Veterans Day Events !

Posted on by

Spencer Technology Solutions is proud to tell you about the second annual Veterans Day parade this Saturday, November 5th at 11:00 AM in downtown Roanoke VA. This year it will feature military units from across Virginia, military marching units and individual veterans accompanied by military, college and high school bands. This year’s parade is expected to kick-off with a breath-taking flyover by Air Force C-130 Hercules Aircraft.

Also to celebrate Veteran’s Day and honor all of those who served, The Roanoke Valley Veterans Council will hold a Veterans Day Ceremony at the Vinton War Memorial on November 11th, 2011 at 11:00 AM.  The ceremony will feature an address by Major General James Archer, Judith Cline singing the “National Anthem,” a presentation of colors by the William Byrd High School Junior ROTC Honor Guard, and patriotic music by the William Byrd Brass Quartet.   

Spencer Technology Solutions extends our thanks to all of our veterans for their service, and hopes that many from our community will be able to attend these events in their honor.

Twitter me this …

Twitter me this …  What is a tweet anyway?   A Tweet is a form of Social Media that basically sends a text message ( a short message called a tweet) to all of your friends (followers) at one time.  It is called a Tweet for several reasons one of which being that the Twitter logo is the cute little blue bird you see to your left.  Tweeting is new lingo that means posting something to your Twitter account so all of your followers can read it.  For a business this means another form of Social Media to help you get your business’ information out to the public. 

As a business you may ask what are the advantages of having a Twitter account?  Do I need that in addition to a Facebook account ? If Blogs are my billboards  then what are my Tweets ?  It may sound complex, but in reality it is a simple concept.  The more outlets you use to promote your business, the more exposure you get, the more chances for someone who needs your services to hear about your business.  There are people who use Twitter who don’t necessarily use Facebook. It is like having a TV commercial and a Radio Ad in virtual terms.  Everytime your business publishes a blog, it can be automatically posted to your facebook account and twitter feed, so all of your followers on both sites know you published something new, and have the opportunity to read it. Helping you understand Social Media, and being your consultants and Social Media Administrators is just another one of the many IT Services that Spencer Technology Solutions offers to their customers.
