Well, after the mammoth declutter of our house, where we've lived for 20 years, we put it on the market and were lucky enough to sell in less than 48 hours. So we're buying a new place. Meantime I'm awash in addendums (addendi - ?) and other offline details. Back soon...

P.S. If you're thinking of selling your house, decluttering really works. Our house looked twice as big! (Great before & after photos in Decluttering to Make the Sale from HGTV.)

I'll be joining Dan Pink, author of A Whole New Mind, and Rich Sloan, co-author of StartupNation, for a panel discussion with New York Times best-selling author Seth Godin about his new book, Meatball Sundae. We'll help you discover the one thing that will make or break your marketing efforts this year. Tune in FREE to this one-hour teleconference.

It's no surprise in this election year that we're realizing how powerful social media can be for making things happen -- whether it's support for a candidate, the launch of a movie or a a car. Or for a cause.
