I haven't used it that much yet as I just downloaded it prior to Christmas. Had family visiting from the UK so this week's been a bit busy to have been able to play with it yet.

I bought the VGA adapter but I haven't really used it yet. I'd also love to hear from folks who have used Keynote successfully. I do use Pages for taking notes in a meeting and that is pretty good. I've realized how much I miss the tab key though as when I take notes I like to indent. Perhaps there is a hidden way to do this. I know I can do it from the tool bar but it is a multi-click process! What other iPad apps do you like? Yes I am intrigued by the idea of using the iPad for presenting. I bought the VGA adapter but I haven’t really used it yet.

One of the things I like about iThoughtsHD is its ability to read my Freemind files (passed to the iPad via Dropbox). It's a very useful combination of products and my mindmaps are always with me.

]]> Comment on Churches and Non-Profits Also Need Marketing by Randy Vaughn http://www.marketaccelerators.com/blog/2010/02/28/churches-and-non-profits-also-need-marketing/comment-page-1/#comment-13912 Randy Vaughn Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:17:20 +0000 http://www.marketaccelerators.com/blog/?p=481#comment-13912 Michael, Of course this caught my attention since we serve this market as well. Appreciate your thoughts - I love Duct Tape Marketing for non-profits and for churches. Just like small business, this sector is often negligent and often wreckless with marketing dollars because they are not basing their decisions on a sound marketing foundation. So "little things" like tracking get overlooked and they have no way of knowing true ROI. So copycat marketing becomes the norm. Down here in Texas, we get postcards every single day from a church in the area. Very little tracking mechanisms built in. Be well brother! -Randy Michael,
