Launched in April 2009 by J.R.

There is a saying about three different magnificent cities I have lived in twice. “If If you are smart,

I did a presentation about the use of Social Media to a great group of people who mostly are different kinds of service professionals (attorneys, accountants, consultants, etc.). You can see examples like eLearning Learning which gets more traffic than my eLearning blog. Other Thoughts Common questions I get at the end of a presentation like this are: Where can I go to get help getting going? Where do I find out more about getting going?
