A Photobooth! Mariposa Cruises had Flashpoint Photobooth at their party the other day. Keri posted about it here and my post is here.

Something happened at school yesterday Mum. One of the kids posted a list of all the ‘popular’ kids and everyone started talking. Like, enough talking to make some noise.

Zach named the “Top 150 Toronto Twitter Influencers” based on Klout ranking. Here’s the top 20. Last Summer Klout published the Toronto Top 10 Influencers.

The reactions reminded me of being back at PHS, I’m pretty sure a list like this was passed around there once or twice.

If you’re not familiar with Klout (duh?), Klout is the Standard of Influence Online and ranks people based on their social interactions and conversations (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn).

This is what the new Klout Dashboard looks like:

Zach is known to stir controversy & likes to get people talking. Prime example, this tweet.  He’s also the one behind recent Canada’s Sexiest Election Candidate poll. There’s heaps of comments & reactions on his #TOTop150 post. I reckon Klout appreciates the attention, I’ve seen them get lots of it over the last year. Remember last summer when a bunch of us got free flights? That was fun.

How we interact with each other on the Internet is new to everyone. I love developments in social tracking, analytics & metrics such as this. Klout has established themselves as the online standard but I reckon clout with a ‘C’ is more important in the world. Hey, there’s no ranking scale for that one, baby.

Fashion people don’t care about Klout scores, some people do.

Then this happened… (Up to 1,666 views at 3:33am)

Uh, ohhhhhh.

While this was happening I was lazing around not Tweeting. Had a real nice afternoon. Took photos of pretty flowers & coloured with rainbow Pepsi markers. Picked up my fav ever cacao quinoa cereal from Kensington. Watched Netflix. Took a nap.

Oh btw did you see how high my stock is on Empire Avenue? Top 10 business stock and yesterday CASIE net wealth passed a million. That ‘first million’ saying counts on the social stock to right? Sana saaaaaaaa.

The other night I was at Bedford Academy for dinner & drinks with some of my fav friends to celebrate Renee‘s visit from SF. Haven’t seen Renee since she moved and it was so nice to see her in IRL. WE MISS YOU RENEE! ♥

We felt it was a good idea for her to make a speech. It went something like this…

Tried to take some pano shots of the crew but I’ve not mastered shooting people this way. I’m learrrrrrning still.

Most of us in this group met early 2009 through events like Twestival, GenYTO, CanLit and patio Tweetups. It’s amazing to see how everyone has evolved over the last few years. We’re a passionate group of young people working with new technology in mobile, social and web.  When we started GenYTO this was our mission, to unite the “wired, creative and ambitious young people in the in the Toronto startup, marketing, PR and tech community.”

This is me on My City Lives around this time last year talking about how my friends in the Toronto tech community have inspired me.

You might recognize a few of these awesome people 😉

I reckon it’s time to plan GenYTO Summer 2011. Ideas welcome. LMK.

Don’t ever forget that. Your thoughts are real things. Your thoughts become things. If you believe it you can achieve it. Go bold & conquer your dreams!

My gay roommate from Sweden in Australia loved this song. LOVE YOU JUUSO BABY! xo

Well helloooooooooooo dah’ling, welcome.

This is the boat I went on, Capt. Matthew Flinders.

He’s Australian & kinda special.

Captain Matthew Flinders RN (16 March 1774 – 19 July 1814) was one of the most successful navigators and cartographers of his age. In a career that spanned just over twenty years, he sailed with Captain William Bligh, circumnavigated Australia and encouraged the use of that name for the continent, which had previously been known as New Holland.

I’M KING QUEEN OF THE WORLD CITY. I kid I kid, this will never stop being funny to me. I don’t even give a care what you think about it either.

Ahoy, matey!

Eat her dress, do it. So pretty in the sunshine she was.

Who thinks we should have a party here? Say ‘ai ai’ & raise yo hand.

Gamble?

Mariposa Cruises went all out for this mixer. Loved it.

Didn’t have any of these.

This yes.

And a whole lotta this.

Then we met Mysterion.

I wrote down a word on this paper and he had his eyes closed then HE GUESSED IT. I know, awesome & Casie go together but he didn’t even KNOW ME.

Then we had round two and I drew cherries, folded it up and put it in his hand and HE DREW THE SAME THING. Fahhhh, this guy is good man.

Keri drew a server and he drew a set of drawers (obvs he didn’t think of server) but STILL. Holy kaw.

Our city is so beautiful. View from the water/island is dreamy.

Mr. Mariposa, Jason Lambert. New BFF! HI JASON!

Hey Bloggeratti!

Social(ites). Few beers deep by this time.

Then I are some meat. With my hands. BARBARIAN.

You bet your ass I filled my purse w/ candy. Jason encouraged me, he didn’t know any better.

Thank you Mariposa Cruises for the invite. We had a blast.

This is the mind twisted fork.

Ok, to be honest, mighta had a little tooooo much fun 😉
