So I have become additcted to this concept of social media… It’s become a little sad!

First I finally broke down and joined Facebook and went through the process of setting up my profile, finding friends, and uploading pictures. At first it was fun to just track down old school mates, and former co-workers and see what they were up to. But then it became a bit of an obsession. I know check multiple times a day (I hate to admit how many times multiple times really is!), and find myself spending way too much time looking at others photos, and playing word games – it also doesn’t help that my blackberry keeps me way to informed on whats going on Facebook.

I thought this was all fun and good, until I found Twitter. If you are not sure what Twitter its kind of like blogging, but on a smaller scale. Some call it micro-blogging. You can create an account, and go to town updating people about what you are doing, and what you think about any number of things. At first it seems a little silly to think that others actually care about what I am doing right now, but once you get past the feeling of self importance, and just start doing it, its actually really fun. Some call it micro-blogging because you have to limit it to 140 charcters or less. But thats kinda cool, because you have to learn to keep it short and sweet. The trick to Twitter is to collect followers, and to follow others. Then every time one of your “friends” sends out a “tweet” you can get a text message updating you to what is going on. And vice versa – when you send outa tweet it gets sent to your followers and they can see what you are up to.

At any rate, part of the point of twitter is to have people follow you, so that when you send out tweets, someone actually gets them and reads them! Its no fun talking to yourself! So, as a result, I would like to offer a Free Session to anyone that signs up to follow me on Twitter. First you will need to create an account (if you don’t already have one) and then go to my page on Twitter and “follow me”. After that I will send you a discount code for a free session! Simple as that!

And finally, after you set this all up, I would strongly suggest you start looking up others (friends, co-workers, celebrities, etc..) and start following them! It is really fun, and can get very addictive!
