My intention is to blog about my work and life observations and insights. I am a futurepreneur who is interested in business and the internet. I spend time researching web sites and enjoy discovering web related and social media trends. Trending topics are other things that I am interested in- they will evolve and change over time. I am a specialist in Social Media. I consult to companies about how to use the internet to achieve business objectives. Follow me on twitter; that is where I share interesting stuff. *all the photos on this blog are taken by tommy.Links to older posts: Joanne SpainTumblr (3.0; @joannespain)http://joannespain.com/Technology is changing the way we communicate; online & offline.
