Great Words of Wisdom

Every week I get a great idea.  A few weeks ago I thought it would be a good idea to sign up for "The Twitter" (yes I realize it is just twitter, but I think adding the "the" before words such as google, twitter, internet adds a big of a laugh.  People don't know how to respond typically).  I am constantly seeing people post scrambles of words with # and @ and wondered if there was a new language that I had not learned.  I thought I had the world conquered.  I was poole_nikki and was ready to add people.  Then I spoke with my friend Scotty and he caused some anxiety for me.  He asked me, so nikki is this for work or for personal?  What is the purpose of your twitter account?  Why is your name so terrible? Are you going to be a follower or tweeter?  I secretly went home and cried after this.  I didn't know there was so much to getting a twitter account.  I have not logged in to my account since that day.  It is thinking about what it has done...

So what does this all have to do with my blog?  Well my sister asked me today if I was on the twitter.  I told her I signed up but hadn't done much with it.  I also told her that I signed up for a social marketing course and am going to learn more about social media and marketing.  I love learning and this is going to benefit my current sales role.  Then I happen to mention to her that I started this blog and I was hesitant to give her the address.  I wrote my first blog about a month ago and although sweet blog you are on my mind everyday, I have neglected you.  I told her that I need to work on it.  My sister read my first and only post then texted me "I like your first post!" then a second text came through "haha procrastinating on working on your blog".  Well I'll be damned!  I created this blog as a source to escape working on other things, and after 1 blog entry I am working on other things rather than my blog.

I still don't have my direction of twitter figured out.  That should take about a month and a few sleepless nights fretting.  I want it to be clever and quirky yet informative.
