Where did the Easter bunny come from? Why the eggs? Is Easter a Christian holiday? Pastor Burns has 30 years of experience in the word and explains Easter.

This is from an article by TweetSmarter.com It is a guide for tips before sending a tweet to a potential customer, but I think it is just good advice in general. It is a great way to find and build rapport with quality people.

35 Extra Seconds Starts A Relationships...

Here’s the minimum you should do before sending someone a sales tweet. First, have Twitter advanced search and Favstar.fm open to speed things up.

Use Twitter advanced search to find tweets from people that might be interested in your product or service. This you would have to do anyway, so I’m not counting this against your extra time investment 

5 Seconds:  Click to open their bio and review quickly. If they seem unsuitable, skip them. If there is a link in their bio that seems interesting, click and check it out. (Not strictly necessary, but I always do this when I meet someone new.)

5 Seconds:  Use the steps in http://bit.ly/Link-A-Tweet to go to the page for the tweet that shows their interest. Bookmark it (use Ctrl-D for speed) so you can come back to it later.

5 Seconds:  Follow them and add them to a Twitter list (here’s how to do that) called “Interesting People.” Yes, you could call it “prospects” or whatever makes sense for you, and make it a private Twitter list, but the public list approach is better.

10 Seconds:  Copy their username, Go to Favstar.fm, click the “Choose User” link at the top, paste in their username, and press enter.

10 Seconds:  You are now looking at that user’s most popular tweets. Do one or more of the following steps: Fav one or more that you like. If you really like one, retweet it. Finally, consider replying to any of their tweets. (You might want to also review their most recent tweets on Twitter.)

Wait at least a few hours (days are better) to see who tweets to you. Some will thank you for the fav or RT or follow. Next, go back through the tweets you bookmarked in your browser. They will indicate who has followed you back. Tweet your friendly, helpful carefully worded sales pitch to the ones that tweeted you, or followed you back. (I’m not counting this against your time investment because you would have done that anyway.)

This app is hilarious...

Last night I watched ESPN's 30 for 30: Once Brothers: A Broken Relationship - Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac.

It's a pretty amazing story, if you have Netflix or Amazon Prime I recommend it.

"Check out his appeal at the 7:45 mark."

Actors typically promote their television shows to the public, as a large viewership means high ratings — not to mention continued employment. But Angus T. Jones, the 19-year-old star of sitcom Two and a Half Men, is doing the exact opposite.

In a new YouTube video, above, Jones tells viewers to “stop watching” his show, calling it “filth.” (Check out his appeal at the 7:45 mark.)

“If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching Two and a Half Men. I’m on Two and a Half Men; I don’t want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth,” says Jones, who has been on the show since 2003. “People say, ‘It’s just entertainment.’”

“Do some research on the effects of television in your brain, and I promise you you’ll have a decision to make when it comes to … what you watch on the television. It’s bad news.”

What is your favorite way to share music on Twitter?

I talk with people all the time about Shark Tank. People often tell me they would LOVE to watch it, but they can't watch it because maybe they are over seas, or they don't watch TV, or get in in their area.

Here are 2 places you can watch it online for Free!
