This has been a question that has received a lot of conversation in the recent months. The opinions of people in the industry vary. Some feel the Internet is a &ldquo;fad&rdquo; and will come in with fury and fade away quickly, others feel the Internet will revolutionize the funeral industry. I think the latter is more accurate. <nobr><a href="http://www.connectingdirectors.com/members/connectdirectors/blog/VIEW+00000071+00000216#00000216">Read More &raquo;</a></nobr><p>Visit <a href="/">www.connectingdirectors.com</a></p> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:15:19 GMT http://www.connectingdirectors.com/members/connectdirectors/blog/VIEW+00000071+00000202#00000202 This by be one of the simplest features of Connecting Directors, but it can also have the biggest effect on our community. <nobr><a href="http://www.connectingdirectors.com/members/connectdirectors/blog/VIEW+00000071+00000202#00000202">Read More &raquo;</a></nobr><p>Visit <a href="/">www.connectingdirectors.com</a></p> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:14:21 GMT http://www.connectingdirectors.com/members/connectdirectors/blog/VIEW+00000071+00000198#00000198 When you are member of Facebook you can create your own &quot;Profile&quot; page, with a Myspace account you can create your &quot;MySpace&quot; page.
