Time Management for Twitter: Social Media Series Part 3






In the world of posting whatever, when ever, there is a lot to be said about quality time with Twitter. Twitter can be utilized in a multitude of ways. Any user can post updates about news, links, promotions, events, topics of interest, engage in customer support and participate in online discussions. As an individual or business, you need to decide how you will engage in this forum.

If you have over 100 people you are following, it can be difficult to keep track of the latest updates as twitter is an active stream of personal opinion, back and forth discussions and buzz about thoughts or activities. . . .

Time Management for Facebook: Social Media Series Part 2




When exploring the world of social media you will find that it is easy for the social sites to claim time you have allocated to work. It is best to put into practice time allocation to optimize your online schedule. With Facebook, you have probably connected to family, friends, coworkers, business partners and a myriad of other individuals that you find yourself “living life” with online. The ability to visit their pages to view pictures, post comments on their status updates, read notes and view videos; you can quickly become inundated with the absence of time. . . .

You have created your social media presence, your branding is consistent and you find yourself spending hours each day on any given social media site scrolling, searching, reading and posting for hours on end. But the question begs to be asked, is this how the social media world was intended or is there a better way to coordinate your time in these spaces?

Highlights from the QwestQBPP QMarketplace Event 2011

Qwest hosted a wonderful Business Partner show 01/13-01/14. We were grateful to be able to attend this year to reconnect with a few of our customers. It is also great to catch up with those of you who we have known for many years in the industry and meet newer faces.

Qwest was very generous this year and gifted Flip Video cameras to the business partners. We recorded some of our adventure and have for you here.

The hot topic of discussion this year was Cloud Computing. We are excited and curious to see what the business channel does with that product this year.

There was also a lot of buzz about social media which is very exciting for us. It was great to be able to brain storm ideas for agents looking forward to launching a program this year, in addition to hearing the success of such agents as TBI with the social media solution.

We heard a lot of Agents talk about the shift in telecom as we know it. Technology is breathing a new life into this economy and we are glad to be a part of this transition.

Hats off to QBPP for bringing the Partners together with encouragement, enthusiasm and the always funny host.
