Put your good news in the Brag Basket

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, Kim bragged on Kellie for helping the Twitter friends headed to SXSW (like me!). KevinKS was proud to brag on a client, Michelle, getting some great publicity. And Neenz bragged on a deserving Dan Mosqueda for helping the family of AshPEAMomma (aka AshPreggo, aka Ashley Spencer), a Twitter friend who was killed in an auto accident. Kim, Kevin, Neenz, thanks for bragging last week!

You can brag on a friend, your own project, yourself, others, anything! Leave a comment or DM beckymccray on Twitter.

    I’d like to toss a whole UNCONFERENZ into the basket if you will! Burt Lum aka @bytemarks organized the first ever, UNCONFERENZ here in Hawai’i. Was it successful? Let’s just say the attendees were asking, when’s UNCONFERENZ II?

    Neenz, you’re straining the basket with all that! I know you’ve been excited about this, and I’m so glad it was a big success. Congrats to Burt and everyone involved!
