If you want a great way to stand out from the crowd, get your own video commercial and put it on your web site! This is a great way to personalize your business. It lets people see you are a real person. It can make complete strangers like you and think they know you!

Annoyed with Google about Buzz? You are Not alone!
February 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Yeah, when I first logged into my Gmail and saw this Buzz stuff, I wasn’t quite sure what to think. When I saw people in “my buzz” that I really didn’t want to have anything to do with, people I hadn’t had any contact with in years (on purpose!), I really didn’t want “to buzz.”
I’m not the only one, apparently. Check this:

I Confess I am a Sudoku Addict
December 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Anytime I need to take a brain break, or if I expect to find myself waiting somewhere for any length of time, I whip out my trusty clipboard and a puzzle from: Web Sudoku – Billions of Free Sudoku Puzzles to Play Online
I only do the evil ones any more, and it’s rare that I can’t finish successfully. But I have to admit, while they’re hard to put done once I start, I have virtually no interest in the solution if I bung it up. I just crumple it up and move on to the next one.
I find that strangely amusing considering when I can’t finish a crossword I *really* want to see the solution in the next day’s paper! It bugs me until I know what word I couldn’t think of.
But numbers in squares? Eh. Just a time killing mind eraser…
Now where’s my clipboard?

One More Reason to Ditch my Blackberry and Go iPhone
December 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment
[T]here’s a keg’s worth of new beer-themed iPhone apps that have recently
bubbled to the surface of the iTunes store. In the brave new AR world,
you’ll always be able to find craft beers and a cozy watering hole wherever you go. Unlike last year’s hokey iBeer app, the following actually have practical applications.

Will 2010 be The Year of LinkedIn?
November 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment
I’ve been on LinkedIn for years, but I never really warmed up to it. I’m on Facebook much more.
For quite some time I’ve been thinking I might benefit from a more concerted effort to “LinkIn.” The problem, from my perspective, was it seemed a bit too closed. And a little stiff.
But that’s changing. You can now link Twitter and LinkedIn, and more openness is on the way. It seems I’m not alone in thinking more of it might be better:
Gary Vaynerchuk – Early Resolution for 2010: LinkedIn As I prepare…
To make it really take off they should ditch the paid option. Always in the back of mind, and at the top of my LinkedIn profile, is the invitation to upgrade, i.e., pay to use more features. I think my hesitation, and maybe yours, is that if I use it more, I’ll want more of it, and then I’ll want to upgrade, and then I’ll have yet one more monthly hit on my credit card.
No thanks.
Google, Facebook, and Myspace (and soon Twitter?!) prove free is how to dominate. AND profit.
Enjoy!

A Good Mentor, your key to success
Gotta say, I agree with this. Even Tiger Woods still accepts coaching. Why wouldn’t anyone, even a seasoned real estate investor, want a mentor?!
