The Daily Krier

At a July 4th family gathering yesterday, my father-in-law was talking about his job (which he is very passionate about).  He’s been with a chemical company for years and even though he turns 70 this year, he’s not slowing down or thinking of retiring.  The topic of social media came up and he said that [...]

The company I work for held a webinar earlier this week and what was interesting to me as we analyzed the registration list was that 3 people heard about it through LinkedIn and 1 person heard about it after one of our employees posted it on her Facebook page.  The past couple of webinars have [...]

I received an email today listing several upcoming webinar opportunities on the topic of social media.  One in particular appealed to me so I clicked through to the registration page where I entered the standard information (name, title, company, # of employees, etc.).  When I got to the end of the registration form there was [...]

A few months back Andrew and I purchased a pre-owned Ford Freestyle (not my dream car, but that’s not the point of this post).  On Friday an envelope arrived in the mail from the dealership where we bought the car.  Inside was a computer-generated coupon that I could give to a friend to encourage them [...]

I was on Facebook around 10 last night and saw that a friend from high school (who married my 2nd cousin, ironically enough) had posted that her father-in-law passed away earlier that day.  Knowing that her father-in-law is my father’s first cousin, I thought about picking up the phone and calling my dad to tell him [...]

Yesterday I received an email from my vet’s office wishing my dog, Allie, a happy birthday.  It was a nice gesture considering it’s the vet, but that got me to thinking about them being involved in social networking.  I checked out their website and it wasn’t bad, but

I called Portrait Innovations the other day to schedule an appointment for my younger son’s first birthday pictures.  I’ve been there before and the big draw is the $9.99 portrait package as well as the fact that you get your pictures within about 15 minutes.  I’ve also gone to the Sears Portrait Studio and what [...]

OK, so blogging about celebrities on Twitter has now resulted in 3 blog posts.  I seriously wasn’t thinking I’d add 2 more after the initial one.  Anyway, I just saw on Mashable tonight that Ashton Kutcher has now hit 2 million followers (and no, I’m not one of the 2 million).   That’s great for him but just [...]

Last week I blogged about following a musician on Twitter, and I’m sure everyone has heard about Ashton Kutcher’s wager with CNN and Oprah finally joining Twitter.  Just this morning I heard that Kimora Lee Simmons had her third baby over the weekend, and that she tweeted both during labor and shortly after the baby [...]

About a week ago I started following a musician on Twitter who’s pretty well known.  I tend not to follow celebrities as I view Twitter as more of a resource-sharing tool and, thus, am looking for interesting tweets from others who point out great articles or other helpful information.  In this case, however, I decided [...]
