Are you a Facebook fan?
I love how my blog ideas come to me through my everyday activities. This post came out of a simple question from my husband, “Do you hit “like” for Facebook Fan pages?” My first response was, “No way, I have no interest in big companies and their products. They only want me to “like” their […]
What’s in a name?
February 20, 2013
For marketing and branding, a good name is key. The name of a product, service or company should reflect the essence of it. As a marketing person, I should be quite creative right? This is true most of the time, but I’m stuck on thinking of a catchy name for my new fitness and health […]
My 2012 blogging in review
January 10, 2013
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for my blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,700 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 10 years to get […]
The Internet – too much of a good thing
August 15, 2012
Knowledge is power and making an informed decision requires information. That’s what the Internet is for, right? I agree, with some reservations. I have been having lots of pain in my right hip and it’s getting worse, not better. This is in spite of resting it, which has been driving me crazy, since I love […]

Why blog? For me, the reasons are many: to improve my writing, to create an effective online presence, to learn more about technology, to add structure to my life. And the list goes on. Blogging is also about connecting with others. This came true for me in a very special way recently when I reconnected […]

Unless you live in a cave, you’ve heard about Facebook’s IPO on May 18th. To say there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding this is an understatement. The facts: May 18th stock valued at $38.00 per share May 18th Market Value = $100 billion. (yes, that’s a billion, not a million!) This was the second […]
Why I don’t like Google plus
May 17, 2012
I started out to write a blog post about “How to Use Google +” but I got sidetracked. As a person who loves technology and who wants to stay current with the latest trends, I dutifully signed up for Google + when it was still in its beta stage. I then promptly forgot about it. […]
4 Reasons to love Facebook ads
May 9, 2012
**SPOILER ALERT**This post is not going to be about how and why companies should embrace Facebook ads. It’s written from the perspective of the target audience (me).
