Social Media, Jobs, Spam, Sex and Dating – Maybe not in that order

Kernut — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 02:03:53 +0000

This is me. What, you thought I was human?

When I’m not here, you probably think I’m out having an awesome social life, on a date, or having sex.

Sadly, no. It’s been about a year since I had a boyfriend – and he was really lousy in bed. Come to think of it, so was the one before him.

But I have been discovered – by spammers.

When I’m not here blogging (and deleting spam), I’m over here writing about Social Media (and deleting spam), or here writing about sexy stuff.

That is, when I’m not at my new job!

Yes, it’s true folks – I am no longer a government-subsidized cube dweller. I have escaped the padded cell, a.k.a. the cubicle from hell.

(Believe it or not, I didn’t get fired for asking Guy Kawasaki if he had a single brother for me. Truth be told, by then I had already given notice so there would have been no point in firing me in my last week. Heh heh.)

So far the new job is good. I’m doing the marketing tasks I love (Facebook, Twitter, blogging, creating and implementing marketing strategy), and learning more as I go. (much rejoicing all around)

Other than that, there’s not much going on in my social life. Tonight for instance, I’m home watching the first season of HBO’s Hung on DVD and living vicariously. OMG! That’s good stuff and Thomas Jane has a lovely naked body.*fans face*

Emails With Guy Kawasaki and The Bloggess

It was awesome! He's very funny, smart, self-deprecating, and very approachable. Apparently, the latter is against the opinion of his detractors. . . . → Read More: Emails With Guy Kawasaki and The Bloggess

Today is Social Media Day!

Happy Social Media Day!

According to Mashable June 30th is Social Media Day.

What, you didn’t know?!

Ok, me either. I mean, really when did this start? Yesterday?

So, I got this from The Bloggess. She thinks Mashable might have made it up. I’m thinking she’s right. But really, do we need a holiday to post and tweet?

I think not.

So… Happy Social Media Day! I think you should take the day off and celebrate properly.

How Not To MySpace (or Facebook)

Ok, but only if the hookup is in your pickup, Baby.

Dating Advice for Social Media from my MySpace blog in 2007 (a time when I was much more jaded than now – if that’s possible). While originally about MySpace, much of this also applies to Facebook.

MySpace made me über jaded about dating. It’s all MySpace’s fault for letting those horny 20-somethings send me the most ludicrous requests for a date (read: hookup). It’s really hard to take men seriously after receiving requests like those below.

But I’m all better now. heh. *twitch*

How Not To MySpace, Part 2

Acknowledgment: “Part 1” was written by my friend Steve. His gave me the idea for the following article. His article, How Not To MySpace should be read. And followed. Verbatim.

Making Friends – and keeping them:

Friend Requests

Strangers often wonder why, or even become offended, when I won’t add them as a friend on MySpace or Facebook. With the abundance of spam on these services, I can’t understand why they aren’t as cautious. I could be a spamming psycho! Ok, well, I might be a spammer, too!

I’ve had plenty of issues on these sites, and don’t want to subject my friends to the same. There are the spammers, the stalkers, and then there’s the issue of bulletins.

(Update: I almost never log in to MySpace anymore. No, I probably still won’t add you. But you can follow me on Twitter @Kernut. I need followers. But not stalkers.)
