Posted by Rosie on May 8, 2009

Some of you reading this may have grandchildren or even children of age to consider these scholarship or job opportunities. I was on the look out because of many friends I know who have a child or grandchild jumping out there into the workforce hustle or still need some assistance.

I will continue to post things I come across but if you have additional information please post as a comment. Thanks so much.

Joe The Plumber-Impact On Internet Marketing

Posted by Rosie on October 16, 2008

The term Joe The Plumber certainly has made an impact on internet marketing after the debate on Oct. 15, 2008. Well, for starters my hubby said, “Hey did you check to see if somone owned the domain name?” Then I googled the name of the site like so many other folks, and noticed all the Google ads that popped up. That means folks are searching. Also, note that many variations of the name have been purchased, like “Joe the Plummer”.

It makes a good point about trends and the impact on marketing on the internet. So enjoy this post that was made on one of the most prominent blogs in the world. (You guessed it, Huffington Post)
