About

mriggen self-portraitSocial Glu s is a project of Michelle Riggen-Ransom, a writer since she could hold a pen, a crafty marketer, a passionate start-up founder and occasionally a semi-decent rookie photographer.

Michelle acquired her start-up chops at Amazon.com, where she worked in customer service as a project manager and fell madly in love with the Internet. She’s written for diverse publications from parenting blogs to BusinessWeek and dozens of places in between. She is an unflappable live-blogger (as long as there’s enough caffeine available), providing succinct, real-time summaries of some of the most fascinating presentations around. She loves science, writing, children and nature, not always in that order.

She’s taken a start-up from zero to Google (well, they were on a panel at SXSW together) and can translate geek speak to grandmother-friendly text with ease and aplomb. What can’t she do? Cook or play poker  – but there’s still time!

Let her know if you need a little Social Glu. She loves to make things happen.

(bonus: Here’s Michelle talking about providing great customer service, one of her favorite topics!)
