(Looking forward to heading down towards the Tippecanoe River and take in a tweetup) I’m actually trying to convince myself to go to bed early so I can get in a fair amount of client work before I head out to Lafayette, IN for their tweetup. I’m looking forward to the event. Not only am […]

But If You’re Going To Plan A TweetUp…
Yesterday I talked about how not every Tweetup Can be planned. My late night consumption of steak tacos and enchiladas is a testament to the spontaneity of Tweetups and other Social Media Events. (#afteraftertweetup shout out to Dave, Josh, and Rich) I love unplanned Tweetups. I get to repaint coffee houses and eat great food […]
Why You Can’t Always Plan a Tweetup

Can Your Business Handle the Drama Caused By a Nail?

Do you know what you’re looking for? You were probably overwhelmed with a mountain of concepts. Keep those business strategies safe and dry […]
My First SEO Boy Post and More Good News to Come. Hopefully
I sent my first post off to the editor at SEO Boy at the end of day yesterday. Except the end of day in Bloomington, IN is an hour earlier than the EOD of Valparaiso, IN. Damned Region CST. A mistake that won’t happen twice. But given the whirlwind, I don’t think anybody minded. Being […]
With TweetUps, the AfterTweetUp Is the One to Attend
We’re getting better with our TweetUps in The Region – Chicago South Suburbs to South Bend. We’ve got a cool one coming up in December – if you like bowling. And Lord help the poor Ghet who doesn’t tie in charity / non-profit when sponsoring our get-togethers. I think #NWITweetUp will grow from a fad […]
