My online life is just way too complicated, people. I don't know what made me think I could handle three blogs, three Facebook accounts, four Twitter streams, three email addresses. At first I thought I was "organizing" the information, but man, is it hard to keep with all of them! The thing about social media for me is that it feels so...important. Meaning, I feel like if I delete a Twitter account, the 37 people who added me to a Twitter list will see that my account is gone and, I don't know, dislike me? Obviously I understand the overall importance of social media, but I also am thinking that over-saturation is much less effective. Is it really necessary, for example, to have four Twitter accounts?

this giveaway is closed. Kraft Foods, makers of products like Oreos, Ritz crackers, Stove Top stuffing, and Maxwell House coffee, have re-launched their Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages to make it even easier for busy cooks to find great recipes and cooking tips.

Tweet-a-Cause and Make A Wish!
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LeapFish Inc. All opinions are 100% mine. The Make-a-Wish foundation is the world's largest wish-granting organization, and right now, they are trying to help make a wish come true for a sick little boy. Through Make-a-Wish's Adopt-a-Wish program, a sponsor can "adopt" the wish and raise the money needed to grant it. To raise awareness of this program and get the social media community involved, LeapFish is sponsoring the Make-a-Wish Tweet-a-Cause. The wish that LeapFish wants to grant is for four year old Jacob, who has Atresia, a rare and life-threatening illness. His wish is to go to Disneyland with his family. To help make his wish come true, search engine LeapFish partnered with Make-a-Wish and "adopted" Jacob's wish. Their "Tweet-a-Cause" campaign gives five cents towards granting Jacob's wish for each tweet sent through the LeapFish website. If you have your own Twitter account, please tweet the following … [Read more...]
