Times have changed...

As I watch CNBC and like programs, the "D" word is starting to be mentioned. I think in many ways it is at least a healthy sign that people are at least starting to see the scope of the issue. I think a great many more people will realize this over the coming weeks with the likely nationalization of Citicorp and Bank of America. I think the proverbial "writting is on the way." Regardless of the administrations statements about 'prefering a private banking system,' over the next few weeks, I think the scope of the problem will make it evident that the banks are flat broke. In addition, the moral hazard issues of people not paying their loans to get government deals will provide the final blows. I hope the resolution will come quickly as I think the biggest potential problem could be the 1930s type "run on the bank." I pray for calm and for good governmental leadership in this perilous time of our history. We are at a real cross road in our country's history.

New Years Thought on Websites

This is the time of year when I get the call. The call always says "Todd Hunnicutt, What Can I do to increase my internet leads"? I have a few suggestions for all here:

1. Write some new content on your page--keep it fresh, new, short and relevent

2. Check some keyword buys at http://adwords.google.com. This is easy and Google will walk you through this. Like the stocks on the stockmarket, you can get a lot more bang for the buck right now

3. Ad some fresh pictures and tell your story in a new way!

This is Todd Hunnicutt...signing off and wishing everyone a happy New Year. For more information, contact me, Todd Hunnicutt at todd@realinternetsales.com

Family

Enjoying watching TJ and Maddie "wii out" tonight. TJ with his skateboard balance has quickly come in and claimed several of the records though we have had an entire week to learn the games. I have no doubt by the time he heads back to G'vegas for work on Sunday. He is "cat like" on his feet and has balance plus.Of course, Maddie is not to be outdone either. She still holds the record for the "ski jump" and may just fight TJ off for the crown there. But, the rest of us are DOOMED.

Alex has a ski trip tomorrow and I only wished I felt as good about his skiing as I do TJs. Or to put it differently, I wish I felt as good about his skiing as I do his musical ability---check HUNNI on mySpace (he's really talented).

Saw my Granny and Papa B last night. I really feel sorry for folks who dont have Grandparents--sage wisdom, optimism, Godly values, and all wrapped up in a loving smile; that's what my Grandparents are. They are the kind of folks you can tell a problem to and they will clear your path. I have been so blessed by the Good Lord to have had all my Grandparents durring my life time--my Mom's folks and my Dad's folks. I learned a great deal from them---in both matters of the head and the heart.

Hi Guys and Gals,

Todd Hunnicutt here. Todd wants to tell you about a recent meeting with a major real estate firm in a major US market. Here is what I observed:1. No Ideal of Social Marketing. I had an agent after the meeting come up and say, "Mr. Hunnicutt, what is FaceBook?" Now I am not poking fun here. But, the next evolution on the web is people using "confirmation loops" like FaceBook and my Space to confirm their online behavior. Keep this in mind...its important2. Understand what a Blog is--but not working one.

Again, a Blog will allow you to express more of your personal chemisty and thoughts. It helps define you...go to Blogger.com or somewhere like that and get started today. If you encounter problems, contact me, Todd Hunnicutt at todd@realinternetsales.comSo Todd says, make these two decisions today---get on FaceBook and do a Blog. Class Dismissed!
