Do You Twitter?

August 20, 2008 in Tailgating Ideas

So I have been hearing all about this new way to stay in touch called Twitter. Chalk it up to another one of those Web 2.0 things where users can create a free account and write small updates on anything going on in their lives. They call it micro-blogging because you are only allowed up to a maximum of 140 characters per message. They make it easy because you can even update Twitter via text message on your mobile phone. Since it is free and I have heard a lot of people rave about it, I decided to give it a shot.

For tailgaters it might be a great way to stay in touch with your other tailgating friends. Once you park and start to set up, update your twitter profile with your exact location so they can find you. Update your Twitter with what you are grilling that day. Micro-blog that the opposing fans parked next to you are acting like a bunch of idiots. On second thought, this may be a lot of fun.

If you are already a user go ahead and follow me on Twitter.

writer.gifYou may recall back in June I did a guest article for Garry Conn that appeared on his blog aimed at bloggers who want to make money online. Either Garry is a glutton for punishment or he actually liked the first one I wrote because he offered me a standing invitation to write other guest posts as the mood strikes. Well, one of those moods struck and this time I guest penned a tutorial on how to drive more traffic to your blog by leaving a single comment on other blogs. Sounds too easy, right? Well, it is but you need to comment on the right blogs and specifically the right posts within those blogs. I won’t bore you with the inane details here but if you are interested, head over to Garry Conn’s website and read my guest article. Who knows, you may be a blogger yourself looking for that little extra to get you over the hump.
