Debbie loves the smart and pragmatic points of view presented by panelists of the Greater Wilmington Business Power Breakfast on “Brand Wilmington” held on Tuesday, September 22. I was particularly impressed with the comments made by Melanie Cox, Executive Director of Coastal Carolina Tomorrow and Chad Paul, Managing Partner of Harbor Island Partners. Both advocated that Wilmington take a broad view regarding the types of businesses and industry we welcome into our community. High tech, “knowledge-based” businesses are wonderful and we want more of them. But we need a healthy mix of all types of business to sustain a vibrant community. We cannot exclude manufacturing. Bravo to GWB for hosting a great event and to the speakers who reminded us that Wilmington should support diversity in all aspects of our community — including industry.
Nathan loves Market Samurai – When it comes to doing niche or long-tail keyword research, Market Samurai is a great tool in finding keywords in bulk while also crunching the numbers on a lot of common SEO factors that help determine the viability of a particular keywords. While Market Samurai isn’t free, they do have a great free trial that you can download to see how it suits your needs.
Shawn loves that sometimes less really is more.
Susan loves Banned books week– I’m an avid reader. And little gets me more riled up than when great works of literature get banned for idiotic reasons. I understand not wanting children to read books that have graphic violence or explicit sex. But c’mon, a tale of a boy wizard who ensures good triumphs over evil and demonstrates the importance of family, selfless acts of kindness and being loyal to your friends, how is that bad for anyone to read? So if you love books and believe in what they can stand for, celebrate Banned Books Week from September 26 through October 3!
