SPREE, our trade show for the cart and kiosk industry is less than a week away, and with record high pre-registration (up 60% from last year), I'm confident this will be our best show ever!

One of the things I enjoy most about going to SPREE every year is the discovery process. I love seeing the exciting products on the tradeshow floor, meeting new people and learning what our industry veterans are up to. I also walk away with loads of new ideas from our in-depth seminar program.

This year I will be presenting two seminars: Getting the Most Out of Email Marketing and 2010 Visual Victories Winners, both on April 14th (see our show website for more details).

I look forward to seeing you at SPREE next week!

Having trouble managing all your social media? You're not alone. It's tedious work trying to update your Facebook status every time you tweet, and to tweet every time you update. The good people at Facebook and Twitter feel your pain, so they've created an application to synch the two: update one and the other automatically follows.

Here's how to do it:

1. Log on to your Facebook account and search for "Twitter." Add the first "Twitter" application that shows up in the search results (it was created by Twitter).

2. Allow Twitter to access your profile by clicking the blue "Allow" button.

3. Log into your Twitter account (via the Twitter application inside Facebook that prompts you). At this point, Facebook will update Twitter, but there are a few more steps to send information in the other direction.

4. In the upper right corner, there will be a blue button that says "Allow Twitter to Update your Facebook Status." Click that.

5. Allow status updates from Twitter back to Facebook by clicking on the button that appears.

6. Check to see if it works! Log into Twitter.com from a different browser window and enter a tweet!
