In 140 characters (or less): Twitter is staying put in San Francisco. At least for now. A split Board approved a payroll tax exemption in San Francisco meant to keep Twitter and similar companies in the City by The Bay. The vote means that companies who agree to move to or remain in the less…
Two months ago, the internet was, er, a-twitter about a tax deal that San Francisco appeared to be making in order to keep hot tech companies inside the city. The deal, which was focused on the social media darling, Twitter, would grant a payroll tax exemption in exchange for a move to a long-neglected area…
Would you report your neighbor for cheating on their taxes? What if you got paid for doing it? San Francisco has, for the last five years, offered up to 10% of the take for members of public who turn in their neighbors for failing to pay their fair share of taxes. It’s not the only…
Maybe it’s the sunshine that makes folks in San Francisco put off filing until the last minute… Whatever it is, San Fran topped the list of cities with the most residents stalling until the very.last.second to do their taxes. Which cities rounded out the list? I’m proud to say that Philly didn’t make the top…
In 2007, BlogHer was in Chicago (great location, wonderful city). In 2008, BlogHer was in San Francisco: I made no secret about my disappointment with SF.

I’m officially on my way to BlogHer! The flight was remarkably full this morning as we pulled out of Philly. I guess that San Francisco is a pretty popular destination – and why not? The pilot announced that it was a chilly 51 degrees at take off – a far cry from the 93 degrees…
Wow, in just about 12 hours (a little over), I’ll be crawling into a cab (before 5am, anyone would be crawling) to head out to San Francisco to speak at BlogHer. I am ridiculously excited for a zillion reasons, not the least of which is that I hear that the high in San Francisco is…
It’s a mere two weeks until BlogHer! I’m excited! I had a great conference call with my co-speakers (Sabrina Parsons and Linsey Krolik) this week, that is, until I got up while speaking – yeah, I was that excited about tax – and managed to unplug the phone (if you’re wondering who uses corded phones…
Yeah, yeah, I know. It was a bad joke last year, too, but I was hoping that it would grow on you. I’m speaking again at BlogHer – this time, it’s in San Francisco (insert squeals here). My session is Friday morning, July 18 at 10:30am. The description is here: If you’re a blogger, and…
