SOLUTION FOR POSTING INTERRUPTUS

Ever find yourself in the middle of writing a post when you are interrupted by a phone call, IRL priorities, a compelling need to participate in a rocking thread…?

What to do? (besides starting from scratch later)

Here’s one solution:
1. Create a circle – label it “IN PROGRESS” or your own label for unfinished work
2. Next time you are interrupted, save the unfinished post to this circle.
3. Later, go to this circle and finish (edit) your post.
4. After completing it, share the post to your designated audience.

Ta da! Easy, peasy, lemon, squeezy.

Ok everyone listen up. I just ran into my Vet they got a fax today and are warning everyone to stop giving your dogs these treats. They are slowly shutting down their kidneys and killing dogs. Because of something they have in them. She said do not buy any treats made in china right now. It's a huge issue and is being investigated as we speak !!!!! Please repost and pass along. It's a shame cause my dogs love them!!

Ok... just have to RANT here. What do you think of sites that don't allow you in before you sign up? I clicked on a Pay per click ad (bc it had a cool picture on it!) and landed on this website... https://www.onekingslane.com/ It actually has some things that I might want to look at or perhaps buy... but within SECONDS of glancing at things... a pop up came up asking me to subscribe or login in. I wasn't able to navigate anywhere without giving them my info.

This is similar to showing a customer what you have for sale and then closing up a curtain asking them to give you all your contact info before allowing them into your store! BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I don't care how nice the stuff in your store is....

If your store has such fabulous stuff... then assume that customers want to sign up without being FORCED to sign up. Deal or no deal... I'm not going to... more »

Google+ - Google's Collaborative Engagement Engine

“What is Google+?” These words have often floated down my stream, and have been the subject of many popular blog posts. To be honest, most of us didn't know what to make of this network when we joined. Is it social media? Is it a blog? What is Google+? I decided to step back, post helpful and engaging content, and learn how other users categorize this platform.

Recently, +Gideon Rosenblatt helped paint a clearer picture with his "Shared Interest Graph" theory. I've seen Gideon post about this interpretation before, but being a visual person it didn't click until I saw the slideshow he created: http://goo.gl/7CgKw.

IF Apple announces the new iPad today... I'll give one away!

UPDATE! IT was announced! I'll order it today, they ship on March 16th so when I get it, I'll send it to the winner!

Here is how to enter:

1) You gotta have me in a Circle. Got that? Cool.
2) Publicly share this post!

That's it! So, if you want to be one of the first people to get your hands on an iPad3 here is your first chance!!! I'll announce the winner one week from today.

Oh, and this is only for US and Canada folks. Sorry! I love you guys across the pond but shipping is very, very difficult and expensive for these types of things.

PS - For those of you who are skeptical, YES - I really am giving away the new iPad. And +Cali Lewis and I give away stuff all the time. Most of the time we get things donated because of our show (GeekBeat.TV),... more »

In my latest article, I explain why I believe the idea that Businesses should just "dive in" to Social Media, could be a dangerous idea, if Organizations do not have a well-thought-out plan for what they want to accomplish, and an understanding of how to get there, while avoiding potential land-minds along their path.

NEED HELP: Hey everyone (especially all my coach friends!). I'm in a competition called Startup Weekend (5 more hours). If you have the time, I have a quick question.

Would you use a goal tracking website that had the ability to add friends/family to your goals to hold you accountable for completing them? This isn't mandatory, but can be used as a motivator. The website would be free with a pairing mobile app.

A Mini Rant - "Social Media ROI"
J.C. Kendall, CEO, TekPersona Corporation


Forgive me, but if your Social Media Consultant uses the term, "The ROI of Social Media, you should fire them. If you want, for good measure, hit them in the head for me as well?

I was reading an article tonight, which stated that one of the difficulties that business are encountering when deciding to invest in Social Media for their Marketing goals, is the "difficulty of measuring Social Media's potential Return on Investment."

When I read stuff like this, it makes me wish I had hair, so I could pull it out. Consider a Crescent Wrench? If you are a Mechanic, you have things you need to do in your shop, garage, work area, whatever, and in many cases, a Crescent Wrench is a tool that will allow you to accomplish something, am I right?

10 Important Tips for Google+ Beginners

1. To get the most rewarding experience on Google+ begin by circling at least 300. I picked 300 since it’s a manageable number. Circle too little of a number of people and your stream will be dead, circle too many at the beginning and you might overwhelm yourself with an overload of information, most of all you’ll have a hard time making solid and lasting connections.

Don’t just circle blindly or you’ll get bored. Do searches for terms you like reading about, if you’re interested in physics do a search for “Einstein”. The search results will bring up a ton of posts relating to your interests. Go through them then click on one that catches your eye. Check the users profile out, do you like their content? If so circle them! Keep doing this until you've got a good amount of people circled.

2. Pay attention tothe What’s Ho... more »
