Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo

I grew up not too far from this Landmark in San Luis Obispo, California, the Madonna Inn! CLICK on the picture to see the entire experience!

Here are a few fun readngs for today:

“Facebook co-founder whose social-media campaign helped Barack Obama take the White House launched a “social network for social activism” website Tuesday called Jumo. Chris Hughes hopes his new venture will succeed where others have failed: in getting Internet users to shell out hard cash for causes.”

“…Back in April, LinkedIn launched several new sharing options, making it easier for users to attach links to status updates, with the ability to re-share links as well as edit and delete posts. With the addition of the share button, LinkedIn has pretty much caught up with Facebook when it comes to content sharing options. Of course, the competition is strong; many publishers already employ Facebook, Digg , Twitter , StumbleUpon  and other sharing buttons. The question is whether LinkedIn users are avid enough sharers, at least to the degree that it pays off to publishers to spend valuable real estate on their pages to include the LinkedIn sharing button.”

“The statistics indicate that small businesses with corporate blogs receive 55% more web traffic than small businesses that don’t blog. That’s why it is so important for companies to explore the possibility of adding blogs to their marketing and social strategies.Blogging isn’t just writing posts. You have to choose images for your posts, monitor your blogging platform and analytics, market your blog and constantly think about new post ideas.”
