Miscellaneous things in your life

If you use Twitter give Seesmic Desktop a test drive.

After reading Chris Brogan's blog entry on Aug 12, titled My Twitter Presence, I realized that there were better tools for keeping track of Twitter and other Social Media than what I was currently using. 

Service with a Smile

After spending half a year in England, I was excited to move up to Cedar Falls for the summer. Exploring the town for the first time in months, I was hugely disappointed. The reason for my disappointment? The Cedar Falls Taco Bell on University Avenue was closed.

Tools you should be using... Speedfiler and SnagIt.

There are a ton of tools out there to help small business owners stay organized, communicate better, and be more efficient.  Here are two of my favorites I think everyone should check out.

The folks at Kauffman (yes, of the Royals ballpark vintage) always seem to have the latest on entrepreneurial stats.  This one doesnt suprise me in the least, and actually encourages me that entrepreneurship is alive and very well.

New Disaster Preparedness Website

Friday-palooza 5/21/10

Pretty much every other blog I try to read has some sort of friday link-o-mania.  Some are pretty entertaining, others I find a bit drab.  I'm hoping to aim for a little more of the former and a little less of the later.  With that as a back drop, here are a few thoughts on the week that was - in terms of small business news and notes, sure, plus a fewstray cats thrown in as well.

Is Your Website Up?

 Do you know if your website is up and running?  Most people just assume their site is working.  Unfortunately, that is not always a safe assumption.  I recently worked with a client who forgot to pay his yearly web hosting ...

Take time to Complete your Census Report!
