6 Tips to Use Facebook for Your Business

Yesterday all the major news websites announced that  Facebook has passed Fox,  Ebay and Amazon on its way to the respectable fifth place in the Top 50  U.S. web properties list. More and more small business owners and advertisers seem to understand the power of social media marketing and divert some of their attention and budgets towards this relatively new medium. However, many of us just don’t know how to approach these tools and how to utilize them best for our business. As an early adapter, I have joined Facebook almost immediately after it allowed general public access, but it was only around 18 months ago that I began to understand its power and to study its business capabilities.

Phoenix Real Estate - A New Drama? (Part 2)

After my previous post about the new anti-deficiency laws in Arizona, many readers asked me if I can provide more detailed explanation as to how these laws may affect them as investors or potential investors. Well, as Adiel Gorel suggested in his post, I googled the term "SB 1271", and came up with this post by Christie Giannetto from Arizona Lifestyle Team, who sheds some light on the suggested implications of these laws and provides an interesting view of her own as to what should an investor with a negative equity do in the new situation.

We Are Building a Religion

"Cake" is one of my favorite bands and their unique style is suitable for almost any occasion. I came across their song "Comfort Eagle" a few years ago, while I was engaged in establishing our start-up, www.Meijob.com. Not paying too much attention to the lyrics, I hummed the music for a few months like a mantra. Only then, I realized that this song is exactly (ok, not EXACTLY, but close enough) what we were doing at the time - building a religion:

We are building a religion,
We are building it bigger
We are widening the corridors and adding more lanes
We are building a religion.
A limited edition
We are now accepting callers for these pendant keychains
To resist it is useless,
It is useless to resist it
His cigerratte is burning but it never seems to ash
He is grooming his poodle
He is living comfort eagle
You can meet at his location but you'd better come with cash

Now his hat is on backwards. He can show you his tattoos
He is in the music buisness he is calling you "DUDE!"

Now today is tomorrow and tomorrow's today
And yesterday is weaving in and out
And the fluffy white lines that the airplane leaves behind
Are drifting right in front of the waning of the moon

He is handling the money. He's serving the food
He knows about your party. He is calling you "DUDE!"

Now, do you believe in the one big sign?
The double wide shine on the boot hills of your prime
Doesn't matter if you're skinny. Doesn't matter if you're fat.
You can dress up like a sultan in your onion-head hat

We are bulding a religion. We are making a brand
We're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
Take a bit of this apple, Mr. Corporate Events
Take a walk through the jungle of cardboard shedies and tents
Some people drink pepsi. Some people drink coke. (coke)
The wacky morning d.j. says democracy's a joke.

He says now, "Do you believe in the one big song?"
He's now accepting callers who would like to sing along
He says, "Do you believe in the one true edge?"
By fastening your saftey belts and stepping towards the ledge

He is handling the money. He is serving the food.
He is now accepting callers. He is calling me "DUDE!"

Do you believe in the one big sign?
The double wide shine on the boot hills of your prime.
There's no need to ask directions if you ever lose your mind
We're behind you. We're behind you.
And let us please remind you
We can send a car to find you
If you ever lose your way

We are bulding a religion...
We are bulding it bigger...
We are building............... a religion.......
A limited edition
We are now accepting callers for these beautiful pendant keychains
