Social Networking Marketing Etiquette
February 1, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Social Networking Marketing Etiquette… What is it? For many people the whole concept of Social Networking is new and definitely misunderstood. If a person were to take a look and study those that have been successful using social media and the approach that they take in building a large following of people, I’m sure they would typically see a common theme. Those that are successful always introduce themselves as a leader and someone who offers value first. What do I mean by that? If you were to meet someone new in your personal life, whether it is at church, at the park, or even on... [Read the full story]

Etiquette and Teen Texting
January 29, 2010 · 2 Comments
There seems to be some confusion about our role as parents and educators regarding our children’s use of technology. In other words how do we teach technology etiquette to Gen Y-ers who are characterized as “knowing it all” especially when it comes to technology. After all, they aren’t called the Net Generation for nothing! Let me start by start by saying that yes, most definitely, we as parents and educators have a responsibility to teach our kids how to use technology responsibly and respectfully.

There are very few people in this world who posses the kind of social graces intrinsic to the characters in an Austen novel. Some would argue the children of the “information revolution” lack social propriety altogether. Despite the rumours that etiquette is dead, many of us do manage to exercise a little common courtesy toward our fellow man. After all etiquette exists simply to make the whole society caper a little less confrontational. The introduction of wireless communication has taken social interaction to an unprecedented level. Mobile technology allows people to communicate regardless... [Read the full story]

Happy New Year! New attitude? New habits? The last year brought many changes, unfortunately, when it comes to proper technology use, many still do not take their business e-mail habits and activities as seriously as they should.

November 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment
I grew up going to flea markets. My parents were antique dealers in Chicago and my childhood was spent going to auction halls and flea markets. Not just going to flea markets. Getting up in the middle of the night to drive for hours to go to Wisconsin or Indiana to be the “early birds who got the worm.” This included wearing gloves due to the almost freezing temperatures and each of us carring our own flashlight! I’ve probably been to more flea markets than most and as a hobby I make glass and crystal jewelry and suncatchers that I show at local craft fairs and flea markets.... [Read the full story]

The Duties That Come With Those Bridesmaid Dresses Being a bridesmaid is an honor. Being asked to wear those bridesmaid dresses is something that any lady wants – albeit not for countless times as in the case of Jane Nichols in the movie 27 Dresses. Still, being a bridesmaid is a big deal – it is something that a lady prepares for. But remember that there’s more to being a bridesmaid besides walking down the aisle with one of the groomsmen.
