Jan Libby is a respected indie alternate reality game designer, whose day job is a freelancer working with brands to create interactive experiences.

Going Indie for Meaningfulness and Money http://1001tales.posterous.com/this-is-such-a-good-post-from-christy-dena-i http://1001tales.posterous.com/this-is-such-a-good-post-from-christy-dena-i

    What the fuck is my social media "strategy"?

    Making it up so you don't have to
