Faster Than a Speedy Bullet….

Sunday, September 11, 2011

Isn’t that a funny video?! It took FOREVER to load, though. Thank God people don’t send earthquake news via YouTube, or we’d be still waiting for the buffering…. Twitter IS pretty speedy. Quite a number of times, I’ve gotten up-to-date news that was not available anywhere. When we had the bad flooding last week and [...]

Twitter Asp-irations

If you’ve been following the news (of which I haven’t much), apparently a 20-inch long deadly venomous cobra escaped the Bronx Zoo last Friday, and has not been found yet. The Bronx Zoo dudes think that the deadly venomous cobra is lurking somewhere within the zoo, but can’t be SURE. Once the snake gets hungry [...]

Give Your Region a Little Boost

I am tinkering more with Twitter these days. I recently discovered that, with Tweetdeck, I can follow people who tweet a certain word or phrase. This is totally cool! So I monitor people who tweet about my local area. It’s been quite an eye-opener- I’ve widened my Twitter friends to include a whole bunch of [...]

When Ya Need Help, There’s Billy…

He’s a little nerdy. He wears thick black glasses. He wears suspenders WITH a bow tie. And his pants are too short. But by golly, Billy’s a helpful lad when you need to save some money. I’m talking about Billy.com. It’s a really nice site– the owner has a touch of humor, I think. Billy [...]

Beware the Twitter Phishing Scam

Monday, February 22, 2010

GRRRRREATTTTT. I’ve managed to keep my eyes peeled for scammers pretty well up to this point, but I was really busy and tired yesterday, and wasn’t paying much attention to what I was doing. Yesterday, I received an email from Twitter (sheesh, I get about 20 a DAY) from a follower. The message was this: [...]

I Need More Twitter Followers

Wanna “follow” me on Twitter? I do try to make things fun there. I personally don’t see anything particularly wrong with including mentions about contests or good deals or what-have-you, but I do tire of them ALL the time. Some folks have nothing to say on Twitter except the latest paid advertisement. I like to [...]

A Lovely Make-a-Wish Cause

I love Make-a-Wish. My little niece, suffering from leukemia, benefited from this incredibly generous foundation many years ago. I always encourage people to give to some charity at this time of the year, like the Salvation Army or Voice of the Martyrs or the Make-a-Wish Foundation. What’s really cool is that a search engine company [...]
