My friend John Byrne asked what we liked most and least about Facebook for an upcoming presentation. Having just come back from another high school get-together, where I connected with a couple of old friend I hadn’t seen in a looooong time, I was feeling pretty positive on what Facebook has done for me personally.
What does a legal marketer do?
While getting ready for school and work this morning, my 7-year old asked me what I did at work. She knows my office is up really high in the tallest building west of the Mississippi. She knows that I have a really cool white board that she likes to draw on. She knows I work
Politics, Social Networking and Business Development DON’T MIX
