Guest Post: Amy Reaman – Moments of Happiness

Confucius made it sound so simple… “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Although Confucius makes a good point, we all have bad days and moments of frustration (I’m no Confucius, but I call this being human). A year ago, I was in a much… more »

Find a Book with Google Goggles, One Page at a Time

I’m slow to the party. I’m slow to lots of parties. I’ve had the Google Search app on my phone for a while. And I use it. But not ’til today did I notice that little camera icon that says “Goggles” under it. Thanks to my friend smays.com, via Google+, I’ve been clued in. I… more »

How do you react when you receive negative comments on your business’ Facebook page?

Guest Post: Social Media–The Answer to My Plea

Another major hurdle in my family has been cleared. My daughter has been admitted to a college she likes, the “money situation” is in front of us in black and white, and she’s made her choice. She’s on her way. It’s a great school. I’m very happy. She was determined to make this happen. And… more »

Guest Post: Kimberly Michel – Fallen Idols

The NFL draft is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. I watch the entire thing, as college players wait anxiously for their name to be called.  Essentially, I devote four days of my life every year to the draft.  Some may think it is an extreme waste of time, but it is… more »

Link to Your Contacts When You Mention Them in LinkedIn Updates

I’ve been using LinkedIn, with varying degrees of success, to promote conferences and other events my company produces. It’s been frustrating to me that when I’ve wanted to specifically mention a speaker or conference partner who is one of my LinkedIn contacts that I’ve had to use the URL of that person’s LinkedIn page in… more »
