About six weeks ago, Ashley was contacted by Rick Nathanson of the Albuquerque Journal who was doing a story about Pinterest. Ashley explained how we and other Albuquerque-based businesses are using it to collaborate and network B2B and B2C. Ashley mentioned how she recently taught a class at WestStar Mortgage to local area realtors and [...]
Take one part Google+, one part Groupon, plus two parts Gephart, throw them into a Google+ hangout, and watch Rev. D, Groupon Affiliate Specialist, perform a renewal vow ceremony this Friday, Mar 30th, 5PM EDT (4PM CDT/3PM MDT/2PM PDT). Groupon sent out this email this past week: “Wedding season is right around the corner, and [...]
As we were recently updating clients’ sites to include Google+, we quickly realized that many of the packs of social media icons out there are old enough not to include Google+. After rather extensive searching, and finding many that contained only Google Wave or Buzz or broken links, we found five sets that we’d like [...]
No doubt about it, Pinterest is one of the fastest-growing social media sites ever! With over 10,000,000 unique visitors in January (according to Comscore), Pinterest is second only to Facebook for average on-site time spent per month! It’s no wonder businesses contemplate just how they can use Pinterest most effectively. The “80/20″ rule definitely applies [...]
Often, we’re asked, “How do I find the time to manage my social media accounts? I have clients to see during the day. I can’t be online all day!” Of course you can’t! There’s no need to be tied to your Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, or blog all day. On the other hand, 6:00 a.m. might [...]

Imagine my surprise when I found not one, not two, but 38 different agents still listing a brokerage that went out of business over a year ago as their current employer! I checked [...]
What is Gentlemint? As simply stated by the co-founders (Brian McKinney & Glen Stansberry) of this new social media site, “A Mint of Manly Things.” Ladies, take heart, there are no gender barriers to membership. As a matter of fact, my wife, Ashley Drake Gephart, was a “Gentleminter” almost a week before I was. Perusing [...]

As I’ve said before, Microsoft’s trend in the last couple of Windows versions has been to move the user off the desktop and toward the taskbar. Well, if you’re like me, you like all of your most frequently used apps to have distinguishable shortcuts. So, you customize them as best as you can visually. But [...]
Those of you who know me know all too well how passionate I am about Firefox. Besides my open-source convictions of Mozilla, I have always loved the browser for its ability to be greatly customizable through its registry of settings and many developers’ add-ons. One of my favorite add-ons (and I have many) I find [...]
