Social Media for Startups

 Two books I am reading now, both talking about the Impact of social media on business.

I'll share some new ideas about startup, small business soon, stay tuned!

Watch for a post here in the next day or two, and I'm going to talk about new ideas for startup and social media this Friday (Jan 2), 10 am on The Startup Show. Watch it right here, mark your calendar, Friday, 1/2, 10 am www.JohnWren.com If you miss it live, there will immediately (almost) be a link to a recording of the show right ere at 10:30 am.

If you have a "secret" about the use of social media during startup, post it here as a comment and I'll share on the show, or call me (303)861-1447 where you can also call if you'd like to be a guest on the show to share your startup experience some Friday.

More here on social media soon.

Apple ID problem for you too?

I've been trying to get an Apple ID/password for weeks.

Becoming a critical problem. I have 26 app updates I can't make, a couple of new apps I'd like to download but can't because of this problem.

Just had very, very bad experience with their service tech on chat.

Keep getting run around. Very well could be that I've done something stupid like set up two accounts with them, now they are tangled up.

But whatever caused the problem, doesn't seem to me it should be this hard to fix.

Anyone else having a problem? Looks like there might be a few of you, traffic has picked up on www.JohnWren.com

Never, never, never quit!

Losers pivot. Winners grind.

" Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.''

Winston Churchill, October 29, 1941 to the boys at Harrow School.
