Jet Setter – Pick your trip 2012

dennishegstad — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:22:35 +0000

JetSetter is having a Pick your Trip 2012 sweepstakes. JetSetters contest seems like a pretty cool way for me to test the power of Social Media online to potentially win a trip to Brazil. I’ve used JetSetter.com before when visiting Cabo and had a great experience for finding affordable yet luxurious hotels. I’ve not only seen awesome deals from places I’ve never seen but have booked rooms at The Standard, ACE Hotel and The Hudson. It’s great to see familiar hotels also participating with JetSetter.

I’d love for anyone who reads this blog post to vote for me by clicking here. It’s quick and easy, you’d also help support my cause! IF not that’s okay too, but get familiar with JetSetter if you enjoy traveling, hotels, or just want to try something new. The photo below is the destination in Rio De Janiro, Brazil that I’m trying to visit by winning this contest.

What is YesPix

dennishegstad — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 03:37:12 +0000

What is YesPix? I’ve been getting asked this a lot lately by my friends on twitter, facebook, tumblr and more. YesPix is a place to discover, upload, view and share photos. YesPix allows you to Follow photo streams of your favorite people, places, and things. This is a new business and website that has been worked on for the last 4 months. Ok… I know what you’re thinking, there are tons of other “photo sharing apps” out there. What makes YesPix different?

YesPix sets itself apart from the other photo sharing apps with being an actual community, not just a tool. Also, YesPix offers Pro accounts for users who have a large following. YesPix Pro accounts receive revenue sharing on their own photos. YOU MEAN? Yes. Yes I mean that our users that share/post photos and drive a lot of traffic to their OWN media will be getting PAID money by YesPix. If you’re aware of the YouTube Partnership program, this is comparable to that except designed for photo sharing. YesPix will also provide analytical data for your photos so that you can really understand who is viewing your content.

The YesPix website is live here in private beta and our mobile apps are in development. ETA is sooner than you think Go request an invite at www.yespix.com. If you have any comments, concerns, feedback, or shit talk… feel free to comment below.

Square Up

dennishegstad — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 06:41:25 +0000

Square Up or better known as Square is a mobile payment processing iPhone app to simplify payments through mobile phones. SquareUp was started by Twitter’s co-founder Jack Dorsey in late 2009. I absolutely love the Square product and what it’s doing for small business’s. I don’t personally sell things with Square but being a tech nerd / early adapter I get very excited when I see companies using emerging technology.

Nonetheless, I went to a coffee shop called Groundfloor cafe in downtown Los Angeles (4th & spring) this afternoon with my girlfriend. It’s a beautiful location that’s part art gallery and part coffee shop. The vibe, menu, and setup already had me sold as for a place I’d like to come work or get coffee. Once I ordered and went to pay I noticed they had an ATM machine as well as an iPad 2 next to the register. The guy working the register told me they had just set up Square Up app yesterday and taking a lot more transactions due to that.

I started eating after the little giddy feeling I got from knowing they were using Square went away. We ordered iced coffees, nutella croissants, and cappuccino macaroons. Honestly the coffee was pretty normal quality but the pastries we’re amazing. The vibe that Groundfloor cafe had was very cool though. They had a projector setup, some couches and a whole gallery on the other side. I’d recommend this place to anyone who’s visiting Los Angeles and wants a nice place to work, relax or just grab some coffee.

The nutella croissants are pretty serious, I highly recommend them to anyone who’s a chocolate lover such as myself. Anyway, I felt I needed to write this post to not only give Groundfloor cafe in downtown Los Angeles credit for their service but also for adapting to new technology. Square has an amazing product and in this situation made my experience even better than a traditional credit card machine. Go support Square Up and Groundfloor Cafe.
