Where I disagree with Mary on this is: marketers have been using mailing lists for ages to send targeted sales messages to people. Also, a whole new generation has been growing up where they have never known a world without the Internet. Privacy means something entirely different to them than it does us "old timers." Give the Internet another generation after this group and we really won't be able to distinguish between where our online life and our real one ends. I don't think people in the very near future are really going to care too much as long as they don't feel like they are being spammed. It's a brave new world we have landed upon and we will discover things about ourselves and others that would never have been accepted back in the old world. ~ Tim Conley PS.

Even the good ones need some custom changes. I like the look of some of iThemes.com WP themes and Thesis has a good administrative section for easy customization. What you can do is find a theme design you like and then outsource the custom changes you want done. This can save you time and money.

One had to do a search for my biz card and the other can't find it. Is there something missing from your instructions of "add #twtbizcard to a @reply"?
