Can the iPad change the way you do business? Remains the most commented and liked Topic, but since this was started by our very own Cory he’s not going to get the $500 Amazon gift award for most active post. You know the sweepstakes rules; excludes employees, their family, Facebook friends and pets. And there are too many second places at this point. So I’ll extend the deadline until the end of May to see if we can shake things-up more. Jump in and make a suggestion, vote and comment on others. This has been super helpful in building out our editorial calendar and content that supports your business and engages your clients. Contest Details below.
