About 2 weeks ago, some Twitter tweeps and I were tweeting about how much fun we have chatting, laughing and trading barbs with one another, and how tweeting can be such a nice break from blogging.
It was then that we decided we needed to institute a #BlogBoycottDay!
Starting today, and continuing with the 2nd Friday of every month, those who take part in #BlogBoycottDay will spend the day in the Twitosphere instead of hopping around in the blogosphere.
Think of it as a day dedicated to social media.
So, if you are looking for me today, log in to Twitter and tweet me (@bellebeandog)!
And if you want to join the fun, add your twitter handle to the linky below, and grab the #BlogBoycottDay badge to add to your post (the badge code is in my sidebar)!
Feel free to grab the linky code, too, if you’d like to add it to your post.
Then come back for #BlogBoycottDay 2 on Friday, September 10th.

I’d LOVE to join, but I’m so behind on blogging and I owe y’all a WOW…So what if instead, I blog and THEN focus my time on Twitter for the rest of the day.
I can update the Twitterverse on my ultrasound (yay!) and date night (don’t worry, I”ll keep it PG). Cute idea Liz!
I would love to have an excuse to hand off Friday FlipOffs one week a month! next month for sure!!!
Can I still tweet it up with y’all tho?
Sure thing, Gigi! We welcome any and all tweeting.
Oh no! I don’t twitter or tweet or whatever the correct verb tense is. It’s my last hold out!
Bummer . . . I’m right there with Kristin above . . . I don’t tweet – twitt – twoot – twhatever!!! (cute, huh?) The whole idea overwhelms me! Maybe I need a shot of petron to get a hang of it, huh? Well . . .have fun! I’ll miss your words of wisdom – when is it, the second Friday? AH, well. I’ll have to rely on Oprah alone!!!
I’m not a tweeter (twitterer?), but have fun and see you back in Bloggy World soon!
Yay! Can’t wait to tweet with ya tomorrow!
What a great idea! I always feel bad when I tweet and run though, which always ends up happening b/c I’ve got 2 munchkins pulling on my legs. But hey, school starts next week…I just may join in for the next one!
Sounds like fun. I’ll catch you on Twitter. I just started spending more time on Twitter so this will be so cool.
you’ll find some good, new twitter folk today!
I only tweet to win contests. I’ll admit it! If I become active in one more social networking venue my family would never eat!
I’ll be at work… but trying to keep up as much as I can! Tweet with me!!
I would love to join, but I have to admit, I hate twitter. I think I am way out of it, but I don’t see the point. I think I need to spend more time exploring it! Happy Friday!
Wait… so no blogs?
That doesn’t sound like something I can handle!
What a cute idea! Is this a weekly thing? If so maybe I can give it a go next week! I am SO behind on blogs this week I cant take the day off!! Oh I work so hard at blogging!!! Poor me!!!! LOL. That sounded funny:)
It’s not really work- but you know what I mean:)
PS. How did the first day of school go?!?
How fun!!
I’m going to have to join in the next one. I’ve been so overloaded with work lately that I’m finally getting a chance to catch up with blogs today!
Sounds like fun! I’m in – but you all have to promise me to come visit our do-good-away post this weekend then!
and because i like this idea SO much, i am going to continue tweeting when i head out for the day via twitter for Android – so i’m signing up with my personal twitter account too!!
ack – that first one was supposed to be this twitter –
@Blogmania2010
good thing we are taking today off from typing a lot!!
okay – it took me a while to figure this out but they keep changing my twitter usernames to match each other… let’s try this one more time…
Such a great idea. I’m gonna try it next month. Hope you’ll send out a reminder.
A whole day without blogs? Sounds intriguing! I know I certainly need to focus more on expanding my twitter network, this seems like as good a reason as any. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great idea!
Let me say it again, A GREAT IDEA.
It’s like school for me. I’ll get on and learn so much that way. You gotta get your feet wet, right?
This is a great idea (sorry, I get repetitive when excited.)
I can’t do it!!! I’m too behind!
Oh no…I don’t Tweet! I’m going to be lost today without y’all!
See ya soon!
Mmmm, no blogging you say. I don’t know if I can do that.
Ok, just so I’m straight with the rules, does it mean we can’t post a blog or we can’t even comment on blogs? Cause if there’s no commenting, I guess I’m a big cheater, oops. Next time though – I’m so in!!
Why did I have to read this post at the END of the day? Why??? This looked like fun. Count me in for the next one.
SOOOO on this for Sept 10th!
