Website: Is It Time to Redesign?
August 27, 2008 by Rebekah King · Leave a Comment
I’ve been working with a few companies in the last year as they ask themselves a complicated question: is it time to redesign our website? For some this is an easier answer – their content hasn’t changed in the 2 years since their last redesign, so why bother. Ignorance is bliss, no?
For those of us that know being in business is by no means stationary, the idea of not updating a website for 2, 4, or (gasp) 6 years is appalling. Apalling and Dismaying.
Before you go running away convinced that I’m one of the greedy monsters that want you to pay me $50k for imaginary work (how does something invisible cost SO MUCH??), take a deep breath and read on… Streamline before you Redesign

Orlando, Fla. – Online Labels, Inc., the leader in blank labels for laser and inkjet printers, announces the launch of Cause Related Labeling, a program designed to provide all qualifying non-profit organizations and charitable causes nationwide with free labels. The effort will assist all types of organizations that use printable labels in their everyday operations such as special events, branding, fundraising efforts, direct mailings and administrative purposes.
In three days since the program’s inception, OnlineLabels.com has honored the requests of over 15 different charitable causes, donating approximately 10,000 labels. These organizations include Habitat for Humanity, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Child Abuse Prevention Association, Autism Society of America and The Georgia Writers Association. For an updated list, visit http://www.onlinelabels.com/ol_helped.htm.
“I heard that OnlineLabels.com was a great place to buy labels, so when I received an email from them I checked out their site and noticed they were offering to donate labels to non-profit organizations,” said Jeanne Powers, founder of Handicapped Friends Pen Pals Club. “I was a little skeptical, but filled out the request anyway. I was so blown away when I got a response telling me they were sending the labels I asked for.”

New Technology: The Advantage of being a Slow Adopter
June 3, 2008 by Rebekah King · Leave a Comment
It’s been a longstanding fact that I self-label myself a geek when it comes to social networking. I’m a big believer in the power of the internet and in the transparency of the individual: meaning that I believe the more the internet allows private lives to become public, the less one can hide the reality of who they are.
If you’re a jerk, now the whole world knows it.
If you’re a nice person with jerk tendencies, now the whole world knows it.
Ping.fm: Twitter-ish tool of wonders
June 1, 2008 by Rebekah King · Leave a Comment
I succumbed to the twitter peer pressure about 3 months ago, not quite knowing why. After a couple of weeks of getting notifications of twits from my twit-witted friends while i was trying to sleep (like a normal person), I was about ready to give up on the whole thing.
So like a good nerd, I started researching other ways to use this new technology. I tried twitterific and twhirl and twillions of other twools that just made me feel lispy.
Meanwhile, I notice that all my other “social networking” tools are trying to get in on the action, with a series of “what are you doing” post options. These just added to the twitteration and twistication of my poor head. Being visible and “plugged in” is one thing…. but all of this stuff is just NOT WORK.
And then I found PING.fm
and my life was forever changed. Read more
Networking Habits: Keeping up-to-date
March 24, 2008 by Rebekah King · Leave a Comment
A question posted on one of my linkedin groups this week caught my eye, and I thought I’d pass along the conversation:
Fellow MLPF friends,
I have a simple, very simple question: how to manage such a huge amount
of information when doing networking?
How many hours do you spend per day doing business networking? And hot
to manage that with our normal work?
Thanks in advance for all the answers and comments.
I hear you! Take heart though, I think feeling just a few steps behind is a good sign that you are actively networking – it’s that sense of drowning that I often take as a reminder to update my networking maintenance systems. Read more
