Place and time have been decided, but not start location.

We are going to end up on the Bob Kerrey Memorial Pedestrian Bridge. To get there, we plan on marching with signs from two predesignated gathering points. People can join in along the way, or else meet us at the bridge if you do not want to walk the distance.

When we are at the bridge, it looks as if we are going to lower huge 'tea bags' from the bridge expressing our anger against the rampant spending by the federal government and their voting block buddies Ben Nelson and Tom Harkin.

One start location will be in Omaha. The other will be in Council Bluffs, so our Iowa friends can join us on the bridge from their side.

Other plans will be added to this list as we develop them, but I've had a lot of questions as to our plans.

Abstract Show full release

San Diego, CA – March 10, 2009 – Artistic Hub, the leader in on-demand merchandising and virtual design, today announced the first in a series of Social Media Workshops aimed to aid individuals not familiar with social media to gain the tools to build their businesses and careers. The first workshop will be held on March 27, 2009 in Omaha, NE at the Gallup Institute. Cost of attendance is $79 for the all day workshop including course materials.

As corporate adoption of social networking continues to increase year over year, social media is becoming harder to ignore. Many executives are unsure how to utilize social media tools themselves, or how to strategize social media for corporate success. The Social Media Workshops by Artistic Hub will be hands-on and interactive, incorporating topics such as blogging, how to utilize LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and more. Attendees will walk away with a greater understanding of these tools and the capability to leverage them within their careers and everyday lives

Home Sellers, did you know your Realtor® can now receive REAL TIME updates to their PHONE when your home is being shown?

Why is This Important To You?

Wouldn't it be nice to have immediate feedback on your home? Wouldn't it be helpful to have an electronic record of all showings that your Realtor® could review with you at the end of each month? Not to mention also being able to electronically track everyone with access to your home.

Do you expect your Realtor® to utilize ALL TOOLS AVAILABLE to SELL your home? If you answered YES, you need a technology savvy Realtor®. With 84% of all buyer's starting their home search on-line and a 9 month inventory of homes in the Omaha market, can you afford not to?

The next time you interview a Real Estate Agent, here are the Top 10 Technology questions to ask.
