My favourite form of media is the social kind.

GetGlue.com

Fringe is having a giveaway. They are giving away props from the set, but to enter you have to be a part of GetGlue and check in with a secret word. The secret word can be found before the show on Friday so you will be able to enter while watching. 

I didn’t want to join another social media site, but GetGlue was interesting. It allows you to check-in to entertainment. For example, I can check in about the artist I’m listening to, the book I’m reading, the move or show that I’m watching and so on. As rewards you get stickets.

When you reach 20 stickers you can request them and GetGlue will mail the stickers to you. I’ve also noticed that a few movies and TV shows have partnered with GetGlue to provide stickers and in some cases, giveaways – as the case with Fringe.  I think I’m looking forward to this sticker the most. Hanna was amazing.

It’s an interesting idea, but, if I was honest, it was the stickers that appealed to me more than anything else. I’m curious to see where it goes and how it will evolve. You can check it out if you want to see what’s going on, just be warned, it can get addicting.

Julian Smith – YouTube Genius

When I heard Julian Smith‘s song, “I’m Reading A Book”, I knew that I had to subscribe to his channel. I mean, hello! this song is practically my anthem. That, and it’s hilarious.

I suggest checking him out, especially if you want a good laugh.

Personal cards

Posted in Media, Social Media by

I’m not a fan of business cards. I always forget that I have them so I don’t give them to any one. Then there is also the fact that I don’t use other people’s cards when I get them. I mean, the idea is a good one, here is my contact information on a tiny piece of paper, use it. However, I always forget that I have them, then I never use it.

Yet, I recently created my own cards. They aren’t business cards but personal cards. It has my name on the front and on the back it has a QR code.

[this one]

You scan it and it takes you a website with my social sites. I’m not sure I’ll ever use them, but I suppose it’s good to have. The funny thing is, I really only created them so that I could use the QR code. What’s that? I’m a nerd? Yeah, I know.

 

LIKE!

Posted in Media, Social Media by

A couple of months ago, Haley G. Hoover made a YouTube video on Facebook liking. I thought it was amusing and so I made  a lists of “likes” that I’ve seen on my newsfeed that made me laugh:

  • I bought a bag of chips. Not half a bag of air
    (this is a first world problem, I’m sure)
  • I Knew That Song Before It Was Popular
    (hipster alert!)
  • don’t sleep enough because I stay up late for no reason
    (well … at least you know the reason)
  • I dont care about your farm, or your fish, or your park, or your mafia!!
    (I sense a lot of hate here)
  • “Go away and leave me alone!” means “Dont go, i need you.. give me a hug
    (seems as though someone needs to express themselves better)
  • After an arguement I think about clever things I should have said
    (nod nod)
  • Realizing how much your life has changed in a short amount of time
    (hmmm ….)
  • Yes We Understand Your Life Sucks, You Dont Have To Post It All The Time
    (this wasn’t pointed to anyone in particular, right?)
  • WE CAN GET 1,000,000 PEOPLE THAT ARE BORED OUT OF THEIR MINDS TO JOIN!!!!!
    (only 108 people found this likeable)
  • Seriously? You joined this fan page? Wow, nothing better to do huh?
    (my thoughts exactly)

what odd things do you like?
