Thanks for visiting. I am no longer updating Notes to Self. I hope you'll join me on my current website, PlantingDandelions.com

Put that Cosmo quiz down!

And take this one instead, brought to you by the sparkly brilliance that is the collective mind of Kirtsy to test your fluency in social media:
    A. When you hear the term social media, you think:
  • It should be followed by the term optimization.
  • Greatest thing evah!
  • I love Page Six!
  • I have no idea what you’re talking about.

  • B. When you see things like ‘twitter’, ‘flickr’, ‘etsy’, ‘vlog’, ‘flagr’,and ‘dopplr’ you think…
  • They’re all soooo 2008…I’m now beta testing things you’ll hear about sometime in 2010, if you’re lucky.
  • I could not live without these things. Please don’t make me try.
  • Where are all the vowels?
  • When you make up words that aren’t really words, you just seem silly.

  • C. When I say RSS, you say…
  • Meh.
  • Yay!
  • Umm…
  • Stop.

Check your answers and count up your numbers.
If you or someone you love scored between 9 and 12, well then it’s time for some serious hands-on learnin’. Don’t be scared. It’s painless. And super easy.


I love those girls and everything they do. They are a wild party. Even our conference calls involve feather boas and clinky drinks. So I was thrilled when they emailed to say they wanted to bring Hands On Social Media training to Little Rock, with me as the presenter. And when the fabulous Capital Hotel stepped up and offered to house it, well, I kissed the Capital Hotel full on the mouth.

If you come, I promise to show some self-control. But inside, I will be very, very excited. Did I mention it's FREE, thanks to a sponsorship by Microsoft?

It happens this Saturday, June 20th at 10 am, and again at 2 pm. There are two offerings of the same, two-hour session. Registration couldn't be easier. Go here for all the details (scroll down to Little Rock). Please note that the Saturday night cocktail party has been postponed to a later date (tba). Instead, why not come meet me and get a gander at who's who in Little Rock social media at tonight's TweetUp, at the Capital Bar and Grill, 5:30-8? There are drink specials and free valet parking. Not twittering yet? No worries. Come anyhow. Most of us are amazingly normal.

Just find me. I will tuck you under my wing, and provide translation services if needed. I look like this:

See? Perfectly normal.


P.S. I have more 'splainin to do on THV's This Morning show Friday. Watch my twitter updates for the time.
