I have been experimenting with the new features of QuickBooks 2012 and was pleasantly surprised when I noticed that the new Lead Center contains optional contact information fields for LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Skype. Apparently, Intuit has recognized the value of these social media tools for marketing and added them as a means for QuickBooks users to connect with prospective customers. It is cool to see accounting software become a little more social. November 7th, 2011 | Tags: Facebook, LinkedIn, QuickBooks, Twitter | Category: QuickBooks, Social Media | Leave a comment
This week, I attended the AICPA TECH+ conference and used Twitter to share a few useful pieces of information with the hashtag #pstech. Below is a screenshot of the most common words used in tweets by everyone at the conference that included the hashtag. The words with the larger letters were used more often than those with smaller letters. I am honored to be in there, thanks to a few of my tweets being retweeted by others resulting in multiple mentions of my username. Also listed are many other people … Continue reading Sweet!

Over the past few weeks, I have spent countless hours programming (and testing and reprogramming and testing and reprogramming, etc.) a Twitter app I created in Visual Basic. It was the most fun project I could think of for a Visual Basic class I’m taking at UNLV. In the end, the programming wasn’t so difficult. It just took me a long time to find something that worked. After many Google searches, I couldn’t find a straight-forward walkthrough, so hopefully this blog … Continue reading How I Created my own Twitter App with Visual Basic A few months ago in a blog post, I tried to answer the question, “why would a CPA want to use Twitter?” After attending Accounting Today’s Growth & Profitability Summit, I have another reason for a CPA to use Twitter. Twitter is awesome at conferences! By adding the hashtag #GroPro (short for Growth & Profitability) to my tweets, I shared useful quotes with others at the conference. I also added a column to my Tweetdeck Droid app using a search for #GroPro and was able to … Continue reading Tweets on the Big Screen at the Growth and Profitability Summit Last Saturday, I attended WordCamp Las Vegas. WordCamp is a conference that focuses on the popular blogging platform WordPress, which I used to create this blog. Most of those who attended were full-time web designers and programmers. I was probably most likely definitely the only accountant there. I admit that some of the material presented in the conference was a little over my head, especially when they got into PHP code. My PHP coding skills are a level or two above copy … Continue reading Ten Things I Learned from WordCamp Las Vegas 2010 October 25th, 2010 | Tags: Blog, podcast, Web design, Wordpress | Category: Social Media | 4 comments
Image via Wikipedia Suppose you spend an hour commuting every day over 250 working days in a year. If all you listen to in the car is music, what do you have to show for it after the year is over? One of my friends asked me that question many years ago when I was considering taking a job that would require a daily commute that was longer than I was used to. I had always thought that a long commute was a bad … Continue reading Learning on the Go with Podcasts October 12th, 2010 | Tags: Google Listen, podcast | Category: Personal Reflections, Social Media | One comment
Image via Wikipedia I have a little debate going on in my head about who should be included in my LinkedIn network. LinkedIn seems to suggest that connections should represent a “real-world” network and be limited to trusted friends and colleagues. I have discovered, though, that some people are looking to connect to everybody. Some even go so far as to have LION (LinkedIn Open Networker) or “I accept all invites” in their headlines. I have received several invitations to connect from people I don’t know … Continue reading My LinkedIn Connection Dilemma Many villains in TV shows and movies have evil plans to take over the world. I have a much more attainable goal: take over the first page of Google when my name is searched for! *insert maniacal laughter here*
I thought it would be a good idea to “take over” Google when I read this blog post in the Harvard Business Review: Forget the business card – just Google me. I love the business card in that blog post (which … Continue reading My Plot to Take Over Google Searches for my Name |
