Connecting...

Fave!

So, I tried twittering a while back and failed (miserably!) to provide more than a beginners tweet.  I could hardly call it a tweet, it was more of a twe...

So here I am 6 months later, giving it another try!  Hey, if anything shouldn't it at least be easier to micro-blog at 140 characters a tweet than these 2-3 paragraph blogs?


Each day, we have more and more options to stay connected.  Some we opt into right away, some we hold off on to see if they achieve some staying power and some, well they just don't catch on at all!

Facebook, myspace, twitter, linked in, flickr (and the list keeps growing day by day!) Who can keep track!  Social media has been blowing up for a while now.  Heard an interesting comment at a roundtable conference the other day.  Something to the effect of media agencies not having any numbers to prove the impact that social media outlets achieve in influencing customer behaviour. Makes you think, once these agencies figure out the business model on these vehicles I'm thinking the numbers will fall out from there!

Finally, a shout out to all you 13-19ers!  Introducing the "facebook of physical activity"... it's been called the sickest way to live healthy.  Sogo Active!  Register by May 31st and you have an amazing opportunity to be selected to become a Torchbearer for the Cancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay! A once in a lifetime opportunity, my friends.  Tell your sisters, brothers, cousins, parents, friends, everybody. Let's inspire the nation.

So? what are you waiting for?  Go!

Ps.  A word of caution to all, use your social media wisely...  If you bail on plans like a debbie downer with a (not so) truth, don't get caught with photos on Facebook!  =)
