Mr. President, Washington and Franklin thank you! 
 
By:  Mark Segal


 

When President Obama signed the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," he might have felt the ghosts of Founding Fathers George Washington and Benjamin Franklin smiling over his shoulder. They might have even whispered in his ear, "It's about time."

 

History clearly recalls that the Revolutionary Army was a rag-tag band of men with little to no military training. We fumbled through the beginning of the war of independence with lack of training, conduct and organization. Washington knew that, without help, the Colonies would lose. Since Washington himself was the best this nation had, he looked to Europe for someone who could bring order to the troops. To that end, Washington wrote the Colonies' representative in Paris at the time, Franklin, to see what he could find.

Social Media and the

Importance of Old-Fashioned

Story Telling


By Matthew Skallerud

A year ago, I was telling folks that sooner rather than later, there would be several thousand social media marketers out there and that this still wouldn't be enough to service the needs of businesses large and small seeking to tap into social media marketing as an integral part of their company's 21st century marketing strategy.  It's safe to say I was right, but that was an easy one to predict.  The same phenomenon happened in the mid-90s when every company realized at some point along the way that they needed a website, only to find thousands of web

designers from which to choose from.  Many call this era the "Internet's Wild West," where anyone who could put together some HTML code was able to charge anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, often for the same quality of website.
