Googling At The Gas Station

Before I dive into this month's topics, let me say 'thanks' for another great year at Excelleweb. Without the support from my subscribers who've given me referrals or afforded me the opportunity to work with them directly, Excelleweb would not have been nearly as successful!

Google Coming To Your Neighborhood

Recently the Columbus Dispatch posted an article about Google partnering with gas stations to provide Google Maps at the pump. Thank God for Google! For as long as I've been married and traveled around the country on vacations, I've been the typical husband who hates to ask for directions. I'd much rather figure it out. My Dad was the same way. I must have picked that gene up from him.

Not only can I now get directions, but I can find the nearest restaurants, golf courses, hotels, etc. Now at least I've got something to smile about at the gas station while I fill up at $3.20 a gallon! Read the full article here.

A Desktop We Can All Appreciate

I stumbled across a very cool new desktop interface called BumpTop. It's one of the most creative things I've ever seen. It enables you to organize the desktop of your computer just like you would with an ordinary 'piece of furniture' type of desk.

How many of you out there have icons filling up nearly the entire portion of your monitor screen? Then you have to scan over the entire monitor to find the shortcut link to open a document or a program. Watch this video to see how simple, yet extremely creative you can be in organizing your computer files and applications.

The two items posted this month only go to prove that with creativity your business can be a success. What great ideas do you have for your business?

Only you can kill that idea in your mind. Take the next step. Then another one after that. Google and BumpTop would never have come into existence without the relentless pursuit of putting ideas into action.

One last thing...Happy Thanksiving!
