It's impossible to keep up with all the latest marketing information. So, consider our Reading Room a resource. You'll find links to our blog, articles, and more on the left side of our website. What's new? A quick and easy way to visualize your social network or read some new articles on social media
We add new material all the time. Keep up with it all through an RSS feed. Not sure what that is? Check out the video What is RSS?

Introducing Bizbits (TM) on Twitter
If you haven't tried Twitter yet, now's your chance. Faster
and possibly more fun than blogging, Twitter allows you to keep in
touch by answering the simple question, "What are you doing?" And you
can follow someone else's Tweets as well.
Get a free Twitter account, and you'll have access to Bizbits -- my regular marketing tips, info and workshops -- via Web or phone.
After signing up, search for blockbeta, and choose follow.
Want to learn more about Twitter? Take the Introducing Twitter class being offered through Biznik on September 9th for $55. You'll need a free Biznik account first, before you can sign up.
