Happy almost Thanksgiving to my U.S. based readers! What do you have planned for the holiday? In case you have time for some reading, here are ideas for you based on what I've published on the Simple Marketing Now website.

              Simple Marketing Now Update - 11/9/11

              Simple Marketing Now Update - 11/9/11
              It's true! I've been terribly delinquent... Blame it on the freak 16 inches of snow during Halloween weekend which led to no power/Internet for a few days. And the intensity of Bathroom Blogfest 2012...

              In any case, I need to update you on blogging goings on and Simple Marketing Now. Note that I am gradually shifting publication of major articles onto the Simple Marketing Now website. [In fact, you'll notice that, in addition to Content Talks Business blog articles, the Social Flooring Index and Flooring The Consumer articles I describe below all appear on SimpleMarketingNow.com.] I would love for you to follow me there when you are ready.

              I mentioned Bathroom Blogfest 2012. Did you follow all of the activity? Here is the link to the final Bathroom Blogfest 2012 recap:  ~ 45 fantastic blog articles published. I hope you get to check them out if you haven't already.

              In big news, I have updated the Social Flooring Index [last update was in April 2011]. One more article analyzing conversations will be ready tomorrow or so. In the meantime, check out the following:
              On the Content Talks Business Blog [I invite you to subscribe!], I've recently published the following articles you might be interested in:
