Occupy Wall $treet

Interested in this movement and all that I think it will lead to. Especially concerning Democracy in America. I think the whole world is watching and we are on stage, showing the new democracies of the world how a Democratic system is supposed to work.

Listen

Too much jumping, selling, pushing, solving... before the first and most important piece. Listen. To have such an opportunity to listen, I have met (twitter) great people. Authors, publishers, coaches... programmers and many more. Even with the sad spammers twitter offers a listening post. To add value and share interesting content helps to ensure quality participants will stick and do likewise. With the foundation of "Knowledge Empowers so Learn & Teach", twitter offers a stepping point to this end. About.com also is a place for this as well.

Missing Michael Jackson

I was about 19 when Michael was 9 and I always loved his music so I feel I grew up with Michael. When I got married and had kids my kids loved Michael and did all their little shows to Michael's music as they also grew up with Michael. It is a sad day for our whole family. We love you and we will miss you Michael.

I use twitter to promote my blog

I use the WP to Twitter plugin (available at http://www.joedolson.com/articles/wp-to-twitter/) to promote my blogs: www.mauricinho.org & www.culturalegal.com So that every time that I post something it (the plugin) automatically posts on twitter my post title and the url already shortened. I also use it to try to find relatives by their last name. So far, that's about it. []s.
