The BlissDom conversation is really heating up! Twitter blew up this evening as the evening entertainment was announced and conference attendees hurried to share the news. The best part of BlissDom, to me, is getting to spend time with people who ‘get’ me. They understand my frustration when I say “Twitter is borked today!” or [...]

In my small home town, not many people do business online. The ones who do are just getting started and it thrills me to see them opening up to new ideas and potential for their companies.
