Starting April 21st we will be doing a weekly post for a Phoenix social follow of the week. Every Tuesday at 9am we will announce a social media account in Phoenix that we think you should be following. It could be someone on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Yelp, Pinterest, Meerkat, Vine or Snapchat. Ok, the chances we announce a Snapchat account are very unlikely. Yes, I have a Snapchat account, but I don't think I have logged into it more than twice and have never posted. So unless we hire an … [Read more...]
Twitter for People that don’t “get” Twitter
I'm uncomfortable with anyone referring to me as an expert, unless it has to do with cereal or cheap red wine ”“ which is why I feel a little funny writing a post titled “Twitter for People that don't get Twitter”.

Revisiting: A life-altering moment. Putting things in perspective.
Jay's note: This week last year I came upon a horrific accident scene that I was certain involved my only son, thankfully we had the help from experts such as the Car Accident Lawyers Brisbane to get us a compensation which was needed to pay the medical bills. Shortly after I wrote this someone, I can't remember who now, said I should revisit it in a year. So here it is. "Personally, I'm going to make a concerted effort to stop taking things for granted.
