Just five days after I posted the previous "Google+'s Biggest Advantage over Facebook" blog, I initiate a Hangout to learn more about Hangouts features. I video chat with the other two members of the Vauxite team:+Kristin Llamas, +Joe Abraham and even a friend who lives in London joins in...

As someone who lives and works online, I was eager to try out Google+ the moment it launched. I held out longer than most to join Facebook and didn't get an account intending to share personally, but more to familiarized myself with Facebook for clients needs. I understood it's power for businesses, and building and maintaining relationships with customers. Same with Twitter. But even though I was drawn in out of necessity, I couldn't help but to start sharing my life over both services...

As discussed in Part 1, How can Social Media help grow my Business?, Twitter can be an extremely valuable asset to your company. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is used to describe the act of optimizing your companies chances of showing up on the front page of search results. People unfamiliar with how Google works sometimes believe this process only relates to the website itself. Unfortunately, adding some code and key words doesn't go as far as it used to.

When we sit down with a client, one of the first questions we ask them is, "What is the status of your Social Media campaign?". More often than not, we discover that the client has done little in terms of social media marketing. Companies spend money left and right advertising on radio, television and even print. But with the introduction of Social Media, many of companies have "fallen behind the eight-ball" in terms of advertising and marketing. Social Media Marketing is about more than having people "like" you on Facebook, or "follow" you on Twitter- and that is why are writing this series!

Franklin, Tennessee is a charming southern town. It is the type of town that you can just park your car and walk around for hours. You can cool off with some frozen yogurt at Sweet Cece's in the Summer or grab a slice at the Mellow Mushroom if your feelin funky! It's places like the Franklin Mercantile Deli and Dotson's that have given the town that unique feeling of home for Vauxite. But the town always seemed like it was missing something...

Being a crack musician, when I opened up my computer and found the Les Paul Google Doodle Guitar on Google's homepage (say that 5 times fast!) I immediately thought "Wow this is awesome!" I started out with a rendition of Come As You Are by Nirvana. Then I did Adam's song by Blink 182 (click here to hear it). I thought to myself this is so appropriate for Nashville. Forget how much work productivity went down all over the world, I'm surprised the Music City didn't come to a screeching halt. As the day progressed and I mixed web design work with monitoring the Google Doodle Guitar news feed it became apparent people really got into this. So, I thought I would share some of the best ditties I heard come out of the doodle…

I just read an article that told how companies like HP are willing to sell printers at a 30% discount. Sounds great right? The problem is that to make up for it, the same companies are selling replacement cartridges at 1000% markup. HP printer sales also makes 3 times the amount of their computer sales. Kodak printers on the other hand produce the highest quality images, while selling ink at a quarter of what the competitors do. Read the article here.

Using keyboard shortcuts can greatly increase your productivity, reduce repetitive strain, and help keep you focused. For example, highlighting text with the keyboard and pressing Ctrl + C is much faster than taking your hand from the keyboard, highlighting the text using the mouse, clicking copy from the file menu, and then putting your hand back in place on the keyboard...
