Make sure your hosts can contact you
I cannot say this enough. Make sure your hosts can contact you. I just had a situation with a client where their email suddenly stopped working. She had many email accounts and only one stopped. After several hours and many emails back and forth with me, we were both baffled and she was frustrated. Then […]
If you are thinking about connecting your TV to the web
Last post I mentioned that thought “connected TVs” would limit your choices too much. This looks like an interesting little box running android. Just a browser and media player. All you really need Disclaimer: I haven’t tried this box myself, but the specs look good. I had Android 2.2 on my phone and it’s pretty […]
Don’t buy a “connected” TV (yet)

Building a social media course
Currently I’m building a series of social media classes designed to help businesses who want to get into social marketing. Things like facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ can be very useful, but also very intimidating for businesses. My idea is to have a series on ongoing classes that will help businesses improve their market and […]
Help for non-profit organizations from Google
If you know anyone who is running a non-profit organization you probably things are just as tough for them, or maybe more, as the rest of us. Google has been offering non-profits free advertising for quite some time, but many don’t realize it. I had even forgotten about it until I saw this post. You […]
Is there a natural order of promotion
Someone in one of my groups on LinkedIn asked “what is the best way to allocate (promotional) resources?” Asking how best to allocate their limited resources (time and $$) I answered and thought I’d share it here, you may have heard this before. Start with the free stuff. There are some good ones http://www.lillicotch.com/Blog/?s=marketing When […]
Hatteras 2011
Another wonderful week on Hatteras Island. The weather fine, the waves were very rideable and nothing to do, but relax.
Everyday lessons on security
I went to a BLX Luncheon today. The Pittsburgh Business Leads Exchange is a great networking group that I highly recommend. Today’s speakers were addressing security, something I have a keen interest in. First, John McCool spoke about ID theft and there were some interesting ideas. John’s talk got the next speaker Paul Gatto of […]
