  (Rocky Turner) Mothers Fighting for Others on TQ Radio

  Posted on October 29, 2009 by Diane in 3 inspiration, 5 life

  Originally printed in the TwitterQueens.ning.com blog: I have spoken to Rocky Turner a couple of times over the past few weeks, and to say that her strength is an inspiration would be an understatement. To say that I am blown away by how she (and her husband) manage to raise six children (hands on- I [...]

  “Hello, am I catching you at a bad time?”

  Posted on October 22, 2009 by Diane in social media

  Do you want to know why some sales people are struggling?  Because they are believing all the whiners, sales snipers, and so called gurus who like to “talk” sales instead of “make” sales.  These “big talkers” are filling everybody’s head with junk! I’ve had enough of hearing people talk about how “prospects like to buy, [...]

  An open letter…

  Posted on October 21, 2009 by Diane in 1 Central MA

  For your information: “The study found that 42 million women in the United States (roughly 53% of the 79 million adult women in the United States who use the Internet) participate in social media at least weekly. As they spend more time with social media, women are spending correspondingly less time with traditional media: 39% [...]

  Transparency…or politeness?

  Posted on October 21, 2009 by Diane in 5 life

  Yesterday on our radio show there was a lot of discussion (some on air and quite a bit in the chatroom which unfortunately isn’t transcribed) about transparency. I had originally heard this term used to describe a real estate transaction, but lately it has been used more broadly to describe a person’s actions, both online [...]

  Another trip… home

  Posted on October 20, 2009 by Diane in 4 real estate, social media

  Well, I am happy to be heading home, but we had a great time in Delaware. Ignite was very cool! Met a lot of people and saw some old friends. Thanks to Bill Lublin for coming to see us- he had to leave early for BlogWorld the next day, but was there to show support. [...]

  Adventures in Ice

  Posted on October 10, 2009 by Diane in 5 life, humor

  I came across this old post of mine while searching for something else today. It is funny how that happens; I had nearly forgotten about the ice storm that we had, and how everything was brought to a standstill around here. Several local high schools were commandeered as emergency shelters for people without water, heat [...]

Our “big brother” [...]

  Playlist from Hell

  Posted on October 5, 2009 by Diane in 1 Central MA

  Tonight’s the night. After having compiled a list of 20 of the worst songs ever, I am going to have a blipfest. First of all, what is Blip? It has been described by at least one (see link above) as twitter for music. and while this is a little true, I would say it is even [...]

  A List of Lists- not exactly One Ring material, but…

  Posted on October 3, 2009 by Diane in twitter

  Lists of good follows for twitter have been floating around lately. There have been many discussions about the validity of these lists, whether a list of followers does anyone any good, and even the motivations behind creating a list. And it is funny how twitter has evolved to be so different from Facebook; I looked [...]
