Guess the Sugar Girls at the PopSugar/Tech Crunch Party!

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:00:22 PDT

The PopSugar/Tech Crunch party has come and gone (tear). But what a way to kick off Spring! The party (last Thursday night) was a hit and most of us have finally recovered. Some of the Sugar girls were lucky enough to go down to LA and represent in style. I rounded up a good amount of the girls (and guy) for some Look Booking fun. I thought it would be even more fun for you to try to guess who the Sugar girls are. To be fair, I have dropped hints in the slides and here's who is pictured: PartySugar, Bella, Citizen, Pet, Team, Buzz, Geek, and of course, Pop. Happy guessing and doesn't everyone look Fab?!

How Social Media Can Help You Score That Dream Job

Emily Co — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:28:47 PST

When you think you've exhausted all your job options, the worst thing to do is to wait it out. There are always ways to get to where you want to be, and you just need to think outside of the box. Even just a single tweet might be the trick you need to get the job of your dreams.

Companies are now interested in more than just your résumé. They are also sizing up your LinkedIn accounts, video profiles, and presence on other social-media platforms. In fact, there are plenty of people who have successfully tried social-media-savvy ways to get a job when the traditional route has failed. One example is Matthew Epstein, a job hunter who invested $3,000 in a flashy website and video to capture the attention of Google. Through his campaign (that went viral), he managed to score interviews with Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, as well as capture the media attention of CNN and TechCrunch. He did, in the end, land a job of his dreams, although it wasn't a Google job. Hanna Phan, a freelance presentation consultant, is another person who got a job through social-media efforts - she created a 90-second slideshow with SlideRocket and tweeted it to the firm's CEO. The head of the company was impressed, and she received a job offer.

If you want social media to be part of your job-hunting arsenal, keep these tips in mind:

Don't be the jack of all trades: Don't spread yourself too thin and try to hop onto every social-media bandwagon. Instead, channel your energy toward three or four platforms and try to develop them as best you can. Choose from accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, and YouTube, to name a few.
Be creative: A ton of people are on Twitter and Facebook, so you need to think of ways to separate yourself from the others. You can brainstorm unique angles and ideas with friends and look at past examples of what people have done. Perhaps you can come up with a YouTube video or a Tumblr blog that will go viral and capture people's attention. Think of current events and how you can capitalize on them.
Don't be a pest: Finally, you need to be cautious of bugging people on the web. Be smart about how you reach out to people, and don't keep bothering them if you don't hear a response.

Why We're Currently Freaking Out For Farmigo

Lizzie Fuhr — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 16:14:51 PDT

We've been proponents of farm-to-table dining, farmers markets, and CSA boxes for some time, but sometimes finding these resources can be tough, especially if you don't live in a city with a strong local food movement. But there's a new service that may be the answer to your foodie prayers.

As part of the TechCrunch Disrupt Battlefield, a new service is in town: a website called Farmigo. According to TechCrunch, Farmigo is "looking to make these CSAs more accessible, more popular, and more efficient - disrupting the way you set about buying your produce." The premise is simple. Type in your zip code and find a location that's convenient for you. Select a producer and find a subscription that works for you. Pick up your food and enjoy. Be sure to check out the super cute video Farmigo provided, explaining the service and all its splendors.

There are so many benefits to eating farm-to-table and supporting local farmers; we could go on for days. Do you think you'll utilize this site or try out a CSA subscription? Or do you still prefer to pick up your fruits and veggies from a farmers market or grocery store without any commitment?
