You know the power of social media. But can you use it wisely? Dishonesty, deception, unethical behavior and tactics. The dark side are they.

Shawn,

Any word about the BizSugar Book? David L. and I are on board! I'm already working on the "BIZSugar: The Movie" script!

Opening scene:

Anita: "Shawn, there's some moderating to do. Then we have a "BizSugar The Book" signing to do down at Border's."

Shawn: "I've got lunch with Trump in half an hour and a round of golf with Jobs at 3:30. After that, perhaps I'll have time."

Shawn's cellphone goes off...

"I gotta take this call, I got Bernanke on the line..."

Fade to black...

:) :)

Hi Shawn, I'm not sure when telling the truth got to be such a novel idea in business. Sadly, your message is relevant and necessary. Didn't we learn anything from used car salesmen?

Yes! Absolutely. Out the Sith must go from marketing and PR. Thanks for a post that encourages truth, transparency, and authenticity.

Out of this world post Shawn quite literally! Great info and fun. Maybe next posty you will have Darth running a fruit and vegetable stand, combining two great posts? Keep writing and I'll keep reading!

Shawn,

You have just made my day, week and month with this post! Incredible original! Insightful! Ground-breaking! Who knew Darth Vader was borderline! is he on medication?

This is very serious information (the Social Media part) wrapped up in a very entertaining and fun outer layer.

I love these types of fun, somewhat over-the-top posts. They are a pleasure to read!

But I will show this to Rivka's granny when she comes over later and I guarantee...she will be less than pleased at the style ! :)

Loved it!

Yoni
