Losing a Friend on Twitter
I’m in a little bit of shock right now. I just found out that one of my favorite Twitter friends, Vickie (aka @Gammasworld and @Data_Diva) passed away. Six months ago. How did I miss this? We didn’t swap tweets every day but pretty frequently – especially when one of our favorite shows was on. We would tweet-ument our opinions on the show as it was happening. It was fun. She was great and we enjoyed each other. I realized a few days ago that I hadn’t seen her pop up in my stream, so I tweeted: I miss @gammasworld.. where has she been? And then I went to look at her profile and twitter stream. Her stream is still active but it’s all push tweets of her daily gazette (which is an automated compilation of tweets).. I kept scrolling down and down. It went on and on. My heart started … read more
A Note to My Kids on Social Media: I Was Here First
A post entitled, “A Note to Parents: How to be a “cool” parent on Facebook (as written by a kid on Facebook),” was brought to my attention last week and I loved it! Go ahead and read it… I’ll wait here for you… Oh good! You’re back. I loved this article because she hits the nail on the head. There are SO many parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles on Facebook today that actually joined AFTER their kids did (there are also plenty who still haven’t joined but that’s another post), and have really lost their cotton picking minds on what should be common sense. In a word — STOP STALKING YOUR KIDS. That’s not cool. But… being who I am, I have to offer up the OTHER side of this story which is how kids act on social media sites and what the rules of engagement should be from my perspective. I … read more

Things I Love – Day 4: Twitter
In honor of Valentine’s Day being this week, I thought I’d spend some time talking about things I love. It might be a person one day, a thing the next, a place another day. I hope you spend some time this week thinking about the ones that mean the most to you. It doesn’t have to be your partner – it can be the BFFs you’ve had forever. If you know me, you know I’m an avid, voracious and passionate Twitter user. After a pretty funny exchange with one of my new-found blogger friends Suzanne (aka @tangledlou) over at Periphery where she and others expressed some “uncertainty” about Twitter, I promised to do a 101 on it. So, gather up your notebooks, kids.. here we go. I’m going to give you the basic info you need to make Twitter your friend. I’ll agree that Twitter can be a little daunting, so I’ll … read more

Why I Love Twitter and Some of the Great Tweeps I’ve Met
People are often amazed at how much I love Twitter. Maybe it's my ADD, maybe it's our society, but I love the quick bursts of information. Yes, I often miss some things because of the rapid fire atmosphere, but once you get in a groove (and create lists and use a 3rd party app like Hootsuite) it is the greatest thing..Ever. I have met so many people thru Twitter that have enhanced and enriched my life that I would never have been able to meet before. For instance.. A complete genius, adjunct professor and my "sage" @MarkWSchaefer – met on Twitter Someone who I consider a bit of a mentor ( I don't want him to feel pressure) and a funny guy (not to mention his wife is amazing) – @WilliamsKim – met on Twitter One of the coolest chicks I know and an amazing social media user @heatherdedona – … read more
