I got mad so you don’t have to
Wow it has been quiet around here. But there is a good reason.
I have been busy flattening the top of my forehead by slapping it repeatedly on my desk. It was slightly involuntary, but I call this tried and true practice “Launching a website”.

Enough already! Credit union blogging is not for everbody!
Anyone who reads credit union blogs, likely reads OpenSourceCU. Yesterday they had a comment that said:
If I hear one more vendor referring to their social media clique members using terms like “cool kids” or “big brains”, I am going to puke. Just take a look around at some of the posts on this site and […]

How To: What to do when your CU gets Blogjacked

It’s Official, blogs are like asses. Everyone has one.
According to Technorati, 70,000 new blogs are launched every day (I wonder how many of those are Facebook, MySpace and random social networking sites). But, according to the same survey, only 5% of corporations have dipped into the blogging pool.
