Taking Off To PubCon 2009
In a few hours I will be on my flight headed to the city that never sleeps, Las Vegas. This isn’t the typical Vegas bachelor party debackle. This trip has a business focus and it will my first trip to PubCon – Search Marketing Conference. My day job is in the real estate sector as a office manager and active agent. The company I manage relies heavily on search rankings and blogging to deliver the company’s marketing message.

The more time I spent online searching for marketing products the more I kept coming across forums.

Everett Expressions set to compete at Nationals
Starting this weekend the National Figure Skating Championships are taken place at Peoria, Illinois. Practices have been going all week and starting on the August 3rd, Washington residents can cheer for a local hopefully, Kylee Berger. Kylee is a member of the Everett Expressions team coached by Anna Carrier.

Timu.com is the niche social networking and sports connectivity site that is taking to social networking into a new realm. Both in lines of social media but also in the realm of team communication. As a sports enthusiast, avid skier, Seahawks season ticket holder, ex harescrambler and desert racer, and former Junior Olympian, I get a lot of pleasure out of talking and sharing experiences with others that have a similar passion, no matter what the sport. That void is what Timu fills and which other social networks cannot provide.

Facebook Status Update & Micro Blogging Experiment
Yesterday while sitting at my desk an idea popped into my head after reading some status updates and which ones generate discussions. A few times I have randomly posted status updates that I knew my friends would instantly jump on the chance to “dis” me on. The most recent was a status update with reference to the video game I play and it really got people’s attention.

The site has been full of neglect
Again I have been busy building website, updating sites to Wordpress 2.7 and putting proposals together and haven’t been blogging like I should. Hopefully that will change soon, or maybe not (don’t know which one is a good thing) and I can get to posting about marketing again.
