[Zena Weist]

Thanks for getting this going, Jeff!

I'm Zena Weist (pronounced: weest, I know, I know - I married into it.) I've been involved in online marketing for about 15 years, light on tech stuff, heavy on customer advocacy. Currently, I'm working client-side in brand marketing.

On to the really fun stuff, my husband and I have 4 high-energy kids that keep us bustling about. Our oldest is autistic and helps us see the world through the most beautiful lens. I love microbrew beers, black and tans, wine, wine, wine, and anything chocolate, therefore I run.

[Christina Maki]

My name is Christina Maki, although most of you probably know me from Twitter as 2012ad. I'm 23 and am a part owner of The Social Lites, a social media and web marketing business. You may also be familiar with my beautiful and talented partners, Jenn Bailey (JennBailey on Twitter) and Shelby Garlock (SEMaven on Twitter). I do the design work for our company, as well as some of the social media consultation and a lot of the technical setup.

I'm on LiveJournal for my personal blog, although I keep it friends only to maintain my "responsible adult" facade to the general public. I also run a blog called Nerdery with my significant other, Greg. The subject matter is based around comics, sci-fi, and all our other nerdy fandoms. And then there's the Social Lites website, which I mentioned above.

I can also be found on Friendfeed, Facebook, LinkedIn, Brightkite, and a bunch of other sites.

When I'm not on the intertrons, I'm usually spending time with Greg and our six pets (two dogs and four cats, and yes, it's crazy).

[Jeff]

Hey Christina!!!! I never new about your blog Nerdery...very kool. adding it to my feeds. my kind of site.
