You have a larger workspace, obviously. I use MS software in my office which has one small drawback in that it has no button for moving material from one screen to the other. I use a commercial package at home where I supplement my laptop with a comparable monitor. Works fine. I'll return later to report on my software alternative to MS. Two monitors are very useful in answering e-mail, working with databases also. I’ve been using two monitors for a couple of years. i could not imagine going back to one.

Now I know what to do with my other free hand while I'm surfing. It could work the other mouse. Multi-tasking what a concept! Sounds great.

I was in our database, a spreadsheet and my email as well as other applications or web research all day long. The monitors really helped to look at my current application on one screen and do the research on the other without the hassle and distraction of flipping back and forth. Within a year the clerks in our office had also switched to using two monitors and they love it. Since then others in our office have also added a second monitor as they have become available. It's easier on your eyes too. I was the first to use dual monitors in our office about five years ago.

I think search engine marketing and SEO are crucial for any business today, but social media marketing is really taking off as well and should not be overlooked. I have noticed a lot more companies advertising their twitter account (BestBuy - twitter.com/twelpforce) as a way to sell their services (GeekSquad) and products or their facebook profile (TGI Fridays - facebook.com/fanwoody).

]]> Comment on Corporate volunteering: we did it – and you can, too by Kerri Bishop http://blog.buyerzone.com/2009/11/03/volunteering/comment-page-1/#comment-333 Kerri Bishop Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:55:45 +0000 http://blog.buyerzone.com/?p=869#comment-333 This is a great article and really shows how volunteering can benefit your organization and the non-profit that you choose to work with. Our team building company has seen a dramatic increase in groups wanting to incorporate some type of "give back" element into their team building events. Your company can coordinate directly with a local non-profit organization to arrange a volunteer day or you can hire a team building company to arrange it for you. Visit http://wildlydifferent.com/team-building-charity-activities.php for examples of other events that have a charitable twist.

Many of these phones come unlocked and then all you have to do is purchase a regular plan thru your phone provider and add the upgrade to ensure you get all of the benefits of using a blackberry. I purchase many online for under $100 and many have money back guarantees, or warranty provided. try online thru ebay.
