Home Office? I got this wireless headset and it is great!

Filed under: Home Office, Mobile and Web — Cliff Kinard @ 14:25

Freedom to walk around my office/home used to be much harder.  I had a wireless headset with a teathered dialer piece.  Not bad, but nothing like what I have today. My new headset is crystal clear and has dual earpiece…helps to drown out outside noise.  It truly works 200+ feet away from my office…I forgot I had it on and started to drive off before it dawned on me.  LOL. 

It gives me free hands to brainstorm on my whiteboard, type away on my computer or just make my lunch.  Nobody can tell it is a headset and the the mute button makes it perfect for conference calls.

Disclaimer:  I have used this product successfully for over 30 days now and I get NO payment for this recommendation.

Found some great FREE eMarketing education videos

Filed under: Mobile and Web — Cliff Kinard @ 14:42

Checking out an new-to-me agency today and stumbled into a site with several eMarketing videos:

  1. Nice but brief opening from Schematic.com’s creative lead
  2. VERY good tips on Guerrilla eMarketing tactics by Will Pate at Command N (just wish you could see the slides better)
  3. Next wave mobile Social networking from Chad Stoller of Organic, Inc. was great and turned me onto several new sites.  Yelp.com
  4. Even an overview and demo of MicroSoft’s X-Box video via the web service from Sean Love

Must watch videos!
