I saw this link from a fellow social media user Matthew Petro (@MatthewPetro) on twitter.

It is a great post by a coffe shop owner who is using Social Media to draw in customers. The main point of the post is to cover his attendance of the Social Media Day event in Tempe, AZ, which I had also attended last week. I agree with him that the stories shared there were not the best, but I blame that on the limited time they were given.

He then proceeds to tell HIS story, which I think is a good one. I wont try to recap it here, and leave it to you to read his blog post.

But the most important points in the post are summarized by him in the last paragraph, which is the one pointed out by Matthew as being important for small businesses. If you are a small business owner you need to learn about Social Media and how it can help grow your business.

This right now is still being setup but eventually will be used for me to post development/social media/work related blog posts.

It will also be a place to get any code samples I create and post as well as any software I release.

I currently don’t have a twitter account for MathLion, but if you want to follow my personal life and interests (my kids, Disney, podcasts) you can at @mikescott8
