Announcement: Due to my health issues, I will only be writing posts for the Art of Eloquence blog once a month. If you would like more information, tips and free gifts, please subscribe to our twice monthly newsletter. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Have you noticed that some of social media posts will garner tons of "likes," retweets, shares, and comments, but others...well...they just don't? It seemed to me that the ones that are the most important are commonly in the latter group. Frustrated, I looked deeper into this issue and was surprised by what I found. I think you will be too, but it's an important communication lesson for us all in the Technological Age. By the way, I encourage you to read...
A most beloved author, Dr. Seuss, died on this day in 1991. As I reflected on how much joy this author brought to me and my children over the years even after his death, I found an obscure blog post by an author who dubbed a day back in August as Support an Author Day and asked everyone to like his Facebook Fan page.

These are folks who take the time to write up their own, unique insights...

I don't normally post on Thursdays, but I began to notice a new Deadly Communication Sin of Advertising the other day that was confirmed for me just yesterday. Since this one is new, it's not part of my article, "The 12 Deadly Communication Sins of Advertising," BUT you should be aware of it. Here's how it works: You receive an email notifying you that you have a new comment to a Facebook post. It says you should check out this link for special deals on XYZ.
