Twitter is such a hot topic these days in the world of social marketing.
I recently held a free course for my fellow virtual assistants, called “Using Twitter for Business”, and recorded it through GoToMeeting.
I’ve also just created a new HubPage called “How To Use Twitter For Business“, which includes a lot of details and links to the great Twitter tools I use and others I recommend.
In honor of Flag Day, this Outlook video tip is about the new and improved flagging features of Outlook 2007. It takes your productivity to a whole new level, what with tight integration with the new To-Do Bar of Outlook, keeping up on what you need to keep up on has never been easier. List Makers Unite!
Thanks to my friend and colleague, Andrea Cannavina of www.legaltypist.com, for suggesting the idea for this video tip.
Check out the video.

Are you feeling the pressure of not being able to fit social marketing into your schedule? We’ve built a program just for you!
We developed a course that has been specifically designed for those that are already stretched on time, but still want to use social marketing sites and strategies to build and market their business. Sound like anyone you
know??
With this email-delivered program, you can create a complete social marketing strategy with limited amounts of time to devote to its growth. Juggling everything may seem daunting, but with a regular
schedule, you’ll be able to maximize your efforts with less time than you think.
Who this program is perfect for:
• -those that believe they are too busy to fit social marketing into their schedule.
• -those that are overwhelmed by all they read that they SHOULD be doing.
• -those that can commit to spending 15 to 30 minutes a day to tend to their social marketing structure.
Why this program is different from other social marketing courses:
• -It won’t cover absolutely everything available in the social marketing arena, which is likely to overwhelm you.
• -It will focus on the most effective strategies.
• -It provides a companion website for course material and ongoing news, tips, and ideas in the social marketing world – this is located in the E-Learning Center.
• -We’ll be helping you to participate in your social marketing strategy in manageable chunks.
-Program plan:
• -Setup – Your first 6 emails will be once a week and are focused on laying the groundwork for your success. These are spaced so you’ll have plenty of time in between each one to get everything done.
• -The Grunt Work — After the groundwork is done, you’ll receive daily emails for the next 21 days walking you through how to effectively market your business using the social networking sites and other strategies.
• -Follow-up — After the daily emails, we’ll follow up with reminders, tips & tricks once a week for 4 weeks, then twice a month for 2 months
• -Companion Website to keep you current. Fresh and new content is added regularly! All the material that is received via email is also posted here. Perfect for those that want to speed up or slow down the course. I’ve already posted an additional 14 bonus content items, with more to come.
The cost is only $85 for both the email-delivered program PLUS 6 months access to the companion website and all the bonus content. To sign up, go to: www.virtualassist.net/amember and log in. If you’re not already registered, you’ll be asked to register first.
since this is Part Two, I’ll just repeat what I wrote in Part One…
I just love this feature! This is one of the best integration features between Office 2003/Office
2007 and SharePoint.
The task pane is named something different in Office 2003 than it is in Office 2007, but the
functionality is still the same.
These task panes allow you to access and modify content in a SharePoint site from within Office
without having to navigate to the site using your browser. The feature is available in the following
Office 2003 and Office 2007 applications: Word, Excel, Microsoft Project, OneNote, PowerPoint, and
Visio.
The Shared Workspace or Document Management task pane provides a link that will open the site in a
browser window and an Update button to refresh the site contents and displays the following tabs of
information:
1) Status
2) Members
3) Tasks
4) Documents
5) Links
6) Document Information
All of these tabs include a Get Updates button that retrieves the latest information from SharePoint
and refreshes the task pane.
Check out the Part Two video below.

I know, I know…it’s only been a few days since my last podcast. But I just had to try out my new Aweber Blog Broadcast feature that I’ve connected to this blog site. If all goes well, it will replace the emails you normally get if you’ve subscribed to this via the email option. I have noticed it seems to get confused by the video player I put in my posts, so we’ll see if I like it enough to keep it, or if I’m sticking with what I have. I’m still testing, but will keep you posted, especially because you’ll get another opt-in email.
Anyhoo…on to the new video tip.
Let’s talk about how to share your Outlook Distribution Lists with others. This is so simple it’s not even funny. If you have distribution lists and you want to send them to others, simply include them as attachments in your email to them. Once the recipient gets your email they’ll drag and drop the attachment to their contact folder in Outlook. Didn’t I tell you it was easy?!??!
Oh and absolutely, sharing a distribution list is not to be confused with sending your contact items.
The send method for contacts will depend on just how many contacts we’re talking about. Less than 30, I’d use the Send As vCard feature (select the multiple contacts>Actions menu>Send as vCard. The terminology is a little different in Ol2007, but it’s in the Actions menu area. If it’s a lot of contacts then they should export out as csv file, send to you, and you import them from the csv file.
Watch the video below to see this process in action.
