My company buys me a Windows machine and so I use a Windows machine. I have had this PC just over a year and I received it with Windows Vista. Within two hours I had found ten things that the new machine could not do because of driver issues and other configuration issues that we had to labor through.

I found it through an article I had read recently and just started using their service. For those who have not gone to the site yet, they are an online grocery store with no perishable items. I just purchased razors, shampoo and soap.

I have learned how to be as diplomatic as possible in suggesting ways to improve upon bad websites. I just read the article “Showdown At The Web Corral: Convincing Your Boss to Fix a Hideous Website” by Dan Heath from “Fast Company” magazine that provides a solution to make changes happen.

I just read an article from my iPhone about smart phones that I wanted to share with you because it touches on two phone companies that have a special place in my heart; Motorola and Blackberry.

Well this week my question was answered. I received the following email from a nice gentleman; “I just stumbled on and old blog you had written at the beginning of the year. Well how did it go did you lose the twenty pounds? Just kidding. The article lifted my spirits........

As the title states our country has gone Twitter crazy and Facebook mad. Yes I participate in all of them so I can better understand how to use them in the media world and the business environment. Social Marketing is like any other marketing, understand your audience and you provide them with information and offers that will help drive traffic.

A lot of chatter on the internet about how these commercials makes people feel creepy. I have watched several versions and I liked the commercial. I am not creeped out by them. Take a look and let me what you think.
