Adelaide United climbed to third in the A-League with a 2-0 home win over Central Coast Mariners on Friday.
Adelaide were impressive throughout and displayed their title credentials in a fine win, secured by goals from Marcelo Carrusca and Fabio Ferreira.
The hosts went close through Bernie Ibini and Brue Djite - on his 100th A-League appearance for Adelaide - and finally took the lead just after the half-hour through Carrusca.
The Argentine winger displayed neat reactions to control Osama Malik's deflected effort and prod the ball past Central Coast goalkeeper Liam Reddy.
Matthew Simon hit the post twice in quick succession and was made to rue those misses as Adelaide doubled their advantage before the interval.
A sweeping counter-attack from the hosts tore Central Coast to shreds and it was left to Ferreira to slot home his sixth of the season.
Adelaide continued to dominate in the second half, but were unable to add to their tally, young winger Awe Mabil seeing a goal harshly ruled out for offside.

says: "WHY are you watching YouTube, and NOT reading your bible?"
For the same reason that people go to church, listen to a sermon, but also never crack their Bible to see if what the pastor is saying lines up. Many churches encourage this behavior from their members. And it's been happening since the beginning. The Spirit of Truth is critical to survive the tremendous onslaught of deceit I see happening in the world right now. Christians are being heavily tested.

It seems like a lot of these YT "Christians" live in the comfort of their home, drinking a glass of cold ice tea, while having the power of that built-in mic at their fingertips. But en yet, like Knox said, these same people wouldn't stand a chance if they had a power outage in their area for a mere weekend.

The original tip to her video came from a known new-age poster. So that makes sense. If she's a new-ager posing as a Christian, then this is a type of fear-uncertainty-doubt assault that I haven't seen before.

DRACO - MIT Scientist Develops Vaccine To "Cure All Viral Diseases"
Viral pathogens pose serious health threats worldwide. For clinical viruses such as HIV or hepatitis, emerging viruses such as avian or swine influenza, and highly lethal viruses such as Ebola or smallpox that might be used in bioterrorist attacks, relatively few therapeutics or prophylactics (preventatives) exist. Most therapeutics that do exist are highly specific for one virus, are ineffective against virus strains that become resistant to them, or have adverse effects on patients.
As part of the PANACEA (for Pharmacological Augmentation of Nonspecific Anti-pathogen Cellular Enzymes and Activities) project, researchers from MIT Lincoln Laboratory have developed and demonstrated a novel broad-spectrum antiviral approach, called DRACO (for Double-stranded RNA [dsRNA] Activated Caspase Oligomerizer). DRACO selectively induces apoptosis, or cell suicide, in cells containing any viral dsRNA, rapidly killing infected cells without harming uninfected cells. As a result, DRACO should be effective against virtually all viruses, rapidly terminating a viral infection while minimizing the impact on the patient.
Dr. Todd Rider, senior staff scientist in MIT Lincoln Laboratorys Chemical, Biological, and Nanoscale Technologies Group, invented PANACEA and the DRACO therapeutics, and led the team that developed them: Scott Wick, in charge of DRACO production; Christina Zook, in charge of cell testing; Tara Boettcher, in charge of mouse trials; and Jennifer Pancoast and Benjamin Zusman, who performed additional experiments.
In work reported in the journal PLoS ONE, DRACO was shown to be effective against all 15 viruses that the team has so far tested in cells, including cold viruses (rhinoviruses), H1N1 influenza strains, adenoviruses, a stomach virus (reovirus), a polio virus, dengue fever virus, and several members of hemorrhagic fever arenavirus and bunyavirus families. DRACO was also demonstrated to be nontoxic in 11 different cell types representing various species (e.g., humans, monkeys, mice) and organ types (e.g., heart, lung, liver, kidney). In addition, experiments demonstrated that DRACO not only is nontoxic to mice but also can save mice infected with a lethal dose of H1N1 influenza. Currently, the team is testing additional viruses in mice and beginning to get promising results with those as well.

I know this show will not be everybody's cup of tea. That said, I think
I'll have another helping! I used to work as a copywriter at a radio
station; the crazier we were, the better it was. I worked with people
like Simon and Zach as well as Sydney. My 14-year old looked at me and
said, "Oh, my gosh, Mom, Simon is YOU!" Sooo, I guess you know who I
was in the little equation at work!
I love the relationship between the elder statesman (HA!) -- Simon -- and the young Jedi trainee -- Zach. I love the off-the -cuff repartee. I love how they think on their feet. And I love the fire-rapid dialog.
I want to get to know more about these characters. I want to see them develop.
All I am saying is: Give "Crazy" a Chance....
The pilot was really fast paced, the 20 minutes felt like 5 but I already love all the characters. Definitely Ally Mc Beal 2.0. A bunch of Crazy people with a lot of heart. Can't hardly wait to know them a little bit more and to explore their universe. All the actors have great chemistry together especially Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar. James Wolk was a nice revelation and on top of that Kelly Clarkson was hilarious. Yep, this is great TV. The show has so much potential, I hope the writers will meet my expectations. The next episodes should focus a little bit more on the father / daughter relationship. This is where, IMO, The Crazy Ones could stand out of the crowd and became a nice "dramedy".
I don't quite understand where the low rating comes from. I thought this show delivered very good comedy. There is some cheesy humour, but there are also great metaphors and references to films. I found a lot of the dialogue to be smart and well written. Robin Williams carries most of the comedic value, as can be expected. It often seems a lot in his scenes is spontaneous, which works out great. Sarah Michelle Gellar does not deliver many laughs on her own, and her acting seems a bit stiff, but then again this demeanor fits her character. The other cast fit well, although it's difficult to get used to Hamish Linklater in a role so different than in Newsroom. Overall, definitely one of the better comedy shows on TV.
I'm a die-hard Robin Williams fan (he's a comedic genius) and now a new fan of this show. I thought it was funny, witty and fast-paced. I wanted it to be an hour long, not 30 minutes! The relationship between Williams and Gellar as father and daughter works; he's nutty and she's not, but they both can change. Even the assistant ("Smell my shampoo") is hilarious. If the next few episodes are as good as the pilot, I'm sold. There were so many quick throw-away lines that we watched it again, and laughed even more. If/when they cast Pam Dawber as SMG's mother, it's perfection! Good supporting cast too, and more star cameos would be great. "The Crazy Ones," a comedy spin-off of "Mad Men," get it? Much less dark and bitter, more milk chocolate than bittersweet. Thanks, David E. Kelly! Loved it!
I know critics haven't been very kind with this show but as a viewer I
really find it fresh and funny.
The cast is fantastic and the father-daughter relationship between Simon (Williams) and Sydney (Gellar) seems genuine. I feel like this show allows you to see the comedic genius process that happens behind closed doors for Robin Williams. It may feel insane and extreme at times but it comes across as a real workplace.
I think this show will continue for a while as each episode feels new and there will always be a new client for them to base the episode around. It's a really enjoyable show and makes me laugh each week. I will definitely stay tuned.
Robin Williams is finally back to doing what he's always done best --
off-the-cuff riffing on whatever subject you put in front of him. He's
brilliant. While America's sense of humor has changed a bit since Mrs.
Doubtfire, Williams' ability to turn his incredible sense of humor into
a source of drama (it's obvious that his characters' silliness is a
response to his own desperation) shows that as an actor, he's gone from
silly to serious and come back out the other side with a remarkable
ability to showcase the two simultaneously and sensitively.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is perfectly cast in her role, as a foil for Williams. Her ability to (act like she can) see the serious and important sides of absurd and silly situations -- honed to a keen point in Buffy -- is exactly what Williams' character needs to have the truth of his tragicomic situation highlighted.
Also, this is the first show that I've ever seen where the unabashedly promiscuous person (Zach/James Wolk) is a guy -- and it's AWESOME! The way that everyone treats him (the line was something like "Zach, lose a layer. If it goes badly, two.") is perfect. ("To be safe, I'm going to need some meat. Zach! Vaya con queso, amigo!") I realize that Zach is theoretically supposed to be the main character of the show, and honestly, he's *almost* able to hold his own next to Williams and Gellar. Give him a few episodes, and he'll shine. He's pretty and obviously a great actor, and I can't wait to see him blossom.
This show isn't going to appeal to everyone -- it's paced like Scandal, has the emotional volatility of the Newsroom, and the pop culture references of Franklin & Bash. ("Lopez wants to be paid in diamonds, Aidelle is British...and Pink threatened me.") The problem is that it's billed as a zany comedy/Mad Men with Robin Williams, but the truth is that it's actually a very dramatic story hidden beneath zaniness, and a lot of people are going to have a problem with that.
I decided to watch this show only because of Sarah Michelle Gellar and
Robin Williams and didn't have any expectations. But I am very happy
with what I got.
The Pilot was over before it started which can mean only one thing-I didn't get bored.It was constantly funny,but not laughing out loud funny,it was subtle and constant.
Robin is his usual self,I think there is a lot of improvising on his behalf and I like it.
Sarah is very natural in her role and I can see her as updated version of Ally McBeal. She has a comedic bone in herself but didn't get much chance in The Pilot to prove herself in that area(although there was a great moment where she is watching some McDonalds executive fall for her colleague's charm and she makes a face,it was so funny). But in every dialogue with Robin there is so much chemistry. Especially where there is only two of them in the scene. It's like they know each other their whole life,just like father and daughter. (Not very usual to see these days on TV)
The rest of the cast will hopefully get to shine in next episodes but I will mention James Wolk's character which is very likable.
I really hope they keep up the good work and get people to know them better.
I watched the pilot and had a good time! I thought the writing and
acting were way above what we usually get in network television shows.
I usually only watch cable weekly series because the writing is smarter
and has more depth than the networks. But I thought this show had
pretty decent writing. Although, I am almost certain they're letting
Robin have a lot of improvisational play room! So far I'm mostly liking
everyone in it. I'm only having a slight problem with Amanda Setton's
character, the pretty dark-haired assistant. Her repeated "fake" laughs
at almost everything Robin's character says could get annoying. As far
as the two leads, I think both Robin and Sarah are well-matched. They
both seem comfortable and natural in their parts individually and with
each other. Robin's always been very quick with his delivery, but
Sarah's a smart actress and is keeping up with him fine. (BTW, I didn't
see her one-season-only flop last year. But I loved her in BTVS and in
all of her movies I've seen.) Besides the comic timing needed in this,
it also looks like they'll be dealing with some honest real-life-like
touching moments. Sarah has always been brilliant at that and Robin's
acting in that department can also be very heartfelt.
I think the show's off to a pretty good start and has a decent shot at some longevity, especially with David E. Kelley as its creator and exec producer. He's had tons of success in the past with shows like Picket Fences, Chicago Hope, The Practice, Ally McBeal, Boston Public and Boston Legal. Not a bad resume! So I wish this one luck and will definitely be tuning in to see where it goes. BTW, I loved Kelly Clarkson's bitchy side in this episode. LOL! I hope they have other known celebrities making cameos in future episodes! It could keep the story lines fresh from week to week, kind of like what they're doing on Web Therapy. (OMG, I just compared a network show to a well-written cable series! Well, maybe it does have a pretty damn good chance!) I gave this pilot a rating of 8/10 stars.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
My wife and I were invited to watch a secret screening of a show while
we were staying in Las Vegas, which turned out to be an episode of "The
Crazy Ones".
I will say straight of the bat that my wife and I are British so this does mean we may not necessarily agree with how Americans may see this show.
Anyway we both watched the episode where the office gets a cold and they have to launch a doll. We had to track how much we laughed or found the script entertaining from 0 - 10, with 0 being get me out of here this is the worst, through to 10 were everyone should be laughing out loud. Anyway after watching the show for what seemed like an age it ended and I realised I hadn't even moved the dial to more that a 4 which was when the credits came up as I felt relief that this show was over. I asked my wife whether I had missed something as I didn't find the show funny in the slightest and the humour was extremely basic, almost virgin on what I might expect my children to watch on a Disney channel show. She also agreed that this was very basic and unoriginal and didn't laugh at all through the show.
This was a real shame as Both my wife and I like Robin Williams, but the script in the show was just so weak not even he could lift it to any level. As for the rest of the characters neither my wife or I can remember any of them as they didn't engage us at all and we really didn't care what happened to them.
The show tries to be clever but approaches things in such a childish manner it fails badly. Unfortunately this show sums up the stereo type view of humour the British have of American sitcoms - childish, basic and predictable As it happens this show hasn't made it to British shores which I guess means at least someone filtered this dross from spreading any further. But maybe this show reflects American culture and we Brits wont get it, after all the our shows, such as the Office, Inbetweeners, Queer as folk etc..... didn't translate well into US series.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I put the failure of this show directly on Kelley's shoulder. It may make some bank, and its insipidly inane enough enough to gain traction on the mostly senile audience which is CBS ( see Two Broke Girls, Mike & Molly, & the lets beat a dead horse show: 2.5 Men,). Sure, CBS would be foolish to pass up a Kelley pitch for a new show, he has had a solid career. Sure, the producers would be foolish to pass up Robin Williams. With a career that encases "Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, Awakenings, and Good Will Hunting" along with historical stand-up that goes back to the 70's Troubadour, and Mork & Mindy, like him or not, thats a resume just about any performer would be proud to have. But just as Robin lost his mojo when got sobered up, so has Kelley when he didn't change with the 2010's. The show is plastic and one-dimensional with no dynamics or climax. The supporting characters are annoying, weak and vapid. Once again, we get another sitcom based in the ad-agency world, which resembles nothing to the ad-agency world, which I could have forgiven had the show been more likable and credible, and the supporting cast ( which has experience) be more supportive and less self-aware. The only few bright moments are Williams ad-libs, but even those are watered-down for prime-time, and draw from a less inspired place.

A man's logic
A couple wants a divorce, but first they must decide who will be the main guardian of their child. The jury asks both the man and woman for a reason why they should be the one to keep the child. So the jury asks the woman first. She says, "Well I carried
this child around in my stomach for nine months and I had to go through a painful birth
process, this is my child and apart of me." The jury is impressed and then turns to ask the man the same question. The man replies, "OK, I take a coin and put it in the drink machine and a drink comes out, now tell me who does the drink belong to me or the machine"

Russian arms due in Iraq by this summer
Iraq will receive deliveries of attack helicopters and air defense systems from Russia before the start of summer, the Iraqi foreign minister said Monday.
Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said the arms would be delivered before the beginning of the summer
at the latest, RIA Novosti reported.
The announcement came after Iraq's acting Defense Minister Sadum al-Dulaymi denied reports in November Baghdad was canceling a $4.2 billion arms deal with Russia over concerns about corruption.
Russia and Iraq had reached a deal for Russian Mi-28NE attack helicopters and Pantsyr mobile air-defense systems in October but an Iraqi spokesman said shortly afterward the deal was on hold.
Zebari said Monday Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters from the United States were due to be begin delivery in 2014.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
by Paul on 07/11/07 at 12:59 PM ET
Comments (0)
I happen to know the movie "Transformers" is pretty popular now, but to be truthful, that is all I know about it. Reading this just confused me even more…
from LCS Hockey,
Optimus Prime: He's the leader of the Autobots and arguably the best Transformer. Sidney Crosby would be the first name that comes to mind, but Sid's kind of young. Optimus Prime is more of a veteran leader. Mario Lemieux would have made the prefect Optimus. Or Steve Yzerman. Ron Francis. Of current NHLers, though, I'd say Joe Sakic is the closest.
Bumblebee: In the cartoons, Bumblebee was always the scrappy little guy trying to prove his worth to the older Autobots. Now that's Crosby. But in winning the Art Ross, Hart, and Lester Pearson last season, Sid may have gone from Bumblebee to Optimus Prime.
Ratchet: Ratchet's an ambulance. No doubt, he's Peter Forsberg
continued and thanks to Blueland Blog for the pointer…

Fujitsu, a leading provider of business, information technology, and communications solutions, announced today that Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. was selected by Kit Carson Electric Cooperative (KCEC) to implement a new Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) project. The new broadband network will cover 2,951 square miles in northern New Mexico's rural, underserved counties of Taos, Colfax, and Rio Arriba.
The infrastructure project will help drive economic development by providing opportunities for high-bandwidth broadband connectivity to businesses, households, community institutions and two Native American Pueblos. It will also lay the groundwork for KCEC's planned Smart Grid, which will feature an advanced metering infrastructure and real-time detection of power outages to promote energy efficiency and offer customers higher levels of service.
With $64M in funding from the U.S. Rural Utilities Service, KCEC sourced communications networking technologies from multiple vendors, including a fiber build-out. In order to reduce the overall project risk, KCEC sought after a broadband builder with an excellent track record in broadband design and implementation and chose Fujitsu to guide and assist its team.
As the working relationship began, Fujitsu identified more advanced, modular technology solutions that had become available since the co-op made its original technology selections. For example, Fujitsu demonstrated the best design to future-proof the co-op's investment in the network and to enable delivery of additional services utilized the combination of two advanced technologies, Ethernet and Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON). An Ethernet-based core infrastructure connects the electrical power substations and GPON is used in the access networks to deliver 100 Mbps in broadband connectivity to residents and 1 Gbps to schools, hospitals and government agencies. At KCEC's request then, Fujitsu designed and engineered a new infrastructure and took on the role of network systems integrator as well as responsibility for overall program management.
"Fujitsu's understanding of the best-of-breed technologies and the implementation strategy made them an invaluable partner," said Luis Reyes, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. "Their vendor-agnostic approach, ability to integrate networking technology solutions from multiple manufacturers, and proven program management methodology are vital to our project's success. Together, KCEC and Fujitsu are building a broadband infrastructure that will provide the foundation necessary to drive economic growth, create stronger communities, improve educational opportunities, and give citizens better access to healthcare."
Nowhere is the need greater for high-speed broadband connectivity than in rural America. "Our relationship with KCEC is very rewarding because we're bridging the digital divide to enhance the quality of life for tens-of-thousands of people in northern New Mexico," said Greg Manganello, Senior Vice President and Head of Services, Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. "Now the rural community served by KCEC will have better access to higher education, employment opportunities, job training, and social networking. And, in the future, this same broadband connectivity will support the utilities' Smart Grid, improving 'customer centricity' and service reliability."
At completion, the KCEC network will allow greater bandwidth and capacity for applications such as telemedicine, teleconferencing and video sharing among 29 communities, 3,600 businesses, 29,000 homes and 183 community institutions, including two Native American Pueblos.

They are taking over tablet and smartphone markets, and Google Play revenues are beginning to reflect that. This report from App Annie is showing the change in profitability. However, some forecast there might be a bubble that is about to burst (unlikely). Via Phandroid, more here.
- iTunes 11 Is Finally Out: Here's What's New - The update to iTunes 11 is available, and has changed the application greatly. iTunes is the defining application for half of all smartphone consumers, and it matters (a lot, unfortunately). Gizmodo has the run-down on the changes so check it out here. Via Gizmodo.
- Google Maps Navigation gets a green light in Mexico - As Android grows in international usage (it is more readily available) we must be cognizant that the Google apps available to us in the US are not always available overseas. Via Android Community, more here.
- RIM Is Losing the Enterprise Market to iPhone and Android - New research from IDC is showing that Apple and Android are pushing RIM out in their only profitable market anymore – the enterprise. RIM has long been an enterprise superstar, and this is terrible news for the Canadian firm. Via All Things D, more here.
- Review: Fantastical for iPhone, the calendar upgrade iOS 6 is missing - Calendars can be tricky (Google recently forgot December), they need to be clean and useful, yet powerful and integrated. Fantastical possesses a language parser which turns common statements into calendar appointments. Via 9to5Mac, more here.
- popSLATE case adds e-ink screen to the back of iPhone 5 - Every now and then something pops up that is pretty wild. The plan for this Kickstarter case is to add an e-ink screen on the back of the iPhone 5. Users would be able choose what is displayed (perhaps a picture). The killer app for this would be iBooks that displayed to the back (saving battery and providing an e-reader on your iPhone). Via GigaOM, more here.
- Photoshop Touch gets support for 7-inch screens - Photoshop Touch is an excellent photo app for Android, and the update to the 7″ form factor puts it in the hands of the millions of Nexus 7 users. Adobe does require the screen to be at least 1024×600 pixels in resolution, but very few 7″ tablets do not have that resolution. Via Android Community, more here.
- Quick Look: Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - Droid Life has taken a look at the recently released Verizon Galaxy Note 2. The Verizon Note 2 offers connection to Verizon's 4G LTE network, but if you're out of LTE range you're stuck on CDMA. The Verizon version is much the same as the other US versions, except for Verizon branding all over the place. Via Droid-Life, more here.

Pregnant Duchess Catherine has revealed she wants a son while her husband Prince William is hoping for a daughter.
Duchess Catherine hopes she is pregnant with a boy.
The royal is expecting her first child later this year and while handing out symbolic shamrocks to members of the Irish Guards at the annual St. Patrick's Day ceremony on Sunday (17.03.13), Catherine revealed she wants a son while her husband Prince William is hoping for a daughter.
Guardsman Lee Wheeler said: ''I asked her do you know if it's a girl or a boy and she said not yet. She said 'I'd like to have a boy and William would like a girl.' I asked her if she had any names and she said no.''
Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage - also told Sergeant Thomas Laven she is prepared for many sleepless nights.
It was recently claimed the couple are expecting a girl, after a well-wisher presented her with a white teddy bear during an official visit to Grimsby, north England and she said: ''Thank you, I will take that for my d... for my baby.''
Sandra Cook, who was standing next to a woman who gave Kate the cuddly toy, said: ''As she handed it over I distinctly heard Kate say, 'Thank you, I will take that for my d...' Then she stopped and corrected herself to say, '... for my baby'.
''When she shook hands with me I said, 'You nearly slipped up there, you were going to say daughter, weren't you?' She smiled and said, 'What do you mean? We don't know yet'.
''I teased her and said, 'Oh I think you do' - to which, still smiling, she replied, 'We're not telling.' I'm certain it's a girl. She wouldn't have said the D-word otherwise. After she said it, she was a little flustered.''

Why 84% of Your Facebook Fans are Lurkers
Ari Herzog
How many times has your social media consultant, the local chamber of commerce, a conference presentation, and your favorite blog encouraged you to create a Facebook fan page? "It's the largest social networking site, and you'd be crazy to ignore it!" " someone cries out to you. "You can reach 800 million people with a single update!" " urges another.
Will Facebook Always Be Free? Probably Not For Everyone!
SocMed Sean
Recently, I've been spending a lot of time looking at the Terms of Use pages created by various social media platforms. After the recent controversy surrounding the Pinterest Terms of Use , I thought it might be a good idea to dig deeper into some of these mind-numbingly boring legal documents to see what other nuggets might be hiding amongst the legalese. Which leads me to the nugget!
Dissociation: Associations and the Reality of Irrelevance
I was talking with the Empress of Socialfish herself, Maddie Grant, trying to plan out my Social, In Theory topic. Maddie had asked me if I had any thoughts on "associations"; I am, after all, about to be a freshly minted "real person" – leaving grad school in May. She asked, "did you consider joining one in your quest for a job?" They are organized. Is it?
The Most Remarkable People on Social Media Today
I'm back from my keynote speech for the American Marketing Association – West Michigan where I talked about Influence. In my speech I reinforced my blog assertions that popularity is not influence and influence is not popularity. But then I added a new twist when it comes to measurement: As marketers, we need to start focusing on measuring intent instead of just measuring online influence. believe it's not just how popular somebody is online or how much influence they have, but whether they are intending to use that influence to effect change. believe it goes back to intent.

Beneath the presentation I've attached a few comments to the slides as some of them might not be self-explanatory ;-). View more presentations from Mindjumpers.
Social Media Isn't About The Numbers! Or Is It?
SocMed Sean
I've said it once, I'll say it again. If you ask me what my Klout score is …I'll likely vomit. Too many folks get caught up in the numbers game when it comes to social media. They use numbers like "friends", "followers" and…ewww…"Klout" to determine whether they are doing social right. So, should you ignore the numbers? Maybe.
Mission Driven or People Driven?
Is your organization mission or people driven? Are the two mutually exclusive or can they co-exist? I am confused. The claim of being "mission-driven" has been increasingly cropping up in our conversations with association executives lately. Everything in our strategic plan is guided by our mission," I am often told. For many, it embodies a core identity; a raison d'être for associations.

YOU Are The Influence
In my blog yesterday, I listed the most remarkable people on social media today. But there is one person I left off that list… YOU ! have said before that I firmly believe that influence is the power to affect someone's beliefs or to cause an action. And I also believe that everyone can have influence and has the ability to be influential – that includes YOU. With the social media tools at our disposal today, you have the power to form a message, motivate an action, and become an online influencer. But would you consider Kait Brand or Ellen Bremen powerful? Digg Digg.

Getting real engagement on your Facebook page
Janet Fouts
Many Facebook page owners are disappointed with the results they are getting from their Facebook pages. Sometimes because they think they'll put up a page and their fan base will flock to the site, dynamically post content on their own and discuss it with their peers, all without much effort from the community manager (if there is one). Hooey. So what do you do? Quit broadcasting. Quit marketing.
