VISIBILITY in the 21st Century

Glenn Gissler - Blog - 2015 - Concert_Hands_Up_Wide

Being a man of a certain age I like to see others ‘swimming in the water’ before I jump in. I am a pretty ‘late adopter’, I admit it.

Out of curiosity I joined Facebook in 2008, but it wasn’t until the Fall of 2013 that I began to really focus my efforts and see what greater participation in the socali media landscape might bring.

Over 14,000 images pinned on Pinterest

Over 4,000 connections on LinkedIn
