I am digging that Spirit Halloween has started doing a series of funny Halloween viral videos this year.

Check out:

I am so excited that Halloween season is here!   YEAH!  I love HALLOWEEN !!!

There are much better props coming out this year than ever before.   Some really cool costumes too.

Home haunters are coming out with movie quality stuff.

Spirit Halloween has also stepped up this year with everything.  They ship worldwide now, they have more big props.   I can’t wait to get my new stuff.

This will be the best season EVER!

Mark Zuckerberg made an announcement today that Skype will be rolled out and easily used within the Facebook interface.   This is not completely shocking.  However I do think that this may be one of the next big steps in social media.

It should be very interesting to see how quickly it catches on.

It is July 4th already!   Wow.   Happy Independence Day!

This is a fantastic country and no matter how bad things are right now, we should feel blessed for all that we have.

I recently saw a news story where the anual income in Yemen is $1,000 per year.  This is not a lot of money.

God bless America.     Happy fourth of July everyone!

Gee.    Everybody still seems to be here after the May 21 end of the world or rapture or judgment day.

Anybody surprised?   Really?   Anybody?

For those of you that think the end of the world is May 21, would you please schedule all of your money to be sent to me on May 22?

Why not?   Don’t you believe it enough?

It is amazing that Halloween 2011 is in almost less than 200 days!  Some people are saying that it is too early to start thinking about Halloween.   Wrong!

Many home haunters start planning even before the end of the current season (pretty much always planning).

I am curious to see what new props and costumes will be coming out for the year.    Both store purchased at stores like Spirit Halloween and homemade props are getting movie quality!   I love it.      Makes you want to look into the future of what would be possible in the coming 5 years.

I hope to start posting the best of the best as the season progresses.

As I work for my clients I must say that it is nice to notice that the WORLD is figuring out the benefits of social media in most aspects of business.   

There are a lot of old school companies out there that do not understand the  need to now make it easier for their customers to be able to jump across all of their marketing channels.   Cross channel marketing is important.   It is the same customers that what help on your Facebook page to visit your store in the mall.  Promotions should be coordinated.   Information should be provided.

For the most part, I believe that the economy has forced these companies

Everything chatters.  All channels matter.
