Make your Pet a Star?

So today I was cruising through looking at some internet advertising information and found one of the most interesting things I have seen yet.


I found a website that is dedicated to pet webpages. You can Join YouPet.com FREE - Make Friends, Watch Videos and more! I thought I had seen all the internet had to offer. But, A Social Network for Your Pet?

They are even using the YouTube surfing and skateboarding dog.


Have you ever seen this before? There is apparently big business in MySpace for Dogs and Facebook for Cats. I wonder if they are going to have LinkedIn for Snakes?

What do you think?

I’m Voting Republican

Every now and again there is a video that describes me.

I found this video at I’m Voting Republican.
From their website

MORE ABOUT THE MOVIE
The movie was written and directed by Charlie Steak and produced by SyntheticHuman Pictures. Everyone worked on the film for free. Contributions from individuals paid for most of the expenses.

You can learn more about SyntheticHuman Pictures by clicking on their logo in the top navigation. You can send SyntheticHuman Pictures a gift of one dollar (we’d love to pay the actors and crew) here

Your gift is not tax-deductible; we’re not a charity. The money will go towards promoting this movie, paying for bandwidth, and getting this message out to as many people as possible.

As the political season heats up expect more politics from me. Though I will probably be biased towards making a better America I will post some humor from all angles. If you notice the title of post as “I’m Voting Republican” that is part of the joke. I have not yet made my decision who I am going to vote for. The media and the parties haven’t figured out who is going to be running for president! I have and still don’t know who to vote for. As the political campaigns ramp-up and more campaign jobs open up and me looking for jobs I might be on the campaign trail myself.

Campaign Organizers and Job Recruiters

So for all the campaign job recruiters out there looking for talent. Check out my interactive portfolio. As an expert in social media and web technologies I can really help your candidate online. Remember in 2004 the lines used by the broadcast media networks after political debates, “Broadcasting Live from the Blog Cafe”? How about really leveraging that coverage for gain everyday? Social Media has grown exponentially since 2004 and reaches more and more everyday.

Friendships or Contacts? - Social Media

Blogging and social media sites are at the center of most topics in the internet marketing world. Not a day goes by that a hot new article at Sphinn (Internet Marketing News & Forums Discussion) doesn’t relate to social media. With an unlimited amount of social media options, inevitably you will make friends. The question that perplexes me most about these social media friends are they just contacts? or are they really friends?

Over the past few months of being an active contributing blogger I have made hundreds of contacts. Are any of them really my friends? A definition of a friend can loosely be defined by anyone. In my opinion a friends is someone you can count on in a bind? Trusting people is one of the hardest things for anyone to do and especially for me.

I have thought about the psychology and risk of it all… People hiding behind an avatar. People covering up their personality flaws. Someone being out right dishonest. People lying and being malicious.

Being new to the contributing blog world I have yet to be mislead. But a part of me wants to fall back on what my momma always said: “Don’t Talk to Strangers”. When people “friend me” I am always hesitant. If I don’t add you don’t be alarmed, I am just doing what my momma told me.

I am perplexed by my new found “friends” and if they are really more than just contacts or avatars on the internet.
