Southwest Airlines New Facebook Contest – Fans Fly Free With Some Turbulance (TO OTHER AIRLINES!)

I love to start my morning with a soy latte and Facebook.  The 10 plus farmers, artists and dreamers who meet at the local Rexville Grocery (small town hang-out) every morning feel the same way about their morning ritual.  Good friends…good coffee.  Facebook has become my morning community.  I can get together with my community of friends and family in […]

Do you have twitter power?

by Julie Burgmeier I purchased twitter power by Joel Comm because I wanted the power….or at least some twitter strength (power sounds too masculine for me – but makes for a great title).   By the title and the reviews on amazon, I figured this was going to be more than a how-to book.  To my surprise […]
