This is such a great story from the Associated Press. It definitely demonstrates the power of being resourceful, creative and tenacious no matter what the circumstances. I love the fact that we all have a story and using social media as an outlet to let that story be heard can lead to the most magnificent things. Bravo to Brianna Karp who, when she wound up in a situation where she had lost a good paying job and eventually found herself homeless, used the time during her job search to blog about being homeless. http://girlsguidetohomelessness.com

I have written and posted many articles about mommy bloggers and engaging moms online – so I will keep my commentary short today.

They focus on getting and keeping moms on your website which is where they are spending much of their free time these days. Share with them in a way that is respectful and intelligent and you can count on them Share their dollars with you!

In light of my action packed day I am going to keep my portion of this post very short. I came across some very interesting stats this morning that talk about the growth of interactive advertising. I am ALWAYS in support of integration with offline, online and in-store for all of you who will come back to me to question social media’s importance. BUT I do feel that these stats indicate that no one is in a position to ignore the power of engaging their customers online. This information comes from Online Daily Media, posted by Joe Mandese and released Wednesday by WWP—the largest buyer of media in the world. I am now reading all of my newspapers online.
