Pinterest revolutionizes social media

There’s more?

My Twitter feed exceeds 100 new tweets before an hour is up. I log onto Facebook and I have a new notification practically every time. And now there’s another social media starlight out there – Pinterest.

For weeks now, Pinterest has been popping up in my Twitter and Facebook feeds, but I never explored it. I thought, “Eh, I’ll get to it eventually.” Well, times up! Gotta learn and gotta learn fast. Why? Because Pinterest isn’t like its social media siblings. It’s the supposed “adopted one” that people don’t quite understand right away, and that’s because Pinterest is a social site that’s made for the individual’s benefit more than any of the others.

Politicians on Twitter


I’m being shown up

When I first got Twitter, I had no idea how to use it. I went on it for a few days, got frustrated and ran away from it like a little girl does when she sees a spider. I. Was. Scared.

However, then came along a class where using Twitter was mandatory. So, forced by syllabus, I had to figure it out. And now that I kind of know what I’m doing, I’m seeing 50-plus-year-old politicians showing me up. When did they learn how to use it before me?

Who knew the Super Bowl had so much power? How the Super Bowl is changing advertising

When I Pee

Perhaps, everyone isn’t like me. To most, the Super Bowl usually means beer, greasy food, competition, football (obviously) and lots of screaming. I guess I’m the same in some respects. But, to me, the only thing the Super Bowl is good for is the commercials.

I pee during the game and come back screaming if I’ve missed a commercial or two.

However, those who live in the advertising/marketing world pray for fans like me. And, they’re hoping for more of them.
