Tech. Ed and Other Lessons in Life

I admit. I haven't been very good about keeping up with our blog but intend to do a much better job. Although our site is still small, it's growing everyday and there is a lot of work to do and so much to keep up with! Not that I'm complaining. This is all a good thing. And so now we Twitter, click here and we Facebook, click here and we're working on our My Space page. Besides being immersed in the learning curve of the social networking world, I've also heard from lots of old friends, actually meeting some in a week or so when I head to Cape Cod to reunite and catch up. They're excited about the site and hopefully we'll have a few more Massachusetts regions by the time I come back in a couple of weeks.

We are really excited to report that Austin's Tire and Auto in Wilmington has new customers thanks to the ad they have on our site and several other members report selling some stuff and making money. We're excited for them and have no doubt we'll continue to hear more and more stories like that. We have some great new local businesses advertising in Wilmington. Our thanks to Edgerton and Fisher dentistry and Comfortable Soles (great footwear!). And thanks to Matt Scomis, Business Account Executive with Comcast Communications for being our first advertiser in the Lowell area. If you've been keeping up with us you know that we are strong supporters of local businesses. So please frequent our advertisers and let them know you saw them on our site.

I am learning so much as we continue to grow this site and can't tell you how amazing our team is. I'm learning more about the tech. world thanks to Blake and Jeremy of Objective 3 in Carrboro, NC. I'm also learning about the enthusiasm of people despite a difficult economy, the creative ability of people to maintain a quality of life under challenging times and the absolute joy of the simplest things. Post your stuff! Make some money! Support your community. What are you waiting for?
