Wow!! Twitter is one of my best business friends. I don’t know what I would do in my business if I didn’t have Twitter. I have made over $7500 in clients business since July of 2008 as a result of Twitter. I have a ghostwriter, several joint venture partners, and clients from twitter. I use Twitter to promote various events. I learn about new tech tools and twitter tools. I have been quoted in 2 very successful books as a result of Twitter. Lastly, I use it to build relationships with my colleagues and potential joint venture partners.

Let me know if you would like to join one of my Twitter Parties where I teach business owners how to leverage the hidden power of Twitter.

This is a really good post concerning Twitter. I’m with you in that I didn’t really see what all the hoo-haa was about, until I joined in. I use it for business, to post health and fitness tips. It works for me.

One of the most important advantages of outsourcing businesses is that it helps to increase a company’s flexibility. However, several sources have different ways in which they perceive organizational flexibility. Therefore business process outsourcing enhances the flexibility of an organization in different ways.

I just started using the Isagenix 30-day cleansing & fat-burning system on October 30. I haven’t felt any different yet as I don’t feel any thinner. However, I am going to measure myself for the 2nd time tomorrow. I measured myself for the first time on the 8th day.

I am going to start being under a doctor’s care in the near future who specializes in Spinal Care Analysis because he found that I have a lot of things going on within my body and it is possible that my body just isn’t ready to absorb the superior nutrition of Isagenix. We both believe that this may be why I am not experiencing results as quickly as others who have started this program.

So, I was wondering what other information you wanted to send me.

Thank you.

Comment on Take The Flintstone Challenge… by EMPEROR SNAPPER (Joe)

“Don’t knock it, there are definite advantages to technology or I wouldn’t even be writing letters to people at all.”
I could not agree more with Capri.

Meeting Simone was delightful and I owe that chance to broken technology. Simone, I found your blog so well written that it was worth the wait. We engaged in conversation the day that we met that would not probably have taken place if the intranet in my dealership was not down.

Sitting across from Simone in the quite comfort of our waiting room at Acura of Pembroke Pines was a luxury that I don’t often indulge in.
I soon realized how engaging and funny Simone was but I had no idea that she was so talented a writer.

She surprised me when she left me a message in my voice mail a few days ago to let me know that she had finally finished the blog. She actually practices what she preached, a rare occurrence these days.

Capri, I am with you all the way, I want more technology but only to enhance our lives. I have stopped emailing (if this is a verb) anyone who sends me “fw:” as a mean to communicate their feelings. I am fortunate to have big hands and big fingers which make it very difficult to “text messaging” I would be the guilty one to preferably would want to pick the phone and just call and if it is the wrong time (which I always ask by the way) and I know, I am calling a close friend, a family member, and associate, I am prepare to hear “hey Joe could you call me back or could I call you the minute I am free”. (Some friends or family members, can mean days.) (LOL)

Simone, you have a captivated reader.

Don’t knock it, there are definite advantages to technology or I wouldn’t even be writing letters to people at all. The computer with a screen-reader enables you to correspond with people and write documents, invoices etc. and receive same, even if you don’t have good eyesight. It doesn’t cost money to send an email or a Facebook message. It does cost to send a hand-written or typed letter by post, and it does cost long distance to call somebody in Chicago when you live in California.

It is nice to talk to friends and family in person, but people are difficult to get hold of by phone or else the time just isn’t right when the call comes in. So, to avoid the risk of inconveniencing someone, it’s just better sometimes to send them an email that is not a chain letter forward of course, but a note typed up by you. It’s certainly a better method than trying to make a well-timed phone call across the world.

In the days of lower-tech, I had to rely on cassettes for my music collection, including stuff I needed for my work. Then it was cds. Now, thanks to mp3 players and ipods, one doesn’t have to lug a huge pile of cds or cassettes around when travelling if they prefer their own music collection to whatever comes on the radio. Just an ipod that fits in a pocket can hold my music and that includes what I listen to for pleasure and what I need to review for my job.

As for people sending chain letters, the old postage variety has pretty much died out, but it is unfortunate the internet is full of them in any form imaginable. Don’t blame technology for that one, blame laziness and especially gullibility.
