I have been involved in an interesting discussion on Ryze - actually reading more than posting - about the definition of 'Virtual Assistance.'

This was a very intense discussion and lead to some not-so-nice words from VA to VA. I was a little disturbed that the discussion degraded, especially when most communities strive to achieve just that - a community or family. Well, even families argue.

My opinion is that if you are providing niched services such as bookkeeping, web design, graphic arts - you should be defining yourself as such and not as a VA. In my mind, a VA is administrative support.

Below is a press release regarding the definition of Virtual Assistance - go forth and define!
