Do You Know Mari Smith, Queen of Social Media?
You should know Mari and follower her on twitter @marismith
I met Mari Smith this Fall at two events. The 21st Century Book Marketing Event in San Diego and BlogWorld Expo in Las Vegas.
Mari Smith is one of the most sincere individuals I have ever met. She genuinely cares about everyone she meets and certainly made me feel special.
This will make you laugh..I had my new iphone at the event in San Diego and I was having trouble with my Tweets showing up with #21BME at the event..I had stepped in some Cosmic Cow Pies with Twitter... Mari was more than happy to help me in the rest room try and solve the issue. She had her turquoise iphone and I had my purple phone and we did figure it out.

Thanks for the info Carra. I am so intimidated by Twitter and all that stuff, I can barely keep up with facebook and I have really pushed myself to blog on AR as much as time allows. Another interesting person to follow!
