Problem
If I were to tell you that I got a call 3 hours before I was to go into a business meeting and it was cancelled, the location is closing at 2:00 p.m. Then hinging on that meeting was another two more meetings at the same location. What does all of this mean, well I quickly found out that Email - Tex-ting and Twitter can become an unorganized mess. Bet your thinking what is the unorganized mess I created?Well I never took note of all of the people that I invited and I also used MeetUp may I add. Therefore I began my search for all of the messages I used to setup these meetings and invitees. So I had to to cancel on Twitter, Email, Text, Meetup and some phone calls.
So I ask my readers, how would you have handled this little issue?

It connects organizations with contacts across Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Google Buzz and many more. Free of charge, TweetDeck allows users to schedule future posts, manage multiple accounts and update several social media sites at once to maintain consistency.
