Fresh from the DSA’s (Direct Selling Association) Social Media Seminar, my mind is a little overwhelmed with all the options and technology. Especially blogging. Why does anyone care about what I have to say? We’ll see. So consider this my “toe in the water” of the blogosphere.
It’s funny. I think my mom has been practicing social networking her whole life—just without the technology. She can go to the freezer section of the grocery store or a cruise in Alaska and meet someone who went to her high school. The first time I went to her favorite used bookstore, I introduced myself as her daughter. The owner asked if I was the one who worked on a cruise ship or the one with three kids. Classic Coco! (cruise ship)
But isn’t that what it’s all about? Connecting with people, finding common interests, sharing our stories with the help from technology? Like Funfetti cake or the cheesy biscuits at Red Lobster. I’m fans of both on Face Book! I follow Suze Orman on Twitter. Did you know she loves Taco Bell? Funny, surprising and kinda cool! Have you seen that skateboarding dog on You Tube? He is awesome! You can tell how happy he is on his skateboard and how much he loves it. We love it too! Over 9.7 million views! He’s been on Oprah and now he’s in a commercial, but I can’t remember who the ad is for. Bummer for that ad agency and client!
So I love food, pop culture, animals and marketing. This blog will be a little mix of all of that.

I'm you're first follower. Hee hee! Great post. I love the random musings, and how it all (somehow) ties together. Didn't know you worked on a cruise ship -- when and what did you do? Were you "Julie"?
ReplyDeleteI was Julie's indentured servant! Served the meals, cleaned the rooms, did the laundry and worked in the galley. Hard labor in exchange for seeing the world!
