Debunking Corporate Blogging
32 likes5,000 views
I thought I would write a post on why corporate blogs are important, as I am perplexed when I still hear business leaders refer to blogs in distaste. Why is that? If there is another option to connect with your customers, clients and/or prospects why would you not leverage that? This infographic shows that value and a roadmap of how. This is based on two blog posts on socialmediapearls.com

Alzheimers Disease In North America
Alzheimers Disease In North AmericaShirley Williams
油
Alzheimer's Disease in North America is a growing concern. In fact as our population age, dementia is a growing concern globally.
As an Alzheimer's care partner myself, I have been doing a lot of research on both the implications to our society and caring for a patient with the disease. As a result, I prepared this "Alzheimer's Disease in North America" infographic to give a snapshot or quick reference of the disease and a summary of what to expect as both a patient and care partner or giver. I prepared this for my family as a quick resource. I share this with you or others who are also having to take this journey.Today's Consumers

Today's consumers, or "COMsumers", are internet-savvy, social, and value their online networks and communities.

They expect two-way communication and will collaborate with companies to develop desired products and services. If brands provide a positive customer experience and engage on social media, COMsumers will become loyal advocates.To Blog Or Not To Blog

Have you ever thought about how you are using your time?
At the end of the day we have a finite time to live on this earth. Our clock starts counting down as soon as we are born. If we did the calculations, would the numbers reflect our intent?
As we review the worlds statistics on human life expectancy, the world average life span is 68 years. The longest average life expectancy is in Japan with an average life-span of 83 years.
How do we, in North America, compare to that number. Well, we are better than the world average but surprisingly we are not in the top 10. Canada ranks #11 with a life expectancy of 82 years; US ranks at #40 with an expectancy of 79 years.William Pearl & Social Media Pearls. An Introduction
