Word of Mouth Manual: Volume II
My lens on a book I have read recently for a BzzAgent.com. This book not only really explains word of mouth marketing, but also clarifies the difference between word of mouth and viral marketing. Dave Balter (the author) is also rather funny and kept me chuckling throughout the entire book. A quick read, but lots of good information. Did I mention it is kind of funny? You can buy this book or download it for free as a PDF.

Green Camping
Camping is one of my all time favorite activities ever every summer I make sure that we are out as often as humanly possible. If we want to ensure that there will be beautiful natural places to camp in the future we need to do our best to leave these places as we found them. This lens will give information on how we can camp green and take care of the nature we love.

Pudgie Pies
What's camping without pudgie pies? My answer: If there are no Pudgie Pies, then its just not camping. Whether you spell it Pudgie, Pudgy, or even Pudgi it means a fun, easy, and tasty camping treat. And really the sky is the limit on what you can make in these handy little pie irons.

I'm not a feminist or anything. . .but
Usually what follows the previous statement is something that fits directly with feminist ideals and values. Why are people so afraid to identify themselves as feminist? When did feminism become such a dirty word? The definition of a feminist is a person who has belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. Pretty terrible huh?
