Is Being on LinkedIN Good for Selling?

Yes.  Yes it is.

The platform has been around longer than dirt.  Not really.  I joined in 2008 but wasn't part of the LI first gen.  LinkedIn has outlasted many and is truly Business oriented, moving away from the 'recruiter' stigma of the early days.

Today, if you're not on LI, as a business, you're small potatoes', non-existent.  

Happy Friday - One Year Later

Cause you deserve much more than this hole in my chest

'Cause I gave half to them halfway lovers

I left some to them too-drunk summers

Left a piece in the bar with the keys to my car

I know I'm never gettin' it back

I lost a lot to that whiskey sippin'

I gave the rest to that rockstar livin'

Take all of me, but there's one thing missin'

Baby, I can't give you what don't belong to me

It's been a long time coming but reading it today is a bit nostalgic and 'analog'.

"Scanning" Is Back?

As the Managed Print Services renaissance continues, the mundane and taken for granted "scan-once-print many" feature is also finding revived popularity AND relevance.

Who knew?
