If you can believe this,today I actually took a step I never wanted to take. I looked up the exact definition of Social Media.
I had one of those experiences where I was reading along, nodding in agreement and then suddenly I became glazed over. As if a car mechanic had suddenly lost me somewhere between the carburetor and the fuel pump and I'd never wanted to be shown in the first place.
BlogTalkRadio Evens the Playing Field
I've had the most spectacular few months reconnecting with my sister. Our entire lives our relationship has been strained at best and horrifying at worst.
But for a few reasons I won't disclose on this blog, we rediscovered each other a few months ago and she is now one of my all-time favorite people on the planet. What happened yesterday evolved out of thin air and was a miracle and a joyful surprise. My sister stopped by around 2pm to inform me that she wanted to do stand-up comedy again and would I write all her material for her. I said...uh..yeah...NO! But I reminded her how fun I thought it would be to do a radio show.

In Search of the Elements of A Good Blog
It's like having a TV remote with an infinite number of channels to surf. And the more time I spend online the more I realize I have to learn about blogging, social media etc. I'm a broadcast PR person. I'm used to 210 TV markets with finite number of TV stations in each market a handful of nationals and the cable outlets. This is taking me some time to navigate. I can use the various lists to find out what the "top" blogs are but what I really want to know is what it takes to become a "top" blog.
If Anyone is interested...
To Anyone Who May Still Have Any Interest In Anything I Have to Say:
I recently "lost" my job and have given myself pause to re-evaluate. The problem is that in this rapidly changing world if you re-evaluate too long there is no question that you quickly
become irrelevant and take on the stench of loserdom.

What is wrong with me?
Today my husband and I are going to a party we have been really looking forward to. We are looking forward to the people we will see there, to being outside and having fun. But the party started 15 minutes ago and we're both still on our laptops! Blogging, tweeting, tweaking...at least I think that's what he's doing.
This is my cry for help.

TV Girl Gone Google
I'm a TV girl from way back. Besides being a hairdresser the only thing I ever wanted to do was work in TV. I thought and still do think that it's the coolest field in all of the
world. So I've worked in TV for most of my adult life. But now I'm falling in love with Blogging, Social Media, online marketing. I can't get enough. The idea of creating web
influence is captivating me. Figuring out who has it - how they got it - how they use it and who wants it.
For those who have been at this for a while - you "early adopters" I'm sure it's all very passe and I'm the equivalent of an out-of-towner with my fanny pack looking up at the Empire State Building with my mouth hanging open while my husband in his socks and sandals looks nervously around.
In fact we are both smitten. We don't sleep. We race to figure things out online and we are having a more than slightly friendly rivalry. "How many hits did you get? Well how many of them were yours?"
I'm excited to be here. But don't count out the old TV yet. She still gets the eyeballs you know. They're just a little more glazed over these days.
