Pulling the internet dating thread
 Posted
4/8/2010 9:29:00 AM
So, I am leery of dating sites…so leery in fact that I have never tried a dating site. But, recently at an Internet Marketing Conference one of the speakers, Ryan Merket, talked about a new Facebook Connect dating site called Thread.com.
The idea behind Thread.com is that Facebook users use Facebook Connect to log onto the page in order to search friends’ friends, ask mutual friends for info, and send Facebook messages to people they are interested in. Or Thread.com Users can play matchmaker and suggest matches to their friends. Thread.com is in public beta and first launched in March 2009.
Since Thread.com users sign up with their Facebook profiles it is more likely that the information that is presented about a Thread.com user is accurate because the information that one shares about their age, gender, name is the same on their Facebook profile; therefore, if a Thread.com user wants ...
Getting trapped

Can you inadvertently set up a trap for yourself?
Sometimes without realizing it you create a situation where in you render yourself powerless and end up feeling trapped; for instance, if you take on an imprudent debt load on your credit card you may soon find that the pressure of the situation leaves you feeling vulnerable when you need to negotiate your wage with your boss or your lending rate with your bank…as you feel the mounting weight of your unwise decision you begin to feel trapped. If we look back we see that the lack of forethought of the individual when making purchasing decisions lead to their situation…so the person set their own trap.
Pushing the envelope is a great way to trap yourself…you really can’t afford the time to invest in owning a pet but you commit to the cute little puppy at the first whim…then you later ...
What is your dating mantra?

One of my friends recently saw a psychic who told her that she needed a dating mantra. The psychic explained that a dating mantra is a phrase that she could repeat over and over to herself so that she could avoid dating the same type of guy over and over.
So my friend went home from that psychic encounter and decided that her mantra needed to be: “I’m not a bandaid!”...yep you guessed it, she was a habitual dater of fixer upper guys...you know the type of person male or female who would prefer to push their problems onto their partner rather than deal with them.
A guy friend of mine has a habit of dating the gold-digging-type of woman who shamelessly takes as much as she can get when he comes home from working up north. I passed along the psychic’s advice to him recently when he was complaining ...

''I’m too busy''
Posted
11/16/2009 8:04:00 AM
I always fear becoming that person that is “too busy” for everyone around them. The person who doesn’t have time to laugh at a joke with a co-worker or listen to the story that a loved one is telling. You ask Mr. or Ms. Busy how they are doing and all they can say is, “I’m really busy.”
I really appreciate those people in the office that despite a hectic schedule or many responsibilities they never make me feel that they are too busy for my quick question. I love those family members who always take the time to take an interest in everything that I am doing no matter what pressing concerns or obligations they have on their mind. It isn’t easy to be the person who is able to keep a cool head and manage all the pressures of life while taking the time for those around them....

Are your ideas STICKY?
Posted
11/10/2009 9:19:00 AM
“Having a good idea isn’t enough--we have to be able to make it stick for it to count” explains author Chip Heath to Meredith Vieira of NBC News’ TODAY.
Packaging your message in such a fashion that it resonates with your audience is an important skill that we all employ at some point or another. For instance, a teacher spends every day trying to make his or her educational message stick with a group of students; a retailer works tirelessly to make information about where to purchase his or her products stick with consumers; and a job applicant carefully prepares for an interview in an effort to make his or her message stick with a potential employer.
The bestselling book, Made to Stick: why some ideas survive and others die discusses practical ways to make your great idea memorable.
The co-authors of Made to Stick, brothers Dan and Chip Heath, ...

Making your own personal newspaper
Posted
10/26/2009 6:16:00 AM
You don’t have time to read the paper, you have too many sites to visit every day and you can’t keep up with your favourite bloggers…it is time to make the information find you. You can use different web services like Netvibes to organize all the important information that you would like see on a regular basis.
Don’t waste time navigating to each website you visit on a regular basis rather insert widgets into your Netvibes page so that you will receive notification when the site or blog is updated. So essentially you can create your own personal newspaper that will bring together all the information that you are looking for. (Editors Note: Don't forget to add iNews880.com into your personal newspaper for all your local news! - blb)
All professionals should take note of this tool to keep track of conversation about their brand or products. You can ...
