I hear this statement frequently from corporate executives.. I never have seen the need for me to social network for my company.  That is what our Marketing groups does. The remark says a lot about the person and their lack of understanding of the importance social networking has become for businesses of all levels.  It is true, large business executives seldom venture out to any public function set up to socialize with small business owners.  Why?  On the most part they see the functions...

I still see a lot of content being published online talking about SEO this and SEO that.  This use to be interesting reading back a couple of years, but things have changed.  What has changed?  Well, first of all consumers’ thinking has changed.  Consumers are better educated about how the internet works and most know all about the tricks many businesses use to get in front of them to push their services or products.  This includes search engine results. Consumers are real people and they... Read Full Story

As the new year begins the reports start rolling in on how 2011 shaped up for the Golf Economy.  In a recent article posted on USA Today web site titled, As golf declines, life on links ain’t what it used to be , there was reference to a report from the National Golf Foundation reporting a 13% decrease in the number of golfers in the US.  Though this reported number of golfers in the US could be, and probably is, worse it does state a fact that any recover for the golf economy will be very...

If you have been following me on Twitter and Facebook you know I use the term ‘Linkster’ frequently.  Since I get so many people emailing me asking what I mean when I refer to someone as a ‘Linkster’ I thought I would provide a brief definition I could refer to when I am asked this question.

The end of the year Holidays just seems to be the best time to enjoy a drink with friends and family.  This year’s festivities was no exception.  Since I was so impressed with the New Jack Daniel Tennessee Whiskey you might want to try bringing in the New Year with a little ‘Sip’, or two! Since early summer I had been hearing about Jack Daniels’ new brand of whiskey.. Tennessee Honey .   Just the name gets my taste buds starting up a Tea Party caucus and organizing an Occupy group to sit in... Read Full Story

Over the past couple of years the subject of Privacy has really heated up.  At issue is what online social platforms gain from the information someone provides in their spaces.  The question is..What’s the big deal?  The online social networks are pretty clear on what their intentions are, why is it a HUGE shock to so many people they are selling or using the information you provide them on their sites…key word here is "Their Site". What some people do to be online, but attempt to keep basic... Read Full Story
