Next Big Thing, Episode 2: Alex Baker
Recently I sat down with Alex Baker, Chief Executive at Infinistorm. Alex has a passion for technology and every time I speak with him I learn about new ways businesses can leverage technological advances. As I caught up with Alex in a very noisy coffee shop, he was very excited to talk about “virtualization”. While large corporations have taken advantage virtualization for several years, it is now a viable alternative for smaller businesses, which make up the core of both Alex’s (and our) clientele. Some of the advantages Alex highlights are: Energy savings Increased...
read moreSocial Media at 25 and 50
One of the most contentious issues in social media today is age. Whether it’s saying folks over 40 are too old to “get” social media, or implying 20-somethings lack the strategic background necessary to get that coveted social media ROI, the great age debates can be brutal.

read moreTime to Review Spending, Again
Two and half years ago, as the economy was beginning to cycle down, I read an article by Susan Cramm. She suggested : It’s not what we earn, it’s what we keep. Spend wisely, and your dollars will go a lot further than you think. She argued we had probably outsourced too much and that we needed to find a balance between productivity and loss of control. Living within our means personally, might mean mowing our own lawns and cleaning our own homes.
