 * [|Genius.com] looks great! It offers good marketing tools to sell your products and services. I especially liked the Tracking Marketing Campaigns including Social Media Activities section. I noticed upon sign up you do need a business email account; You cannot use a yahoo account, must be something that tracks back to a business. So I guess you could use your work email, not sure about that yet. If you can get a corporate email account this would be a great service for marketing our creative projects. I did not sign up but would consider it in the future!
 * [|Grasshopper.com]This offers a nationwide 800 number but you can forward it to your cell phone and receive calls anywhere and it only started at $12 dollars a month. I think this would be good for anyone not only running a business with employees but for someone just starting out who needs to be mobile and doesn’t want to miss a thing. I don’t think this would be good for our group right now as were not a business that needs a number but if we have other opportunities in the future arise for our group and Triangle definitely a service to check out.
 * SalesForce.com is a client management database that is easy to use and understand. It's features include instant messaging, calendar updates, a Facebook-esque platform that you can post status updates and even PowerPoint presentations, producing and sending invoices, the ability to post project statuses and reminders, and much more. The only downside is the cost; the smallest package is about $750 annually per user. There is a 30-day free trial so you can test it out and see if it makes sense to make the investment. I have used SalesForce with another company and loved all of the features and benefits, however, the hefty price tag takes my grade down to a B+.
 * Constant Contact ([|www.constantcontact.com]) is an email marketing service that allows businesses to send email blasts, newsletters, event marketing, and surveys out to their business contacts. The cost ranges from $15-150 per month depending on how many emails you send out (if you send more than 25,000 the cost is negotiated). They have a new service called SaveLocal where companies can create deals on their products and services. These deals are email blasted out to the contact database and then you are charged between $3-19 for each deal purchased. I have only used Constant Contact for newsletters and thought the service was just OK. The site crashed several times as the newsletter was being created. This was in 2010. Grade: C Kelli Sanders, August20212 Triangle, This sounds like a great way to reach clients and Lifebushido members; not only for announcements, but feedback as well.
 * [|www.loveyou2.org] This blog site has evolved from a woman’s love notes for her kids into a mini-movement of sharing love messages in various public spots. The site includes message templates, workshop information, photos of the public signs. One sign was placed at the location of an accident and the parents were grateful. While not directly applicable to Lifebushido, this site is a fine example of out-of-the-box thinking and the kind of values central to Lifebushido. I’m putting up a sign at our local market today.

 * [|www.groupme.com] is a really awesome website that offers an app to use for group text messaging right on your cell phone.

Murphy -Litotes Triangle 1/31/13; George Baayenda-Impact Triangle.
 * [|Geotoko.com] - This site is location based marketing and analytics. This may be handy when looking for real estate agents in the area. While it may be a bit more than emailing agents, it looks as though it would definitely help for more in depth marketing. It allows you to reach out to multiple people at once, which is a nice time saving tool. Rating: B - for our immediate purposes, this might not be necessary but definitely something to remember for the future. (Heather Clarke, Litotes Triangle, Scribe)

 * Skype.com is something that I have used in the past to talk to someone. It is an IM type of tool but with video. It is a free web to other Skype user. The down side is that if another user does not have Skype it will cost money to connect and if the other person does not have a camera then it is audio only.-Rated A -Sherrie Lopez-Globalnetwork18 Triangle
 * [|AdParlor]: this is an online advertising software dedicated for FaceBook, which I think, will be useful for LifeBushido.

The avatar is widely used by educators and would be a great resource for use on a website/web page to provide instructional support . . . or more.

 * [] This is a service from You Tube that has been around for just over a couple of years and shows successful and popular use based on the numbers of videos that have been added the Creative Commons library. By adding original videos to the library you license your work, and can give (Lifebushido greater brand exposure, name recognition and build up clientele. This is accomplished by allowing your footage to be used with other videos, while receiving credit for the footage. I would liken this to Stock Photo companies- only with videos, and is available for anyone to use.
