We Just Made the BlogBurst Top 100!

I'm grinning this morning as I am sharing some exciting news, The Mortgage Manifesto blog, which went into syndication on the BlogBurst network late last year, quickly rose to the BlogBurst Top 100.  We came in at #93 for headline impressions and click throughs.  How about that!

For making the Top 100 they gave me a $50 reward with two options.  One, receive the cash.  Two, donate the reward to the Periwinkle Foundation (www.periwinklefoundation.org), a non-profit group that helps children with cancer and other life threatening diseases.

I donated to the Periwinkle Foundation, of course!

On a personal note, I'm just happy that the sharing of my thoughts and experiences can help.

The Real Power of Web 2.0

If you've seen the explosion of YouTube and wondered how these "social networking" aka Web 2.0 tools can create more value than a library of video footage, of which most should never have been caught on tape, look no further than www.LinkedIn.com.

This social network tool is AWESOME!

It acts as a contact manager on steriods as it reallly is a relationship building tool.  I'm one with a love of the Internet and for finding new uses of this information technology to create richer lives.  LinkedIn is one of the best real-world applications that excite me enough to get off my seat and tell everyone I know about it.

If you haven't already LinkedIn, what are you waiting for?
