Social Schmoozing

I recently attended the Inbound Marketing Summit in Boston. I had been looking for Guy’s session online, but haven’t been able to find it. However, the video attached is a very close representation to what he talked about when I saw him. It is valuable for business and in life. Cheers to crows feet!

My sincerest apologies for not posting here in awhile. I have been knee deep in working on couple new websites fro EDR and getting married. As such, I was much too busy to do something as selfish as blogging. Anyways, the following idea from Warren Buffet was in my In-Box 8 times this morning. 8 times over night? I would call that viral…wouldn’t you? Another example of invaluable content is truly king. Lesson: Don’t just post for the sake of posting, think about your brand and what is valuable to the end users. If you do that and create value…you win.

Here is Warren Buffet’s great idea. Please share and pass it along if you agree. Happy Halloween everyone!

Subject: another good idea from Warren Buffet
Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the
best quotes about the debt ceiling:
“I could end the deficit in 5 minutes,” he told CNBC. “You just
pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more
than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible
for re-election”.

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds)
took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple!
The people demanded it. That was in 1971 – before computers, e-mail,
cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year
or less to become the law of the land – all because of public pressure.

Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to
a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask
each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will
have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed
around.

_*Congressional Reform Act of 2011*_

1. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no
pay when they’re out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social
Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the
Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into
the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the
American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all
Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and
participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the
American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void
effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this
contract with Congressmen/women.

Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in
Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their
term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will
only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive
the message. Don’t you think it’s time?

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete.
You are one of my 20+ – Please keep it going, and thanks.

Social Media is not a tool for young people to interact. Want proof? Noodle on this fine document.
