The day my husband joined Twitter.

I don’t know how I feel about this. And in fact, he didn’t even tell me he did; I found out on my own by checking recent followers. Turns out, he saw all the fun I had tweeting away during the Super Bowl, and decided to sign up. Ya know, I’ve convinced a lot of…

Dear Twitter, I foolishly thought our love was eternal

Dear Twitter, Our story began many moons ago. It didn’t take long for you to woo me with your charm and charisma. Our blossoming romance was fast, furious and intense. I fell head over heels in love with you and could not get enough. You brought joy to my life and fulfilled me in ways…

Without

Without Twitter I… …wouldn’t have purchased a Mac …wouldn’t know how to hard refresh my iPhone …wouldn’t know half of the #ALLCAPSAWESOME bacon products on the market …wouldn’t know what “Boom” means Without Facebook I… …wouldn’t be connected to friends from high school and college …wouldn’t keep up with friends and family back home …wouldn’t…

FourSquare Prison Check-ins: The Latest Craze

Mama Kat, in all her infinite wisdom, included the below prompt in this week’s Writer’s Workshop batch. 5.) Draw a picture that best represents one of your most recent tweets and share it with us.

Why I Broke up with Klout & Changed my Twitter Handle

This weekend turned out to be a weekend full of big social media changes. Social media event #1 for the weekend: The first and most fun piece of my weekend was attending BarCampMemphis.

It’s the 2nd Friday of the Month, Yo

Today I plan to hang on Twitter and get to organizing all the entries for #MugSwap2011. If you don’t know what that is or have been lazy about sending in your info, the cutoff is the end of the day TODAY, so HURRY! Anyone else think it’s cool that it’s 11.11.11? Also, I’m thinking that…

Things that Confuse me in Social Media

I consider myself to be relatively well-versed in All Things Social Media. I use many different social media platforms, I read a great deal about social media and I regularly teach others about engagement in and the best practices of social media. There are some aspects of this realm that do nag at me sometimes,…

Let’s Gauge my Level of Dull

The hippest housewife I know posed this question to Twitter the other day. Because I’m very vanilla when it comes to music, I responded. But because the Babe is not only hip, but also truly cool, she was kind. Continuing with my self-deprecation… I may not be cutting edge with my basic, Top 40 style…

It’s a “Different” Kind of Blogoversary

August 2010 was the inaugural #BlogBoycottDay, which means that we’ve been at this Second-Friday-of-the-Month Tweetfest for an entire year! Major hat tip to all my #ALLCAPSAWESOME tweeps! To build on the “social media” aspect of it, I thought that with each #BlogBoycottDay going forward, I’d include a linky to some various type of social media account….

For the Love of the Tweet

It’s the 2nd Friday of the month. And you know what that means… It’s time for another #BlogBoycottDay! Spend the day tweeting instead of blog hopping. And who wouldn’t love to spend their Friday like this. It’s a holiday week AND a blog conference is going on right now in Utah, which means the blogosphere…
