Several weeks ago New York City celebrated Internet Week. The week-long celebration featured tons of activities from cocktail events, a Webutante Ball and Social Media Camp. The first event I attended was New York City Ignite. Ignite brings together "geeks" for five minute presentations featuring topics of their choice. In it's fourth installment, hosts Tikva Morowati and Brady Forrest, gave the floor to eight presenters including a satirical skit about Swine Flu to the first annual 15 Second Ignite Film Festival. My favorite speaker was Rachel Sklar who discussed her Charitini cause. It's designed to provide monetary gifts to nonprofit organizations. Rachel receives donations from her friends, family and anyone else willing to give. What started as a way to celebrate Rachel's birthday has snowballed into a continuous effort to help nonprofits in need. Kudos to Rachel for forgoing birthday drinks to ensure the need of charitable organizations are taken of! Women start making your Moves today!
