Mobile Enterprise Strategies Hits the One Million Mark
Thank You from Kevin Benedict! |
There are now 1,652 articles here. When I read some of the older ones I am embarrassed at what I wrote, and how I wrote it, but that goes along with the territory. You can't write Shakespeare every day!
Some days as I am researching and writing about mobile strategies in Boise, Idaho, it seems I am working alone, however, these numbers provide evidence that others are finding these articles and newsletters of value as well. Thanks again for reading and sharing!
