Social Networking Thoughts #1

Facebook, You Tube, Google Sites, Twitter . . . the list goes on and on. People seem to have a need to put out information about themselves. Some are trying to sell things, some to promote things, some, just to be seen. There are blogs, tweets, videos, sites, and all the combinations there of. The trick seems to be to drive visitors to some action or to make money from advertising (views and clicks). Most, I would suspect, aren't all that successful. Some go viral and result in thousands or even millions of views. Some languish while others thrive. I'm going to spend some time investigating this for my own education. I'll write what I find here and in the Bob Breedlove blog to share my insights. I'm going to promote my boy's skateboarding passion through their sites:

• Addicted 2 Skateboarding
• D2JR09 at You Tube

It will be an interesting experiment as I'm an old guy who, if I ever got on a skateboard would probably mame myself badly! But what the heck. I'm going to go for it. Our objective is to make some money from advertising (views, clicks), spread the word about skateboarding, and have some fun. Watch this space and the Bob Breedlove blog for more information on our adventures.
