CrazyBusy? Let’s Make Connecting With Each Other Easier, Part One
If you’re reading this blog, chances are good it’s because the title, “CrazyBusy Mama,” resonates with you. Chances are also good that your crazybusy life may not let you keep up with CrazyBusy Mama as often as you’d like. I have a few solutions for you; today I’ll fill you in on the first one.
It’s Facebook.com: I highly recommend it. Social media is an excellent tool for staying in touch. One of the reasons I really love Facebook is because most of the updates are short (unless someone posts a note). Users are pretty much forced to leave posts that are only 140 characters or less. When you’re busy, that’s a much easier way to stay up-to-date with your friends or favorite businesses than having to find their blogs and read through long, drawn-out posts just to find out what they’ve been up to recently.
Facebook, to me, is like a social dashboard. Everything’s there: my family, my friends, my church, favorite causes and businesses, and fan pages of people and events that I want to know more about. I use Twitter — I’m definitely on there — but I find that unless I really utilize the new “lists” feature, I’m completely lost as far as keeping up on the updates of the people I want to hear from the most. I’m following over 2,000 people (and vice versa)…so the list feature works for me much better than just hopping on there and hoping I see the posts of someone I know (which is a little like playing Russian Roulette). But…at least for now, I’m a Facebook kind of girl.
And that leads me to the first way to connect with CrazyBusy Mama: on Facebook. Did you know that this blog has it’s own fan page? (Oops, my bad…Facebook got rid of the “fanpage” — you now have to “like” the page. Don’t even get me started on that.)
The fanpage (can’t seem to stop calling using that term — old habits die hard) is really a great invention. I love being able to share beneficial, fun, interesting, and news-worthy things that I find with you all, but don’t always have the time to sit here and write a blog post about it. On the fanpage, it’s easy to paste in the link and say, “Here you go, friends — check it out!” (And, yes — 90% of the time, the links I share are health and fitness related. I just love finding fresh information and new workouts for you!)
So stop by this link: http://facebook.com/crazybusymamablog and say hello. I’ll see you there!
Coming up tomorrow…a couple more ways to stay in the loop almost effortlessly about the top-notch health, fitness, and lifestyle info you’ll find here at CBM.
