The following are my notes from Deborah Schultz' talk at ConnectNow in Sydney.

Deb is a web chick form the early days. She's a former web designer and a partial geek (but she doesn't code). She's a translator between businesses and geeks. She's a slash queen (digital ethnographer/customer advocate/connector/tummler), a passionate experimenter, and she was also a Director at Six Apart and launched Citibank.com.

Why is it that sometimes we get a tweet from a brand and we're more than happy, and sometimes we're disgusted by it?
