A big congratulations to one of our dearest blogger friends, Anna from See Jane Work Play Live, on her wedding! While Anna's off to Mexico getting hitched and honeymooning, B&B has been called to fill in- what a treat!! We can only imagine how crazed Anna must be tying together all the last minute details. We figured we could leave all the dirty details (use your imagination) to Anna's trusted bridal party, soo we decided to focus on what we consider to be the 'fun' stuff... honeymoon attire. Duh! 1.I’ve always wanted to be a small business-owner. I’d have a bakery specializing in savory and sweet pies, like Mrs. Lovett, but with normal ingredients.

Starting Your Own Business - An Interview With a Young Entrepreneur
TELUS Talks Business - a knowledge hub for business conversation
Over the last ten years I have talked to hundreds of CEOs of small and medium-sized businesses in the Business-to-Business (B2B) sector about what works and what doesn’t in building a repeatable lead stream for their business and a marketing engine that delivers measurable business results.

Today’s post is about the value of strong web presence for your business. Paul Timoteo of Car Cost Canada started his business in 1999 but didn’t gain significant market share until he decided to harness the power of an online strategy for his business. Today, he has 28 full time employees and 130,000 paid subscribers.

Blog Comments are the modern day equivalent of letters to the editor. There never used to be such a public forum to share thoughts and ideas or pass comments on issues of interest other than the local newspaper or over a glass of a little something in an alehouse.

How to Be An Awesome Tweeter
by Anjeanette Carter on January 4, 2012 A lot of people ask me how I have a popular twitter account without being a celebrity. It’s really not that difficult, provided you having something to say.
Ask the guy at your local dry cleaners or mechanic shop or bakery how he gets the most out of Google AdWords. Odds are he'll give you a sideways look and ask, "Google Ad- whats ?" When it launched 11 years ago, Google's AdWords was a straightforward product.

So, who better to feature as this week’s Campus Celebrity than Carly Heitlinger, writer of the popular blog site College Prep? Or as she is best known to her followers: the College Prepster.
The College Prepster: Carly Heitlinger MSB '12
As HelloGiggles readers, you came out en masse last week to share your thoughts on what you think is lacking on the site and what you’d like to see more of.

You Wanted It, You Got It: Your Chance to Contribute!
If you take a look at the top 10 Twitter users you'll see a list of famous men and women, from Justin Bieber to Selena Gomez, who have used the popular platform to further expand their personal brands. Perhaps more interesting, however, is how everyday people are investing more time and energy into social networking for professional purposes. Just over a year ago, a local 16-year-old high school student emailed me out of the blue, proposing that he join me as a guest on a TV show I host. Winston Sih didn't send along a resume, but instead included links to his website , Twitter account , Facebook page, and three relevant YouTube clips.
