Food Drive for Saint Vincent De Paul’s Village

Saint Vincent De Paul’s Village was started in 1950 as a small operation handing out peanut butter sandwiches to homeless. In 1982, Father Joe of Father Joe’s Villages decided something more was needed than a “band-aid” approach of serving lunchtime sandwiches on weekdays. The opening of the Joan Kroc Center in 1987 marked the beginning of St. Vincent de Paul Village. St. Vincent’s helps people earn GEDs, train on computers, find jobs at Village employment fairs, receive medical and dental care, and take charge of their own destiny. Children learn at the on-site county-run elementary and high schools.

Psst!—Do you have your 2009 Website Plan Complete?

Elections are just around the corner and everyone is feeling the pinch of economic downturns, but that is no excuse to stop planning and being creative. Keep in mind what marketing guru Peter Drucker says, “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” He also said, “The computer is a moron” and “unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes… but no plans.” So let’s talk about planning—is your 2009 website plan complete? Do you have a commitment?

Social Status 2.5 : r u as Kewl as u Think u r?

Connecting to your friends and family is becoming more and more virtual every day. If you are not one of the many hundreds of millions of people racing to position themselves as the next big thing online then you may be missing out. How many people visited your blog last month? How many friends do you have in MySpace? How many videos have you posted to YouTube? Is your information in Facebook? What is your rank and level in World of Warcraft or Halo 3? What is your profile name and community you belong to in Second Life? If you do not have an answer to any of the questions above then you may not be preparing yourself to be a part of the next important status movement.

Cause For Drinks: Thursday Nov 6, 5-8 PM, @ the Whistlestop

Yes, if the Ninthlink blog is not about promoting/cultivating great ideas, then I don’t know what it is for. And if a Cause For Drinks is not a great idea, well, then, I should probably go home…

Anyways, in preparation on the day before Ninthlink’s Alex Smith and the rest of The Modlins rock the Whistlestop, there is more to bring you to Southpark ((insert theme song to South Park here…)) : its The Cause For Drinks! And what is that, you ask?

Tomorrow’s Technology: What Role Does Your Brand Play?

A recent TV commercial has the new CEO of Sprint holding up the latest cell and saying one simple and true line, “It’s amazing we still call them phones.” It’s a black and white ad, set in the Empire Diner in New York City. He then says that technology is useless if you don’t know if it is there or know how to use it. This is an excellent product commercial and points out something so obvious that many of us forget how true it is.

Do we need to rename the phone? All these features.

Many of us who are technology fans, and who use the latest gear, gewgaws, widgets, and software in out everyday business and lives, sometimes don’t realize that the majority of people out there are unaware of all this tech, how to get it, how to use it. What does this mean? It means a plethora of potential customers and presents a challenge about how to reach them, how to let them know what’s available.
