How monitoring your traffic across URLs can help you discover what headlines work and what doesn't
• How to brand your links and why it's a good idea

Not only will we discuss why, we will present a case study with Raven Tools.

We all want to be more agile. We want a process that helps us deliver awesome code, but need to drag the rest of IT and the business along with us. How do you stop the nightmare of yesteryear, and sneak agile into your shop, right under the noses of the waterfall guardian trolls? We have five ways to be more agile without officially changing your process, or getting fired.

Typically, I'm the one telling people "if it was easy, everybody would do it". Unfortunately, I didn't heed my own advice. When I fell into a chance to build an iPhone game, I thought "shouldn't be too hard."

One year later, I'm kicking myself at the time, money, and overall CRAZINESS that goes into developing a mobile app (specifically, an iPhone game called gpsAssassin). I'll share every terrible, back-breaking mistake I made trying to finish what was supposed to be a 3 month project :)
