About Me

By day I'm a consultant working with a popular line of accounting software called Sage MAS 90.

My company web site is http://www.s-consult.com and we provide training, consulting and troubleshooting for all versions of Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 to customers located throughout the United States.

I live in Glastonbury with my two kids (aged 9) who bring special meaning to the concept that "all kids are cute when they're somebody else's".

In my spare time I love hiking, disco dancing, macrame, ping pong, and watching paint dry.

The thoughts and commentary on this page are my own and not anyone else's but shouldn't that be obvious?

My6Sense iPhone App makes social sharing a snap - now available

 

If you enjoy RSS feeds (albeit a tad slow) and telling your social media buddies about stories that you've liked - this free application might be for you. It's purpose is to watch what you read online and then over time suggest (from RSS feeds that you've supplied to it) which stories you may be most interested in.

As I've started to use this most of what I see is Techcrunch related - leaving me hoping this isn't going to turn into "Techmeme" for RSS feed readers. I'm hopeful over time that I'll be getting more relveant suggestions.

 

PROS:

  1. Free
  2. Easy to share on Twitter, Facebook Friendfeed or via email
  3. Claims to ultimately prioritize your RSS feed reading (jury's still out on this until I can test it a few days)

 

CONS:

  1. Slow
  2. Only 10 RSS stories per screen (!!!)
  3. Did I mention that it's slow?
  4. Setup options seem lacking
  5. No way to zoom in on one particular feed source and read all those articles
  6. Speed - oops - I think I mentioned this is slow

Hey MAS90 consultants - social media is a fad - part deux

Over the years I've heard that my social media marketing model doesn't work. That I'll never be able to vacation and supporting all those client is impossible without a receptionist, account manager, salesperson and a hefty (if ineffective) traditional marketing budget.
 
Curiously a number of those Sage VARS who told me how stupid my business model was are no longer in business. They've merged, consolidated or just left the business altogether.
 
And while the label "social media" is a bit faddish -- I'm still convinced that non-traditional marketing that keeps you in constant touch with your prospects and clients is THE way to go.
 
For those Sage VARS/Consultants who haven't figured this out - keep on using those tired tactics and ridiculing those that you've yet to try. Makes life easier for the rest of us.
