Here’s the latest offering from them on why you’re not completing important tasks*. Simple, self evident, but something we probably all need reminding of. 

* Giving your assistant plenty to do, so you can go do something more enriching (to your wallet and / or your soul) is entirely why we exist, so don’t take their message TOO literally!

A place where you can say things, ask questions, help friends, network, and so on.

Why’s this important? Do you really need another social network piece of nonsense to fill up your life? The simple answer is probably not.  But, and I say this because there are a lot of small business owners receiving this email, it does have a lot of potential for business
use. Given this, and no one really knowing where Twitter will go other than it’s very popular with lots of People Who Make Things Happen, it’s probably sensible to grab your twitter name whilst you still can. I’d recommend getting your personal name and your business name, just the same as buying your .com domain name about 8 years ago. Get it at www.twitter.com, then follow us at www.twitter.com/onlinepa

It takes your voicemail and sends it to you as a text message. Ideal for
cinemas, screening calls, and during meetings. It can do much more than that, too, so try it out at www.spinvox.com
