Social Media

Are you active in social media - Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter?

I haven’t been in the past.

After all, just working each day and keeping up with the blogs I write don’t leave me much time for them. And I considered Facebook the realm of much younger adults and kids. We do use it in our business to locate borrowers that have skipped out on us. It is truly amazing what you can find about people from their social media.

My advice: If you’re hiding from creditors, don’t have a Facebook page. Even if you don’t have enough information to directly locate you, your friends will willingly give you up.

Twitter-who has the time I haven’t found anyone interesting enough to follow his or her life on an hourly basis. Not even my kids.

Then there is Linkedin.

I attended a Chamber of Commerce meeting last week where the speaker was a consultant specializing in using Linkedin as a method to promote your business. I was hooked. I sent out email to my contacts and was blown away by how many of them were already on it. The hidden gem is the ability to contact someone you don’t know through your current contacts and their contacts.

So if you have gotten a request from me to join me on Linkedin, I would appreciate you accepting it. If you are not already on it, join. I think you will be able to see the advantages of being a member.

Not Much Going On

It's been a while since I posted anything. No class activities are happening. And the little news I hear from classmates is not all that good.

It seems if we're not falling and breaking something, it's a new cancer scare. Or even the death of a classmate's spouse.

The weather here in Chattanooga hasn't been all that great either.

I know I shouldn't complain after hearing from friends and classmates living in the mid-West or the North.

So, help me out. Send me some good news I can publish.

Even if you believe no news is good news.

WHITE CHRISTMAS in Chattanooga!

WHITE CHRISTMAS in Chattanooga!

Juanita Oliver sent the following e-mail.

YES....we have 7 INCHES here at our house!!   I
measured!!! It's beautiful....the biggest snow storm since 1969!!!  We
are snowed-in!!!!!  If you have photos you'd like others to see send to
Norm below to post on our blog!!  Would be fun to see!!!!

Also if you wish to see photos I made of our condo community in the East Brainerd area of Chattanooga, go to:

and see the pics I made Christmas day. We didn't get snowed in here as our terrain is relatively flat. But if you were in the higher elevations all bets were off.

Harry Hagan "On The Air"

Got an e-mail from Harry Hagan this week. He's still at it. Playing in an RnR band.

From his email:These are just pix of the band, "On The Air." We've been together since '96. We do high-end weddings, corporate stuff, and occasional concerts. It's one of the best bands I've had the great pleasure of working with over the years. We're playing tomorrow night, for instance, for the Savannah debutantes. Sunday night, we'll be playing for all the Atlanta strippers at their annual ball! More info is at www.delbaroni.com
The Stones and what remain of the Beatles are our age, but it still seems almost anachronistic for me to be playing in a RnR band at this age. It's great fun, I must say.
