Two great new sites
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008Yotify — aggregation of your favorite sites — you plug in your search criteria and they do all the work from your favorite sites like Craigslist, LinkedIn, Flickr, and Shopping.com.

Follow me on Twitter

Power to the Influencer
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Jeffrey Gitomer has something good to note this week: A power influencer is: Smart. A person who can reason, and be reasonable.

I believe it now : Water
