Twitter Doesn’t Do You Justice

October 28, 2011

Are you a people watcher? Not only do I watch people, but I create stories about them. I used to work at a drugstore (back when they were called drugstores) and I sure saw plenty of story-worthy people. I would see the old weathered lady that would come in for the same pack of smokes [...]

Twitter Followers You Love to Hate

February 2, 2011

I like to keep things positive as much as possible. So I hesitated to use the word “hate” in the title of this post. But then I thought, aw, shucks, let’s just have fun with this one. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Twitter. I even gained a little notoriety writing an off [...]

My Top 10 Social Media Celebrity Encounters

December 27, 2010

I’m a celebrity gawker. Actually, I’m a recovering celebrity gawker. I used to subscribe to and/or religiously read Us Weekly, The Star, People, and even The Enquirer. My favorite issues were always the “stars without make-up” stories or the top secret pictures of celebrity cellulite. It’s wrong. I know. I finally realized that celebrities are [...]

Why Twitter Friends Are Better Than Co-Workers

November 4, 2010

If you asked me if I had a job, I would easily tell you no. I would tell you that I was “laid off” back in July 2009 (yes, I am using those quotes appropriately if you read between the lines). But ask me if I work? The answer is yes. And I don’t mean [...]

Tech Tuesday: Paper.li made me famous

October 12, 2010

Nothing excites me more than to see a tweet come through to me like this one: In fact, the first time I had a tweet come through like this, I did a double-take. Was I published? Did I make it into an online newspaper? Was it a good thing? Or a bad thing? I’ve gotten [...]

BlogHer10: The People

August 13, 2010

This is draft #2. Normally, I sit down to write and the words flow from my fingertips. As for this post? Not so much. That should give you some insight as to the complexity that is BlogHer. In my original draft, I stopped at 1100 words realizing I was narrating and not analyzing. Here is [...]

Tech Tuesday: iPad, you pad, we all scream for iPad

July 6, 2010

It doesn’t take much prodding to get me to write a specific post. Sometimes, I think it makes it easier. If you have read any other entries on my blog, you know that my mind tends to jump around a lot. What can I say? A lot of things float through this little brain of [...]

Tech Tuesday: My #Twexperiment for New Followers

June 29, 2010

How do these things start? I guess out of boredom. I guess out of fascination by all of the people twittering all around me. It’s like a massive neural network that I just can’t see. And I like to put it to the test. Here’s how I did it on Sunday. I casually tweeted something [...]

As Seen on TV

June 7, 2010

All it takes is a few quick tweets before my blogging brain goes into overdrive. It started last night as I butted in on a conversation between @RealLifeSarah and @Mktg_Mama. Although not a requirement for butting in on Twitter, I felt a little better because I have met these two lovely ladies in real life. [...]

Why I can’t live without my iPhone

September 18, 2009

Stop. This is not a shameless promotion for the iPhone. I’m not one of those “OMG, I hate PCs and Bill Gates must die” kind of people. In fact, we’re a bit of a house divided. I have a PC and an iPhone. My husband has a Macbook and an iPhone. And we have a [...]
