Technorati covers the #28daysofdiversity project via Don Martelli @bigguyd

When I started the #28daysofdiversity project I really didn’t know how well my peers and others would receive the project or if it would gather any attention outside of the targeted demographic. But thanks to Twitter & Tim Lavallee @timlav others found out about the project and today it was featured in the LifeStyle Section on Technorati. Tim introduced me to Don Martelli @bigguyd who’s a former journalist for the Boston Globe, serves as the vice president for MS&L a PR firm in Boston and works as a an editor for Technorati.  Don interviewed me about the #28daysofdiversity project and asked a few questions such as what is the project’s goal, where did the project’s originate from and what have I learned from it. Check out an excerpt below.

So far, #28DaysofDiversity has featured an impressive line-up, including, among others: Tristan Walker of Foursquare; Gwen Peake of Ford; Jessica Faye Carter founder and CEO of Nette Media; and, Amani Channel, an award-winning video producer, and specializes in traditional and new media.

“Overall the experience has helped me get to know these people personally and not just as a person I interact with online,” Sutton said. “We [society] don’t stay connected enough. We don’t talk enough. Building relationships is very important and in talking to these talented people, it has helped me learn a lot about them and about myself for that matter.”
