The Pope Tweets

"Dear Friends, I just launched News.va  Praise be our Lord Jesus Christ!  With my prayers and blessings, Benedictus XVI"

According to the Associated Press, the Pope sent this tweet on Twitter....... from an iPad.  Hey, the Holy Father is 84 years old.  Out of respect I won't refer to him as an "Old Dog", but he sure has learned some New Tricks at 84 years young.

What's your excuse?

I'm 100% in favor of using any method or platform to talk about the Creator, and I applaud the Pope for doing so.  But there are many benefits to engaging in social media.  Are you using Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and other social media to improve your business and your life? 

Consider posting a profile on LinkedIn.  By building your own profile page now, you'll have it when you need it (to attract business, advance your career or find a new job). 

For those who haven't yet utilized LinkedIn, it really is quite easy to get started.  Simply log on to www.linkedin.com and follow the steps to creating your own profile.  This social media platform is for business purposes, and less informal than Facebook.  Give it a try!  You can find me there at www.linkedin.com/in/smittyboros . 


If you visit me on LinkedIn or stop by my Facebook company page, The Boros Company (don't forget to click on "Like" and make me smile), please email me at sboros@zoominternet.com with your candid feedback.  This Old Dog would love to learn a New Trick or two.

Just like Pope Benedictus has done.

Thanks for sharing 79 seconds of your day,
Smitty
