Social Media: Who gets the rights to your buzz?

August 13, 2012 by Laing Leave a Comment

I find myself drawn to social media but sometimes there’s just so much going on I feel overwhelmed and just plain tired of them all! But….slightly addicted at the same time. So my majors are (in order of importance):

  • twitter-  my social everything, uncensored & uncut conversation with the world.
  • Facebook- generally friends and family only, my fan page is completely different and I am not as active as I should be on that.
  • Instagram – feeds straight to twitter cuts the middle steps and so much easier to use.
  • Forkly- the ultimate foodie social media application.
  • Foursquare- I do love my social coupons and discounts when I check in!
  • LinkedIn- for businesses only plus they have a blog feed tool which is awesome
  • Getglue- for the TV buff in us all
  • Pinterest- I’m a voyeur on this one I will re-pin anyone but to surf the web for pins is very time consuming
  • Google+ – I have not mastered this one yet, nor do I try  so as far as Google saying they have 170m users. That’s kind of suspect…
You decide: Socially What’s your preference?

Almost Wordless Wednesday: Liquid Plumber Soft Porn

July 25, 2012 by Laing Leave a Comment

I almost died when I saw this commercial! I imagined female introverts everywhere clutching their pearls and dashing out to the store in an effort to gain all the Liquid Plumber Double Impact as possible. Out of all the sexually suggestive commercials I have ever seen I don’t think any had so many graphic undertones as this…I mean this is in the soft porn category of advertising. I don’t know what to say about the ad agency DDB San Francisco, its either a great ad because sex does sell or just raunchy. I am leaning towards raunchy. Nothing in this commercial says Liquid Plumber is going to clear the clog in the bathroom but it does say that in the event of a sexual dry season emergency thumb the yellow pages for a sexy plumber who can “snake my drain“(make that two sexy plumbers) . Judge for yourself . Liquid Plumber Double Impact.

Almost Wordless Wednesday: McDonald’s & Bloggers Have Something To Say!

June 20, 2012 by Laing Leave a Comment

So this Almost Wordless Wednesday is going to be a little more wordy than others. I began this post to pay homage to K. Jackson (60), who stated that she wants to start a blog because in her words “I have something to say!” In watching the TV I saw this McDonald’s commercial for the Blue Berry Banana Nut Oatmeal and it reminded me of K. Jackson. Knowing her spirit K. would strike  up conversation with a stranger, blog about the experience, and have the post go viral!  It was supposed to be an uplifting experience that I could show her the commercial for encouragement and we could sign her up to start blogging! However… when I found the original McDonald’s commercial on YouTube and read the comments posted to the video my heart sank. I didn’t want her to see these nasty comments, some racial and ageist idiotic comments from people who obviously have no better outlet nor tact than to spew venom in a public forum.

I applaud McDonald’s on the efforts to embrace social media and work with bloggers. So in an effort to NOT let the ignorance of others dictate my footsteps, I am posting this video and we are going to launch K. Jackson’s blog because as I told you , she has something to say!

Almost Wordless Wednesday: Gigi’s Cupcakes Has An App For That!

June 13, 2012 by Laing Leave a Comment

I just get tickled pink when I see that my favorite stores have apps! Today is Wednesday affectionately called (Wed-Nes-Day) and I am determined to find myself in Raleigh, NC at Gigi’s Cupcakes.  So I went online to look at the flavors of the day when *angels singing* they have developed an app that allows me to locate my nearest Gigi’s Cupcakes, see the menu of the day:

CHAMPAGNE
HOT FUDGE SUNDAE
HUMMINGBIRD
LEMON POPPY SEED
MERRY MARGARITA
MIDNIGHT MAGIC
SOUTHERN COMFORT
WEDDING CAKE
WHITE CHOCOLATE
RASPBERRY FRAPPE
WHITE MIDNIGHT MAGIC

and place my order in advance. BONUS: Gigi’s Cupcakes is on Pinterest! I also love when a business sees the value of participating in social media. I mean come on…the consumer is your best advocate, why not take advantage of engaging with clients and spreading the word about your product in the most cost effective way possible! FREE (assuming you handle the account personally and don’t pay anyone to do it for you) but you get my drift. So a BIG CONGRADULATIONS to Gigi’s Cupcakes for rocking social media and having “an app for that”!!!!

Almost Wordless Wednesday: Poke….

June 6, 2012 by Laing Leave a Comment

This Almost Wordless Wednesday is dedicated to my X who I have an ongoing POKE WAR with on Facebook. I am thankful that after many years of real court room battles we can have a playful yet dysfunctional relationship that our children can feel good about…if that makes sense to you…it just works. So here’s to you!

 

 

POKE!!!


 
Should we ever get into a situation where the POKE is no longer in effect this PNG file easily transforms into the finger…LOL. BVS!
