Well, it’s a new year, and yes, we’re having many of the same old conversations here and other places. Realistically speaking, the repetition is necessary because a great deal of the market still needs to come up to speed on social media communications (Viva Pinata by peasap).

Ay Caramba! Social Media Is Not That Difficult!

    Rats! And I thought I had the weekend off from reading material. Actually, more is always better, and if you’re not reading (and optimally, subscribing) then you’re missing out on the great service Ms. LS is providing us all here.
