Social Media There's Still Time

Social Media There's Still Time


Social media is not a train


Social media is not a Airplane

Social media is not a Bus

Contrary to what the some of the big talking heads have said you have not missed the opportunities that social media brings. There will always be another Train, Plane or Bus you may be behind the competition but all it take is time and hard work and you can ketch up.  Here is an outline of the process you need to follow.
  1. Do Something (the answer will never be found in not trying)
  2. Read a book,( Social media Reading list suggestions http://bit.ly/nXvhUk  ) get online and search out the topics you are interested in. (there are great tutorials on line)
  3. Set your goals (what am I trying to accomplish) and how to measure those goals
  4. Choose what your going to tackle first (don't get to many projects all started at once and never finish one)
  5. Make sure your entities are all tied together.(working as one to complement each other)
  6. Worry less about the form and worry more about the function (bad spelling(see ketch up above) poor punctuation and not the prettiest web sites won't stop you from being successful)
A wise man once told me that quitters never win and winners never quit.  Well in that case I would rather WIN

Why Can't free be FREE

Have you ever noticed how everything starts out in life as free.  Even your life starts out as free with your parents footing the bill.  As you grow up even the things that were free are no longer.  one example is public school sports they used to be free, to maintain the freeness they started to add user fees so that if you don't want to play it's still free figure that one out.  It also seems that many other services (to many to mention) start out free and then they hit you with the premium package (and we all know that there is nothing good that's not a premium).  So I have a new idea so all these companies and other entities let's just start calling a duck a duck and stop selling me a duck and trying to tell I bought a goose.  Or better yet stop selling me the free duck then telling me that for a small upgrade I can have the goose package.

A wise man one told me if you teach a man to fish he can feed himself.
If you keeping screwing with people you just going to piss them off.

6 Reasons Why Geeks are Better Lovers

Geeks Are Good At Relationships


1. Geeks Are Sensitive and Loving


Geeks are usually sweet, sensitive, loving people with big hearts. A genuine geek is selfless, and he or she would never intentionally hurt you. A geek has been made fun of before, and he knows what it’s like to be hurt. He has a firsthand understanding of human emotions. He isn’t afraid to show his sensitive side, and can love on a deeper level because of it.



2. Geeks Have Seen It All

Let’s face it, geeks aren’t known for gettin some on Saturday night; however, they are known for watching Internet porn. There is a very good chance that your seemingly innocent geek guy has seen it all… online. As a result, he’s not going to think it’s strange when you want to bust out with some fun toys, some kinky movies, or even a playful friend. If he’s a gamer geek, he may even be used to role-playing, and he will probably be open to that too. Geeks have great imaginations and are very passionate. You can definitely use this to your advantage.



3. Geeks Don’t Cheat

Your geek guy probably wonders how the heck he was able to get you in the first place, and he’s certainly not going to do anything to jeopardize your relationship. Besides, it takes a hell of a lot of energy and social skills to maintain an affair for any length of time. Your geek will most likely prefer to put that extra energy elsewhere, into something much more productive.

4. Geeks Put You First

Loyalty is very, very important to most geeks. Once a geek loves you, unless you do something foolish to lose trust, he or she will always love you. Geeks are typically creative, and as Misty pointed out in her recent 5 Traits of Creative People article, creative people like challenges. Geeks are typically good problem solvers.
Your geek will most likely want to be with you until you end it someday. He or she will put you first, and it might very well be one of the most fulfilling relationships you’ve ever had. Geek love is a special kind of love, full of child-like innocence and honesty. According to Jean Carroll, Elle magazine’s love and sex advice columnist, “A geek is an excellent provider and a guy who puts you first. He’ll turn out to be a great father and a great husband.“







5. Geeks Are Inherently Romantic

Many geeks haven’t been in a lot of relationships. Whereas the jock guy might think it’s a pain-in-the-butt to buy you roses or leave you love notes, a geek guy appreciates these opportunities and looks forward to them. I know geek girls that spend months planning the perfect Valentine’s evening for their guy. Geeks love romance and adventure, and they are always excited to make you happy with an unexpected surprise. It’s never a bother or a burden for them.



6. Geeks Have Big Brains

Scientists, family therapists and psychologists all agree that our brain is the most important sexual organ. We all know that geeks have big brains. Because of that, even though they are many times naive and a bit inexperienced, they have an strong sense of self-confidence. Deep down, they know they are smart and they’ve got the goods. They aren’t going to be sucking in their stomach or staring in the mirror making sure they look perfect. They are already confident with themselves, and their focus is on you. You are the very lucky king or queen in your geek’s eyes. Don’t be afraid to get involved with any of us geeks. The experience might, just might, surprise you.
