JMC Compassionate Care
I just put the finishing touches on JMC Compassionate Care‘s new Website! Renee Cereby and I met at one of my talks on Social Media and she revealed that she decided to start her own Home Care Service for Seniors in Bucks County. She didn’t have a Website and needed one ASAP! We sat down and I took her through a number of different design ideas. Once we had a design chosen, we sat down in front of iStockphoto and picked 3 images that spoke to her. I then sent her over to Mr. Frank Pronesti at Heirloom Studios to get a...

I love Vonage! I love Google Voice! And I found they play very well together. Here’s how I have it set up: I use Vonage for my home phone and Google Voice for my business. What this means is I give out my Google Voice number as my “business” number. When someone dials my Google Voice business number, the call is automatically forwardd to my Vonage number and cell phone. And as of just a few days ago, the call can be answered via Gmail! When I want to make an outbound business call, instead of just picking up the phone...
read moreGoogle Voice Caller ID in Gmail
I’ve been using Google Voice for about a year now. It was by far the easiest way of getting a second number without paying a dime! As much as I loved Google Voice, I wanted enhanced functionality… specifically I’ve wanted the ability to see who’s calling me by getting a little pop up caller ID window on my computer screen. It seemed like such an easy thing but I couldn’t make it happen. I tried jury rigging stuff but nothing worked quite right and I eventually just gave up. But then just the other day Google...

I just had two friends recently contact me because out of nowhere Facebook cancelled their accounts! Neither know why it occurred. They can’t seem to get any type of answer from Facebook and now they are struggling to rebuild their profiles from scratch. Hearing their woes got me thinking… we back up our hard drives, why not Facebook? I did some searching and found an application that backs up Facebook! It’s called Social Safe. And the best part? It only costs 2.99! How can you say no to that? I downloaded it and it...

Premier Personal Care specializes in Senior Home Care in Bucks County. Dave, Premier Personal Care’s director, and I bumped into each other over and over again over a series of months. Whether it was business card exchanges or networking events, we always seemed to crash into each other. It was after a couple of our crazy collisions that he confided in me how dissatisfied he was with his Website and how he had dreams of rebuilding it. I never like to pounce on people so I would just listen and nod. It took time but eventually, one...
read moreMy Top 12 Favorite Android Apps
I have a HTC Hero. I took it over to the Sprint store the other day to get the Android OS upgraded since I couldn’t seem to get it to download on it’s own. The Sprint clerk grabbed my phone and tossed it to the guys in back and told me to come back in an hour. I got the HTC Hero back in October and I loaded up on a ton of free apps. Some of of the apps I used regularly. Most of the apps just sat ignored. After an hour, I went back to the Sprint Store and they gave me back my upgraded phone. Stupidly, I didn’t check to...

read moreHide Friends, Pages, Applications from your Facebook Newsfeed
One of the things that came up on during my Social Networking Etiquette to Business Success presentation was a question on how to graciously defriend people on Facebook. I suggested instead of defriending someone, instead hide them from your newsfeed. OR if the person is sending out way too many game announcements and updates, hide the game applications. No one seemed to be aware that this was possible. Here are the steps to those who want to start hiding people, pages and applications from their Facebook...
read moreYelp Demographics
I have been an advocate of Yelp.com for quite some time. One of the first things I did when I started my business is I claimed my Yelp listing! And now as I help my clients create amazingly powerful digital footprints on the Internet, one of the things I do is help them claim and trick out their own Yelp listing. At any rate, Yelp sends out great newsletters and the one that came in yesterday had some amazing demographic information on their users that I had to share with you: …when it comes down to a prime demographic for...
