A Fine Aged Wine Uses Social Media: A Case Study

Barb Matteri, helping women over 50 know that they are powerhouses.My friend and colleague, Barbara Matteri, approached me a while ago, very excited. “I have a blog now. You should read it.” “Great,” I said, “What are you wanting to accomplish with it?” She didn’t have a clear answer to that question, but promised to think about it. My next questions were: “Where are you promoting it? Have you connected it to your facebook account, and how about in LinkedIn? Do you have a website that can act as a hub for your goals?” “Oh, I haven’t done any of those things,” she replied. Sigh. Since my focus for people using Social Media is on those over 50, I decided right there and then that she would be my case study. I suggested that, and she enthusiastically agreed. So, the next few blogs will follow Barb as she begins to learn how to get her message out to the world via the internet. But first, let me introduce you to her:

Take Internet Explorer 9.0 (BETA) for a Test Drive

Internet Explorer 9.0

As Microsoft nears the fourth release of Internet Explorer 9.0 on September 15, 2010 the jig is up.  The competition for a top performing browser has been on-the-run for some time as powerhouse giants such as Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox, & Apple’s Safari are dominating the market.  Consumers are in a dying need of a browser that can perform well on the web and mobile devices.  The chances of exceeding those expectations are, well…..not quite there yet sadly to say.  Although Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0 claims to deliver industry leading functionality with its official upcoming release of the IE 9.0 on September 15, 2010.  While I was out and about on the web scoping out the hidden potential I came across this good find and thought I’d share with you fine folks (You, the reader!).

Remain Cautious of FireFox 3.5.11

FireFox 3.5.11 Bookmarks Issues

Recently I created a new blog post about the comparison of all top web browsers that are available on the web.  This particular one actually pertains to remaining cautious of FireFox 3.5.11 and how it has royally screwed up my desktop.  Well, I shouldn’t quite say “royally” as some may get offended by the language.  Although it has now been about a week since I upgraded to FireFox 3.5.11 and yet to find a trace of my long lost bookmarks.  That’s right folks!  I’ve lost approximately two years worth of bookmarked pages and resource information due to this upgrade.  This is one of those times that I’ll probably get a response on this post stating something along the lines of “Why not use an online service to store your bookmarks?” Exactly!  Why didn’t I use an online bookmarks storage service?
