TFS Is Getting All Social And Crap

If you haven't noticed my shameless (ok, there's a little shame, but whatever) caving to the interwebz, TFS has been exploring different types of social media.  Results have varied.

I'm An Official Twit
 
I'm not a particularly avid fan of Twitter, but I do have an account, primarily because I was reading tweets from The Shatner for a while (don't judge, he is hilarious!), so it is linked to my Google account & primarily operates in an automated fashion.  I suck at thinking of short, pithy comments & kind of still don't understand the point....  But it WILL tell you when something really important happens, like new posts!

Ummm, yeah, this  may have been me...
Pinterest:  Internet Heroin

I feel significantly less shame about my recent peek into Pinterest.  I honestly did not understand what or why or how the heck it even worked.  Or why anyone with any semblance of organizational desire & limited time would even try to mire through the seemingly infinite scrolls of image tiles.  But it found one of my critical weaknesses:  visual addiction. 

Why do you prey on my soft spots, interwebz?  But I will step up & own it & you can find buttons to all of our ridiculous self-marketing of dorkiness and equine obsession accounts right up top.  Our Facebook and Youtube links are still there, as well as G+ since apparently Google adds that by default in some delusion that more than 12 people use it.  Plus you can now subscribe to our feed by email & shun the weird world of RSS!

What, did you not want my random blog to be part of every aspect of your life?  Travesty!

    Kudos on being so social media-inclined! I am still working on figuring all this social media stuff out.

    Facebook is about as far as I go. I feel like it sucks enough time out of me as it is!

    My thoughts exactly... Even on google1... Although, I like twitter during events... Like Rolex, Olympics, national news events... I just don't have time to check it regularly.

    LOL, I probably wouldn't go so far as being "inclined." But I was just curious and decided to see if there were new ways to connect with people out there that were, you know, not too crazy.

    I definitely don't have extra time! But our FB and YouTube stuff was already there, the G+ and Twitter things added themselves and are pretty much automated. Pinterest is mildly amusing from time to time, I like the purdy pictures, must...go...to...bed, hahahaha!

    So it seems like a lot but wasn't a huge leap. But I know different folks like to use different media and the new template and FeedBurner gave me some extra options, woot!
