Brag Basket is open to everyone

By Small Biz Survival

Each Friday, I open the brag basket as a fun place to brag or promote yourself and your projects.

Fridays are doubly special, though. We are also celebrating Frozen Pea Friday for Susan Reynolds. I encourage you to join me and donate the cost of a bag of frozen peas (or more) to cancer-fighting research at the Frozen Pea Fund. Then come brag about it!

Regular brags on any topic are still welcome!

Last week, Neenz bragged on a Burt Lum aka @bytemarks for the first UNCONFERENZ in Hawai’i. Colleen was proud to brag on her client, Ames Ingham, for making the cover story of Domino magazine. Neenz and Colleen, thanks for bragging!

You can brag on a friend, your own project, yourself, others, anything! You don’t need special permission or anything. Just leave a comment right here, or DM beckymccray on Twitter.

    Becky,

    I wanted to brag about my friend Ryan Ozawa http://www.hawaiiweblog.com whom has been a supportive and kind friend to me since discovering the geek in me. He’s my OBI WAN KENOBI! He’s also the man behind HawaiiThreads http://www.hawaiithreads.com and has just launched http://twitter.hawaiithreads.com

    Do you see why he’s worth bragging about?

    Aloha,
    NEENZ
