Another great article about how helpful Google can be!

What can Google do for you? posted by Alex.Kaylan

How Google Became My Butler
"So Google isn’t going to hide out in my secret lair and tune up my batmobile…but it sure can do a heck of a lot more than most of us are probably aware. Check out some of the awesome things Google is capable of that you most likely didn’t know about."

Everything from Calculations to Flight Tracking to Itineraries and more!

What do you make Google do for you?

We like the calendar, email, groups, analytics, chat and link reporting.
And of course their SEARCH :)

Five things Spongebob Squarepants can teach you about business.

As you may (or may not) know, we are HUGE Spongebob fans here at Your Plan B Company! We quote the show daily, celebrate Spongebob related holidays and watch the show at lunchtime. One of us even remodeled a bathroom into a Spongebob theme!

So when we came across this article "Five things Spongebob Squarepants can teach you about business." from AOL Small Business we couldn't resist sharing it with you!

But if you take a slightly closer look at SpongeBob's madcap energy and Mr. Krabs' relentless pursuit to sell Krabby Patties, you'll notice some familiar workplace scenarios -- and some surprisingly important lessons..."
