      My life on the interwebs, my new strategy, and what it is all about.

      I have been exploring the interwebs for as long as I can remember. As I look back I could probably tell you what I was doing on the internet at any given age.

      -When I was in the 2nd grade I went to Take-Your-Kid-To-Work-Day with my dad. We had a 56k modem at home (that is pretty much all anyone had back then, if they even had internet) but my dad's work had a T1 internet line. I spent a large part of the day on various Power Ranger fan sites. I spent so much time surfing for info about the Mighty Morphers that my Dad asked if I was even paying attention to what he was doing. I listed off what all the faders were on the soundboard from left to right.
      -Sometime shortly after that I made my first Geocities page.
      -In 6th and 7th grade my online activity was mostly on a message board for the band Barrage, my favorite band at the time.
      -The beginning of 8th grade marked my entrance into the world of instant messaging. I had a crush on agirl from camp. She asked me if I had MSN-IM. I didn't but I said I already did and quick made an account, just to talk to her.
      -I started my first blog in the 9th grade from the Moorhead High School library. It was after school, Knowledge Bowl practice had finished early and I was waiting until it was time for my mom to come pick me up.
      -I joined Facebook the first day it was open to Northwestern College students and I was on Twitter before a lot of my friends even knew what it was.
      -Just a few weeks ago I joined Google+, a new social networking site with great potential. It has some awesome features and some things it still needs to tweak a little to perfect. I am excited to see how it develops. With the recent addition of Google+ to my online arsenal I am changing my strategy for the internet.

      Until now I mostly posted everything everywhere. My twitter was the same as my blog which was the same as my facebook. That is all about to change. My postings on the web are going to be diversified. Different aspects for each site according to its best functions. My website is going to be just for my bigger posts, real blogs, not micro blogs. If you want to know about the day to day happenings of my life, funny things I overhear, or little things that happen to me then you should follow me on Twitter. If you want to see all the fun things I find on the internet, hilarious videos, new gadgets,  or whatever else the internet holds check out my Google+. I am going to use Facebook less for posting things and more for actual communication with others, messages and walls and whatnot.

      I think all these services (and plenty of other ones) are just trying to mimic the way we connect with people in real life. They try to replicate our relationships and imitate our interactions. Even though none of these services are as good as real life, face to face, actual hanging out, some of them have some pretty nice features. There are plenty of people I wish I could see more, sometimes schedules get in the way, sometimes distance, sometimes I don't know why it happens I just don't see someone in forever, but thanks to the wonders of technology in the age we live in we can still connect. That's what it is all about, connecting with each other.

      So hit me up on the Interwebs. Friend me, follow me, circle me, whatever you want to call it.
      Let’s connect.

      My favorite twitter conversation of today. Featuring @kelseylouise

      Kelsey and some friends are on the way to Nebraska and saw an interesting semi. This is the conversation that followed.

      Kelsey: We just passed a semi carrying hot tubs and a fire engine. #NEroadtrip

      Me: It is the "things that have to do with water" semi. You didn't see the boxes of nalgenes or the thousands of tiny balloons.

      Kelsey: or that has to do with hot things. Which explains the models. :) 

      Me: I assume the models were riding in the hot tubs... #thatisthewaytoroadtrip

      Kelsey: Oh most definitely. Except it's terribly cold, windy, and rainy so they didn't look very happy.

      Me: That is why they have the hot tub. If I can hottub in -30 degrees they should be able to handle some rain and wind.

      Kelsey: Well really I think they were just upset because their hair was getting all messy.

      Me: Ahh... That is fair.

      Apparently my twitter has been off all day. I knew something felt off... Don't worry everyone, I am all caught up on your lives again.

      I am pretty sure 90% of tweets on Monday and Friday are about it being Monday or Friday.
