My Twitter and me

I love twitter! It is a perfect tool to use with so many other places on the internet. I have lots of twitter friends. I talk to people I know, people I don't know. It is a great way to connect with the world outside of the world I know. I can share my blog, my squidoo lenses, my RedGage shares or just say something and people usually respond or retweet.

Jewelsofawe on Facebook

Many squids have a fan page on Squidoo. It is a great way to have all your squid fans know about your squidoo activities. I have many as my regular facebook page friends also which does mix with family.

Here are some of the badges I use to spread the word about my fan page:

Zazzle

Do you have a zazzle store? I have had one for a while. Here is a preview of some of what I have there. I wish we could get these flash panels on Squidoo. Putting it here on my blog and then putting the feed in the rss module is a way to get that done, at least while this post shows up.

Make a personalized gift at Zazzle.

Video sharing

My family is not close to me, so I thought it would be fun to make videos so they can sort of share in my life. It would be fun for them to also do it. After I make a video I will put them on Facebook or You Tube or both. I made a video of my dogs as my first video in this experiment. I used my digital camera's video for this video.

Here it is:
