Isn't M&C Magazine suppose to notify you if you have won the coveted "Gold Service Award"?
Again.
For the 15th time?
Because planners vote on the winners.
And because Bond and Becca are REALLY good at service!
You know we were inducted into the M&C Mag Hall of Fame in 2007.
And we don't advertise with them anylonger . . .
What a nice early Christmas present.

Social Networking isn't for kids
42% of people online now use social-networking sites, including Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn.
More than half of social networkers log on at least once a day and the majority log on several times a day.
The majority of users log on at home but I think they are lying to the surveyers. I think most log on at work, but that's just me.
About 19% or over the age of 55.
And the majority of all users are women between the ages of 35-54.
I really don't know what I think about all this.
