- 10/18/11 02:46 AM
Google – it’s one heck of a company with so many great ideas and products. Gmail, Google Docs, Google Maps, Calendar, Reader... the list goes on and on! Did you know that Google has a Text Message "Search" feature? Even if you have a web browser on your smart phone, you might find Google's SMS search easier.

anotherme: Rain Barrels and Composters are Becoming More Popular with Home Owners!
- 10/04/11 10:25 AM
I've been noticing that more and more of my neighbors and friends are starting to compost or installing a Rain Barrel. Maybe it's a trend - maybe some folks fancy themselves as a suburban farmer. At my house, I have a garden! So it was a natural progression for me and my husband to start Composting and get a Rain Barrel. We started composting 5 years ago, because we have that famous Georgia red clay soil - and it needed some help! Leaves, grass clippings, coffee grounds, potato and carrot peels, egg shells... you name it - we compost it! … (1 comments)

In working with busy Realtors, I get that question a lot. And sometimes I'm the one who's saying it! Our lives have become a hurry up and wait game!

I honestly think the Real Estate business should be the Poster Child for change! Quick - what are 4-5 big changes you can think of right now?

Over the last 2 years, I’ve heard so many real estate professionals say things like; “I don’t have time for Social Networking”, “How can you get business from social media sites?”, or “I have a website, why do I need a Facebook … (2 comments)

I like Facebook! And I've had a lot of fun getting to know all kinds of new people and friends of my friends. Connecting and networking is what this business is all about! But some people forget that manners and first impressions are even more important when networking in cyberspace.

However, this person didn't include a message with his request stating why we should be friends or how he might know me. Whenever I send out a "Friend Request" to someone that I don't know, I always … (5 comments)

Over the summer months, I've been using my laptop in the evenings to update my Facebook and Twitter accounts. And let me tell you, a laptop is hot! Did you know heat is the probable a cause of some those annoying performance issues, like ‘lockups’. And it might even be the cause of permanent damage. Yikes! What I've learned is that with a laptop, heat issues can be even more of a concern. (now they tell us!) All those heat producing components are tightly arranged inside a small space...so there's not much room for a cooling system. (think tiny exhaust … (6 comments)
