DISQUS

LOL!!! Thanks 4 sharing ;~D

Regional tourism efforts are creating big $$$ for many communities suffering huge budget deficits. Utilizing new media networks is just good business and the sooner they begin to learn and utilize, the sooner they'll see a return on that investment. Bloggers as visitors or consumers are only one group that could prove lucrative for tourism efforts.

As budgets tighten, people able to travel for business or leisure want easy access to all resources, value for every dollar and best available experience. Creating a comfort zone for every traveler, blogs, maps, resource listings, COUPONS, events & business listings, this is a massive market ready for an upgrade!

Thanks for reminding us to connect during these difficult days. I've repeated so many times recently to friends, family and associates "We have to stick together, support each other, now more than ever." Our social media networks are so valuable right now, and I'm more than happy to meet new people and support their efforts.

Keep the faith!

OMG, how could we possibly fight that logic?!? If only life were that simple!

People in many urban environments have transportation choice. In rural America, many people have no choice in how to get to work other than driving long distances. This is where telecommuting is a best option, having long term positive results on many levels. Employers may have to consider this to keep employees...

Loved this post but have internal conflicts here, Chris.

In branding oneself, is it possible to close doors that otherwise would be open if there was just a hint of mystery, an invitation to ask more? I work in several niches, plus fantasy is a foundation for one of them. I'd love to hear suggestions about how to brand yourself in a way that doesn't limit you "shapeshifting" into a new specialty, while maintaining your integrity across the board.

Any thoughts, Chris? I'll be waiting...
Have a great weekend!

I'd love to win a 30 or 60 minute Q&A session to ask tech questions. I'm a very creative person able to see concepts and final product but challenged how to think thru tech issues and implementation. Help would be extremely valuable! Thanks for letting me share ;~)

Very good read this morning, but have a question. Has anyone ever done a study of the environmental cost of the US Elections process? Not only is it a horrible waste of time and public dollars, but the environmental cost is shameful! Talk about a carbon footprint ;~(

Thanks for your continuing efforts to share green news!

Thank you, Gary! You touched my heart with your words today. I think back to how my grandmother ran a business for 50 years, watching the pennies, living with integrity in everything she did. Your legacy is truly greater than any currency!

Have a blessed weekend!

absolutely believe you are hitting the mark with the 80/20, now how to get other sectors to start getting on board with this... relationships are the key, and can be strong and lift everyone up when they're good, yet apathy is a killer! Wish we could bottle YOU and send special delivery to wake up those uninformed about how great things could be! Thanks, Gary!!!

Gary, you know I'm with you on the GREEN! Love your energy ;-) Great to be part of @verygreenteam
