Twin Red Media founder Justin Powell was interviewed for an article about the NJ Professionals networking business organization. The article appeared February 2010 issue of Morris Health and Life Magazine on page 12 of the print edition of the magazine.

The article quotes Justin about why he joined NJ Professionals:

We'd like to extend our thoughts and prayers to our neighbors in Haiti.

During the tragedy that unfolded in the aftermath of the earthquake and numerous aftershocks that pounded the people of Haiti, a new channel of online fundraising has come of age. The American Red Cross has reported that over $22 million in aid to Haiti was raised via cellphone text message. This far exceeds the previous record of $400,000 that was raised for a fundraising campaign via text message.

A friend of mine works for NJ Audubon and shared this amazingly cute video of red fox kits. For more information about NJ Audubon, please go to the NJ Audubon Home Page and I encourage you to contribute to this great environmental organization at their donation page.

According to a new study, most small businesses are not leveraging social media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. The study, conducted by Citibank and GfK Roper, found that 76 percent of small-business owners had not used social media or found it helpful in generating business leads during the prior year.

I'm pleased to announce that Twin Red Media has joined the Randolph Area Chamber of Commerce in Morris County NJ.

We're very excited about the opportunity to meet and collaborate with area businesses. Our first meeting included an informative presentation by Lou Pangaro of the Randolph Economic Development Committee discussing what's happening in our town business landscape. We look forward to October's multi-chamber luncheon.
