Client results points up the opportunity with 'vertical communities'. For an eBook publisher, we have established groups on sites such as book glutton. For the same client, we have set up a group on doc sharing site Scribd.

Once signed-in, take a look at people that follow us and the people that we're following or our 'friends'. Here, you'll see a smattering of techies and bloggers that we follow. Again, clicking on someone's alias or name brings up their twitter stream or more info. about them. Typically, the way Twitter works is that someone will 'follow' you when they receive notice that you are 'following' them. To follow someone, click on the 'follow' button found under their photo on their Twitter page.

Hi everyone--

A couple of weeks back, I posted the following question to my LinkedIn
network. Following are the responses received and who made the referral. I received many more answers from the wider LinkedIn Network but posted only those that responded from my circle of friends.

Hope this helps and thanks again! Mitch

Nick ONeill runs The Social Times blog. If you're RSS feed isn't picking this blog up, it should! He also runs the allfacebook blog- the unofficial facebook blog

Nick had an interesting post this morning:

What's the Future of D.C. Technology?


Nick's overall tone is positive and says that WDC is well on the way but... that the tech community is still missing a few things. Included: positive press, funding, a culture of risk.

This week has been like homecoming at the local hospital. My dad feel in the bathroom and put his head through the wall. My mom feel by the bathroom and ended up with a few staples in the head.

You know that you're spending to much time at the hospital when...

Do you choose your immediate family, help your parents or... try to do 3 things at once?

Washington, DC has had bad weather. Truding through the snow, like in a bad fairy tale, I made arrangements to move my folks temporarily into our house. My parents though, insist on staying put to 'wait it out. Go figure. Faced with the possibility of not being able to gove my dad insulin shots, I packed them up and took 'em home. it took me longer to pack meds than it did the clothes...

Tomorrow, we're off to the Dr. in between client calls.

I have officially become a full-time caregiver. A funny thing happened in-between cleaning, cooking, drs appts & hospital stays... I used to marvel at friends and family that found time to take care of loved ones. Where did they find the time?

Now, I realize that there's just no other way but to do what you have to do. I've also leaned, along the way, a hell of alot more about time management. I've also learned how important MY family is (more on that later).

On the good news front, it seems that my dad has Polychondritis. Why is this good? Because it sure beats the alternatives mentioned!

The other nice thing is that people are starting to mention this blog in conversation and relate similar experiences of their own. More on that later as well.

Such is the case with a current customer. It's always good to make a connection and there's no better way to do this than with family. How one interacts with family says a lot about the person (and, I know I'm getting older when I say things like that!).

Everyone does what's right for them and there are all types of circumstances but... I've always thought that family was an indicator & foundation that people were built on.

For myself, lately I've been humming Rubberband Man, a 70's hit (?) from the Spinners.

I learned that a Dr uttering the words "you can go home now" is only the first step to discharge. Finding well stocked weekend Pharmacy's is a challenge. Finding pharmacists that are in a good mood on a Sunday night is impossible.

As we await more test results, I dispense 16 different meds and now give my dad insulin shots twice a day. And, all of this comes from a kid that used to cry at the sight of a needle.

Getting my parents on the same track to assisted living continues to be mision impossible.
