What’ with the blue bird at the top of the page you ask? If you had to ask then you’ve been unplugged from the WWW for awhile. Most of the times it seems I’m slightly ahead of whatever the trend is. For example I had a “blog” style site going right after Z Man was born (almost 7 years ago for those of you who are counting). I still have those files archived on a cd somewhere. About a year or so ago I stumbled onto twitter. Think of it as a text message style type of communication, 140 characters and a large network of folks out there. I’ve made both personal and business contacts using twitter and know I could probably drive both interest and business by utilizing it. I however prefer to keep on a somewhat just for fun basis. I tweet out helpful information when I have it or just silly things that happen or something the boys have said. Take a look at Twitter, you might find yourself addicted.
When I first started finding sites that allowed you to upload a picture of yourself I didn’t really like any I had of myself so I started using an icon of Calvin. The reason behind that had to do with a nickname of mine and I liked it at the time. Now while I have a few more pictures of myself I still don’t like any of them but I wanted something that resembled me a little bit more. So I set out to find something I liked and I did. Well that’s a quick lesson is social bloging for you. Stay tuned for the next installment with photos of our spring break trip this week….
