About

We provide expert training, consultation, and development services for the social web. That includes helping you understand social networks (like Twitter and Facebook), blogging (it’s the software!), and how to use audio and video media to create your own communication channels. We have been providing internet technical services since 1996 for business, nonprofits, and government agencies. We make the hard things easy for you and specialize in training services via www.KnowHowCafe.com. We are founding members of the Social Media Club, the Hawaii Chapter of the Social Media Club, and the Association for Downloadable Media, and are members of the Better Business Bureau of Hawaii.

About Our Work
We produce the chill out internet TV show Beach Walks with Rox (with nearly 3 million downloads), and have 12 years experience working in internet technology, streaming media, audio & video podcasting, new media creation and consulting, content management systems, event production, and public speaking. We are based in Hawaii and work with clients across the U.S., including Lannan Foundation, Hopscotch Press, and Prudential Insurance. We are the founders and producers of Podcamp Hawaii, a free unconference event that hosted over 400 “in person” attendees and thousands more who joined via live video stream and Twitter. We are currently working on a new project, KnowHow Cafe, which offers live and online classes about the social web, blogging, Twitter, productivity, podcasting gear, etc. Join our mailing list for updates and free offers.

We offer internet literacy to business.
Our clients often come to us when they have graduated beyond the skills of their earlier web developers or when they want to push the internet in new directions for their business. We are early adopters of the latest tools of the internet and are well versed in being able to help others (you?) navigate the increasingly complex and technical maze found “on the internets.”

Internet literacy (to us) means knowing how to be part of meaningful conversations with your desired audience. It means understanding how technology can enhance or impede your relationships with customers and with employees. Our successful customers are using the internet to diversify their businesses, to improve efficiency, and to get ahead of their competition, by using a combination of smart technology and smart psychology.

Please contact us today for a free, exploratory conversation to talk about your goals and desires and how the modern web (aka “web 2.0”) can help you attain them. We guarantee you a straight assessment with respect for where you’ve been and inspiration for where you can go now.

photo of roxanne darling Roxanne loves to travel, speak in public, paddle the 6-person outrigger canoe, and is trying to give up working really long hours. She walks the line between technology and communication with a ballerina’s balance and has a way of inspiring even luddites to try new things online. Please let it be known though, perhaps as a graduate of UC Berkeley, she is not a bystander or interested in the status quo! Here’s a short list about Rox recently:
She was voted #24 of the 50 Most Powerful & Influential Women in Social Media
She is the host of Beach Walks with Rox internet tv show
She is the founder of Podcamp + Wordcamp Hawaii
She is the founder of the Hawaii chapter of Social Media Club

photo of shane robinson Shane is well known as Secret Cameraman on Beach Walks with Rox and is a great dog trainer whose bark is worse than his bite. At work, we think he is a brilliant trouble-shooter and information architect, and with an art degree from the University of Iowa, he adds finesse to all of our projects.
