Our ‪#‎TBT‬ falls an an awesome day! Five years ago today, Talking Finger, Social Media Marketing Agency became "legally official" when our LLC was approved. It took many months of hard work, planning, failing, experimenting, and sacrifice leading up to that day with my good buddy and co-founder Erik Granato. Thanks to our friends, family, clients, supporters and everyone else that made it possible!

LOCAL BUSINESSES!! IMPORTANT!!
 If you own a local business, and want people to easily find you, request a Facebook Beacon NOW! 
Easy application to fill out (see link below). The idea is that beacons — small devices that can send a signal to a person’s smartphone when they get within a certain proximity — can be used to push information and deals to people while they’re in a prime position to make a purchase.

Geek Central: My Apple Collection

Some of the various old Apple/Macs I have piled in my office to play with and work on/upgrade/be nostalgic about. Every one of them boots up smile emoticon I have 5 or 6 more at my house to bring down here.
