Apple Mail – Is there a better way?

I like to give all things Apple a try, but I must admit, Apple Mail has been very disappointing.  Yes, it can aggregate different mail accounts (still haven’t figured out how to get work Outlook in there), and it has a cool sound effect with a paper airplane graphic when mail gets sent out, but [...]

A Social Media Family Reunion

A funny thing happened on the way to the webinar (the one I moderated for Matindale Hubbell Connected last week; my first time doing that by the way).

Connected: using social media tools to recast yourself

It has been over 14-days since I last posted, a violation of the blogger’s code (never go more than 10-days without a post).  No, I am not turning in my blogger card just yet.  In fact, there have been some significant changes in my life over the last few weeks, some of which can be [...]

How Much Are Your Social Media Efforts Worth?

Everyone’s on Facebook (even my parents).  You’ve got to have blog (even if no one reads it).  How many tweets did you send today (3-so far, but I’ve had meetings all morning)?  Social media is a buzzin’ (still) and will be for the foreseable future.  Businesses all know that they’ve got to be in this space, but [...]
