Shortened URLs

This is how I shorten URLs for Twitter and anywhere else space is limited. This service will also let me know how many times the new tiny url gets clicked. That way I know what people find most interesting and what they would rather skip. Oh, also I can tweet directly from tweetburner, adding whatever verbiage I want to accompany the shortened URL.

What do YOU use to shorten your URLs?

Twitter Spam: Love It, Leave It or Ignore It

Joanne_Dora@SofiaMiller & unfollow everyone who's every 2nd tweet is trying to sell me something or how 2 increase my followers - not why I'm here...

twiddledout@SofiaMiller SICK OF IT.. NEED SPAM FILTERS!!

Joanne_Dora@SofiaMiller You know for the 1st while I didn't even know what spam was and then Bam! it hit me;)& once every 24 is fair f interactive peep

MichaelPecken@SofiaMiller I look thru the posts before I add anyone to follow. The commercial stuff has to be a small percentage or forget it.

"Spam" was the "junk mail" of email inboxes. You know, the emails you didn't ask for, from people generally you didn't know, asking you to buy something. "Spam" however has broadened in meaning over time. Generally it means someone is trying to sell something to masses of people with clever text & presentation & testimonials... Also for some people SPAM means something that is misleading, that is false.

BaxyBoy INFO: If you get an email warning you not to eat tinned pork because of swine flu, ignore it... it's spam!

Now because of the broad meaning of spam some people are confused

JoostBoers just receives a Swedish newsletter of a software supplier. Can't figure out if it acutally is a newsletter or spam

A newsletter that is sent to masses of people, unasked for by those people, that gives you the opportunity to buy something, is spam. However it may actually be spam that is telling the truth and giving you useful and honest information. That's of course my opinion.



By the way, TweetLater offers a paid service in which you can "mute" the people your ar following and select only those people whose tweets you want to show up in your timeline.

Me? This month of May 2009 is a numbers game. The target is 5,000 reciprocal followers. Maybe in the future for every new reciprocal over 5,000 I will weed out one of the tweeple who just spews ads and quotes day in and day out. I find the ads and the quotes to be a waste of time. ;)



Whatever "spam" means to you, how do you feel about receiving spam in your timeline?

Oh, the Places You Will Go!

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.
Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
Dr Seuss (1990)"

I found this gem on Lori's site it resonated so much with me! What do YOU think?

LORI_SF It came out of one of the books I read to my children when they were little "Oh, The Places He Went: A Story about Dr Suess"

Natural Pet Care

Does anyone have a photograph of their pet you'd like to share with me here?

This is a picture of Jennie's dog. He is 7 with the energy and hyperactivity of a puppy! He has allergies, poor dear and gets shots to control them.

Jennie is the first person to introduce me to Halo Pet Food, thhe company tha Ellen Degneres recently gained co-ownership of.

Have you ever used Halo Pet Food? Or any other "natural care product" for your pet? Thanks for sharing your pet picture and experience and thoughts about such products.

thepurebananaHello! I just wanted to let you know I saw your mention about the Halo pet food and I literally just bought a sample. Right up my alley!
