Steve Jobs: Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven, but Nobody Wants to Die.
As we remember Steve Jobs this morning for his contributions to the world I can’t help but feel that something huge is missing. Did Jobs waste his life?

It hasn’t even been 24 hours since Mark Zuckerberg (or Zucky as I call him) announced some big changes coming to Facebook.

Easter 2011 Campaigns
Easter is upon us and we are all thinking the same thing – those 2-a-year-timers are a-comin’. So, I was interested to hear from you on ways you are reaching out to your community to invite them to Easter. What are you doing this year? Is there a new approach to the message you’re taking? Is there a campaign that could inspire others? Are you taking advantage of social media or web strategies to invite people?
