Twitter for Friends and Business

Here is a quick and simple video on twitter, by Lee LeFever.

Twitter is used to stay connected with friends but can also be used to keep your business connected with those using Twitter.

Twitter was not intended for businesses, and there are plenty of tools for getting work done that are more sophisticated. And at this time it’s important to meet with your customers where they are. Yes they will still come in your front door, so when you build that new widget or web page, what an easy way to get that information out to customers.

Sunset Resorts uses Social Media as Travel Agent Training

Sunset Resorts Jamaica has several videos on YouTube that are packed full of information for travel agents.

OK, so Steve is very excited about his property. And he does a good job providing plenty of sales information for travel agents, but I wonder if he could have provided the same info for the travelers, so agents could also use the video as a sales tool?

Using Flickr Photos as a Social Network

Reasons to use an online Photo Storage Service

There’s a lot of good reasons to use an online photo service. Online photo services make it easy to save and organize your photos for later. Have you ever tried to find a picture from your last trip and had no idea where it could be? Ever had your hard drive crash and were not able to recover anything on it? I have, and it’s not fun.

Sharing your Photos
Sharing your photos online is a lot easier and faster than emailing your photos to all your friends and family. And your friends and family can also keep up with your new pics.

Networking your photos
This maybe a little extreme: I just came back from Barbados and saw about 20 properties, and yes I have plenty more to go. Some unique features: These pictures are sized to fit on any area of a web site, each picture has a description, and are copy righted as creative commons so they can not be resold, anyone can use them, and there must be a reference that I am the photographer.

I liked Club Med so much I set up a Club Med Group on Flickr where others could share their vacation photos as well. What a great way to see other Club Med locations than through the eyes or photos of others that have been there. And if there are more questions there is a place to start a discussion or ask questions.

Here is a fun video that explains Social networking with photos in a nutshell.
