Philosophical wonder woman

I have to make a formal apology to Google+.  In the previous blog post , I stated my opinion that, other than the "hangouts,"  Google+  seemed like little more than a simplified Facebook page. But then this morning, I was curious to know the origins of Labor Day, typed "Labor Day" in the search box and I discovered an article by a dear friend regarding Labor Day getaways and it was the 3rd search result... simply and only because she shared it on Google+. I don't know about you but that motivates me quite a bit more to utilize Google's social media tool. If you use blogger, it automatically prompts you to share with your circles.  It's nice not to have to set that up in your blog functionality and just have it "happen."

I am trying to make the transition from web designer to more of a marketing / social media role because that has been my passion for a while.  So naturally I use as many social media tools as possible, evaluating their end result and ways to fully utilize them. Obviously Facebook and Twitter  were a given in their massive popularity and YouTube began as a fun experiment for this singin dancin fool. Then I really wanted to blog about important and fun issues to me but find there's rarely time to spend the quality time I want on it.  I tried to keep regular posts going for a while but now I'm lucky if I post every month or so. Now there's Pinterest , which seems to be spreading like wildfire - and I enjoy it because I am such a visual person. Of course I'm an avid, daily user of LinkedIn for the purpose of networking in the job arena and finding that right place of employment. Then we have Google+ which you can't really ignore since, well it's Google
