BT offer staff paid leave… if no coersion could be a geat deal? See: http://bit.ly/WieyH

New laptop arrived… Dilemma – should I get to grips with Office 2007 and those ribbons or switch to Open Office?

Is this for real?

Twitter Traffic Machine is the new hottest product on Clickbank.

Bill Crosby, it’s creator claims to have recruited over 16,000 followers in 90 days, pretty much on autopilot!

Wouldn’t it be neat to automate your contacts with 16,000 followers in any business niche?

I confess I still struggle with Twitter – I have multiple business personalities and haven’t quite figured out how to manage them effectively – but goodness knows, this is a big enough incentive for me to “pull out my finger” and get building a list of followers!

Bill reckons he has distilled 2,000 hours of “playing” with Twitter into 60 minutes of video where he shows us how to automate all the content and relationship management – exactly how do you have a relationship with 16,000 people? Guess I’ll have to buy Twitter Traffic Machine myself and find out.

Can you imagine… if you shorten a URL to make it Twitter-friendly, people have to click on it to see what it is… and if you have even a 1% response rate, that’s 1,600 clicks from 16,000 followers…. impressive. If the sales page has a 3% conversion rate that’s 48 sales – from a single Tweet!

OK Guys, let’s get serious here – follow me please!!!!! http://twitter.com/MargaretCollins

Time Management For PhD students: 2 days, 2 places, 2 totally different group responses. Would life be easier if it were more predictable?

Project review meeting today – what are we going to do in 2009 to make success inevitable?! It’s good to get a bigger picture overview!

Printing Christmas card labels – a 5 min job that takes 90 min! They do look good with little sprigs of holly though (thanks Bec!).

London commuting today… Yuk! So glad I’ve left this behind on a regular basis. PI workshops at UCL will cheer me up!

Researcher career development – can I inspire them to be entrepreneurs? What a workshop I have planned! What would you do?
