But we have been finally unpacking boxes and finding things that we thought were lost. One of those things was this picture of Lady Margaret Thatcher and myself from the late 1990’s.

Lady Thatcher is an icon of the conservative movement and was Reagan’s partner during much of the cold war. It was a huge honor to meet her and I remember it like it was yesterday.

But most of all I remember two things: 1) that she was diminutive in size and 2) that she had a larger-than-life presence.

Even late in life, long after she had retired, Margaret Thatcher had a presence about her that affected everyone in her vicinity.

I noticed the same thing when I met Sarah Palin at the 2010 Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

They’re obviously different people with different backgrounds - yet they also have a great deal in common. Both attract strong opponents and even stronger supporters. Both fought for and won significant reforms during their respective administrations.

And both had their every move dissected in the media.

I wonder what the Iron Lady would have thought about Facebook and Twitter. I’d be willing to bet that that she would have used social media to speak directly to her constituents if she’d had the chance.

Making it one more thing they’d have in common…

In fact, they were number 6 spot on the list of TOP 100 companies!

Congratulations to Brian Rodriguez and all his staff.

As the President/CEO I couldn’t be prouder of our staff nor more appreciative of our speakers and sponsors.

Late in 2009, when we the Southern RNC members picked New Orleans, the Republican Party was still reeling from our loss to Barack Obama. We worked hard to ensure that SRLC 2010 would be an energizing experience for our base and help to build momentum for victories in 2010.

But we never imagined that over 3000 delegates and 100 members of the media would come to New Orleans to hear from the leading Republican’s in the country.

We’ll soon have an automated “Reservation System” for purchasing and uploading your ads. But in the near term, you can purchase ads via the following price list. We accept pay pal and wire transfers.

To kick off our launch, we’re offering an incredible 75% discount. These prices are only available for June and July and are first-come first-serve.

Contact us to get started: 225-753-3548 or newstwit (at) liquidventures.com.

We’re building hundreds of content channels to help users manage the overwhelming power of real-time information.

Sort, sift and filter real time information across hundreds of topics. Each of our channels is custom built and managed by an expert. Information overload meet information sanity.

It’s also a great marketing opportunity for companies who want to target a niche audience. Each channel can be sponsored by one company/product at a time. Instead of competing with multiple banner ads you can “take over” the entire channel via a background image and header graphic. Sponsorships are available by the day, week and month. You can also buy out the entire network for a large product launch or important event.

Visit newstwit.com and test it out.

The URLs will be Facebook.com/username instead of the gobbledygook that you are used to.

More details are on the Facebook Developer’s Blog, but the basic rules are:

You can sign up for a username starting at 12:01 a.m. EDT on Saturday, June 13, 2009, by visiting www.facebook.com/username. After selecting one for your application or company name, you will see a green check mark indicating that the name is available before you actually claim it. In some cases, your desired username may not be available because someone has already selected it or because we’ve reserved certain names that have been brought to our attention in an effort to help third parties protect their intellectual property and other rights.
