What a year 2011 has been. The U.S. economy seems to be improving. Social media continues to thrive as a medium for businesses to connect with their audience. And for me personally, I’ve been blessed by the fact that my business has grown, and I’ve added new followers on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ — as well as adding as new subscribers to this blog. For that, I owe you all a big THANK YOU!
