BizEtiquette ~ The Handwritten “Thank You” Note

Tweet   Last year’s birthday was easy for me.   As I received birthday gifts, I sat down at my desk and wrote out “thank you” cards.  This year…not so easy.  Just about all my friends and family are on Facebook and/or Twitter, they all have smartphones, and they all text message….even my Mom and my 10…

Don’t Just “@” Me!

Tweet Five years ago, I never thought I would be an “@” master.  I can write it, I look for it, I memorize things that come after it, it’s on my biz cards and sometimes it is the first thing I look for on my iPad in the morning…all because of Twitter. Now, I thought…

Does Twitter Make You More Honest?

Tweet We’ve all been there.  Having to tell the Little White Lie.  “Sorry, I can’t make that conference call, I’ll be in a meeting” , (I am at the nail salon).  “Thursday?  Shoot, I have a dentist appointment”, (I am having lunch with a potential client that I don’t want you to steal).   We have,…

Is Bigger Better?

Tweet Who is on your list?  I have been thinking about this a lot the last few weeks.  Between taking a couple of REALLY good classes on social media, watching businesses use Facebook, Google+ just launched and listening to my fave Tech Guy, Leo Laporte via podcast, I’ve been all about “who is on my…
