"Time after Time....Is Time a Manageable Asset or a MYTH?

More on the Power of Social Media

In a previous Post, June 1, 2009 I mentioned my re-associating with a long time

now classed as Social media.

Because of our memberships in such sites as Facebook, Twitter,
Linkedin, and You Tube


Jim and I have re-connected and are beginning to Share our talents with others. Each of us have developed "Followers" of our respective Vocations and talents and since we have a basic Like-Mind others seem to gravitate to our respective work.

So through the Power of Social Media a Thought was delivered globally in just a few minutes to several thousand people of possible Like-Mind.
