Pinterest is basically a virtual pinboard; do you remember those … [Read more...]

It has been awhile since we wrote about eye blogging and the reason I am bringing this up- it seems that people are saying blogging is dead. Just to let you know blogging is not dead, in fact most sites have gone to a blog format and you don't even know about it. Why I am bringing this up now, it just came to my attention through our google … [Read more...]
The big fuss these days are tablets and more specifically the iPad. Did you get one of the New Apple iPad's? We've talked to a number of Eye Care Professionals who say they think they need an app. One of the first questions we ask in return is...."to do what?" Here in Denver, and from what I understand across metropolitan areas around the … [Read more...]
We are often asked why someone should blog. After all, there are close to 165 million blogs by some accounts. What could you possibly add to the cacophony of information out there? The answer is, a lot. Let's start with the fact that no one expects you to be the next Hemingway or Faulkner. No one expects you to be the next David Pogue, Ariana … [Read more...]
Dan Feldman wrote about Pinterest several weeks ago and now Pinterest seems to be the hot new topic for Social Media. Meanwhile, while at SECO, when questioned, many of the attendees at some of my classes were already involved in Pinterest. I wish I knew who all they were, I would have followed them! Pinterest has about 3.3 million users, … [Read more...]
Much has been written about setting up a Facebook page. With over 850 million active members, it's been done just a few times... The subject however keeps coming up.

The other day, I was speaking with an optometrist office manager about their Facebook page. They weren't getting any LIKES and didn't quite know what to put on their page. She had 'tasked' one of the opticians to go on Facebook everyday and but something up. The page was boring and you can't find it. (Another story) they only used 1 resource for … [Read more...]
