Evolve or Fade Away

WHILE THE MARKETING WORLD IS PREOCCUPIED WITH TRYING TO “FIX” ADVERTISING, EVERYONE IS MISSING THE SIMPLE FACT THAT CONSUMERS HAVE ALREADY SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

And their insatiable appetite for text, email, blogs, social networking and the like has enabled them to share opinions and recommendations in ways no on… Continue

50 Ideas on Using Twitter for Business

I’m not going to address the naysayers much with this. Instead, I’m going to offer 50 thoughts for people looking to use Twitter for business. And by “business,” I mean anything from a solo act to a huge enter… Continue

Many times in a walk of faith, we are tested, ridiculed, misunderstood, and even mis-representative of our beliefs.

Can you say 'weezy'? Did Chism step up tonight or what? I thought after the Temple loss, we might not be as good as billed. I think we are top 15 at best, if we gel, who knows. Scotty Hopson has been a disappointment to me, as I thought he was the man. He plays shy and timid. GO Vols! Continue
