Note from Peter Corbett:

Many of my colleagues in the creative, technology and business circles in DC have expressed interest in giving back to the community. This Spring we have an opportunity throw our weight behind a wonderful program called Servathon - a DC area wide day of service that draws 3000+ volunteers each year to work on interesting projects that better our community.

Greater DC Cares - the organization that acts as the hub of the non-profit community in DC and matches businesses and individuals with qualified non-profits - puts on the event.

Servathon will take place on Saturday, May 3rd from 8am to 12pm, with a complementary after party to follow (including 30 kegs donated by Sam Adams).

Let’s just say that this is a great way to a) give back through hands on service b) hang out with fellow creative, tech and business folks and c) have fun at a great after party.

Please join your team “Creative + Tech + Biz” by clicking this link

You be asked to donate $20 as a registration fee (gets you a t-shirt and after party), but please contribute more if you can.

If you have any questions, please email me, or comment here!

iStrategyLabs works on a few double secret projects a year. For the most part, we never get to say anything about them (no we don’t work for any government agencies). However, most of the time, it’s our job to promote our client’s work as much as possible. Our engagement with Workstreamr has been a little different.

We’ve had to hold back on our desire to shout at the top of our lungs on this one - but with the knowledge that one day, just one day, we would be able to introduce you all to a killer brand/community/tool that meshes work with social media and networking. The result of this mashup is simple: you get more done with people you like to collaborate with.

What began as a brand strategy project back in October rapidly turned into a passion. WorkStreamr ‘entered the labs’ at iStrategyLabs as an investment - Peter Corbett joined the advisory board and will work closely with co-founders Sam Huleatt, Ben Schippers and Stowe Boyd on brand strategy, marketing communications, and community development.

Today we’re proud to announce that registration is open for a small, controlled beta, so if you’re into this kind of thing, please enter your details here at WorkStreamr. We’ll keep you posted on progress and let some folks in shortly to take a peek!

The Social Media Ecology is the most expansive environment on the web. There are hundreds of social networks, millions of blogs, billions of media elements in the form of photos, video, documents and audio. Oh, and let’s not forget that there are hundreds of millions of people that use various tools everyday to create, disseminate and consume social media.

We use lots of tools for our client work, personal explorations and day to day functioning as digital strategists. The graphic below is quick look at some of the tools we use to do what we do. Are there tools not on here that you use to create, distribute and consume social media? Please leave a comment!
