Hello 2009! One thing that is constant is change and the results of that change is what makes us who we are today and what we are to become tomorrow. With that being said, I agree with Deepak Chopra in saying that we should embrace uncertainty this year and love every minute of it.

I suppose I’m going to jump right into this article as I am with this year and business. A few questions to ponder- are you Twittering? What is the latest post on your blog? Any new status updates on your Facebook page? How about ChaCha? Now Youtube everyone knows right? Hopefully you have an answer to at least one of these questions. If not it is most certainly worth the time and effort to find and have the answers to these questions. Serveys show that the highest number of people on the Internet it between the hours of 9 am and 5pm.

OK Let’s start with Twitter. Twitter defined by Twitter is- “a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?”

Now on to Facebook, what exactly is Facebook anyway?
“Facebook gives people the power to share and makes the world more open and connected. Millions of people use Facebook everyday to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.”, as defined by Facebook themselves.

What the heck is ChaCha besides a dance? That’s what I said when I first heard someone talking about it. ChaCha is “conversational, fun, and easy to use. Simply ask your question like you are talking to a smart friend and ChaCha’s advanced technology instantly routes it to the most knowledgeable person on that topic in our Guide community. Your answer is then returned to your phone as a text message within a few minutes. ChaCha is much more helpful to mobile phone users than typical computer-driven search engines.” This is a great tools for people on the go. Go ahead and try it can you find yourself or your company through ChaCha? www.chacha.com

What I have been talking about are technology driven marketing tools. Nope they are not just for kids and their silly videos or just talking with friends. But are they? The technology that our youth today embraces we can also embrace as marketing tools for connecting with friends, family, clients, art directors, newspapers, magazines. You name it the possibilities are endless! As people choose to stay around the their homes more in the coming year due to the ecomonic climate- remember they still have their computers and communication devices that they are always on in some way, shape or form. From the laptop to the iphone people are easier than ever to find. And you don’t need the typical promo card.
