How viable is social networking to increase business and get new leads? I’ve been looking into it a lot of late. Having been one that has used face to face selling most of my business life (since age 15) I feel the internet was about to kill this form of business relationships. Along comes blogging, myspace, twitter and facebook as the online answer to face to face relationship selling only better.

I gathered the information I found and put to use into a took kit type package. You might want to check it out if your new to all this or experienced and wanting to get an extra edge.

Were just breaking inroads into using this form of marketing for business, so why not jump on it today and be ahead of the curve?

I learned this afternoon that Forest Ackerman died in Horrorwood today.

For most of you, you may be saying who??? However if you were growing up in the 1950’s until the mid ’s 1980’s and a boy (although girls were not excluded) chances are once a month you would run, not walk down to the corner newsstand or in my case the Rexall drug store, plop down your hard earned allowance and get the latest edition of Famous Monsters of Flimland.

Inside were many hours of imagination for the young mind and those ads, those  captivating ads for all kinds of gadgets and the introduction to the Don Post Famous Monster masks. These were the same masks I latter used 9along with many other spookers) in many of my live horror spook shows.

Forry was the one who refused to let the Hollywood famous monsters die or the men and women who created them. He keep them alive in the pages of The Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, long after the studios cast them off.

His house was a legendary museum of Hollywood or as he coined it “Horrorwood” collectibles.

Forry you lived a long life and did well my friend in keeping the nightmares alive, now take the well deserved rest and tell the Channey’s, Karloff and Lugosi we never forgot them. – Rick
