Sat, 21 Mar 2009 09:48:29 -0500

I’ve been doing some research on what the biggest concern is when moving. Twitter has allowed me to simply search for “movers”. The search returns results of every tweet where movers were mentioned. I see some patterns to the posts, but nothing crazy, yet. I’ve posted some of the more interesting tweets below. What are your biggest concerns when moving?

The days of spring are approaching. I don’t have time to go into detail - but we’re making huge progress at CMM. We are getting much closer to finding our business model - and getting busier as it gets warmer out. Look for regular posts about moving, College Muscle Moves and interesting business information. Enjoy the weekend!
