Social media! There are many more platforms than those three in my title but all I can say is oh my! My latest catch is odd hashtags – odd as in innuendo-based – for corporate accounts. I opened Twitter this morning to see the hashtag #itsOKtoswallow on a company’s tweet. While I understand the use… Continue reading Twitter & Facebook & Pinterest…Oh my!
Friday morning, eleven women and myself will start the journey from Saratoga Springs to Lake Placid. We are running the Ragnar Adirondack Relay. I cannot wait. I am anticipating this relay so much I started packing over the weekend. Big mistake! I need that running gear prior to leaving. Oops! I am runner six. I… Continue reading Ragnar Alert
I love a challenge. I am all about setting goals and overcoming obstacles in my fitness life. When I went to California last fall for my mother’s 70th birthday, I looked for a race to run. I could have run a fairly flat 5K in Palm Springs but I chose, instead, to run the Palm… Continue reading My Love of Challenges and a Giveaway
In keeping with Twitter and its 140 character limit, this post will be short on words. Suffice it to say, I went to my initial Binghamton Tweet Up last night. I got to meet people who live here locally and that utilize Twitter. There will be a second post coming on our hosting facility, Roberson… Continue reading Southern Tier Tweet Up
I have to admit this was not a new thought. Yesterday, I was reading Tim Nekritz’s blog, Inside Tim’s Head. Tim was discussing the social media inventory of his employer, a state university in NY, and the uses of having said inventory written down. I so wanted to put the phrase “down on paper” there… Continue reading Social Media Inventory
Do you utilize Twitter? I have several different reasons for following people on Twitter. Some people are blogging friends of mine that I have, or possibly have not, met. I like to know when they have new blog entries up and most do tweet about the new blogs. I follow certain people because of where… Continue reading Twitter Lists
You would think I know a lot about social media. I use Facebook, Delicious, Twitter, LinkedIn and a few other web sites on a regular basis. My children think that I should probably use these less. I don’t really worry about it as I am as likely to not use these as I am to… Continue reading Social Media
For once it was someone else who made up the word but the word is perfect. Last evening I attended a TweetUp that had been dubbed Twithaca – with a hashtag in front of it if you are on Twitter. This gathering was of local to the Ithaca area Twitter enthusiasts. It involved food and… Continue reading Twithaca
I have used Twitter during minor breaking news stories and major one previously but today, the ease of use and how much information is available hit home again. I was on Twitter as breaking news was happening 250 miles away at the University at Buffalo. I follow several people from the Buffalo area on Twitter… Continue reading Twitter and Breaking News
I have to admit that I quickly became a big Twitter fan once I started using it and leaving it open in my browser. I can let friends, both distant and close, know brief synapsis of what is going on in my life or with whatever event I am attending. Case in point, I tweeted… Continue reading Twitter and Local Media
