The infamous blue pill may get things going in the bedroom, but if you want to get things going in Cyberspace it seems all you need is to get some Facetime on Facebook!
I am an avid Twitterer and a good Twitizen, but I don't get too many @sass or D sass messages. I have had a personal blog since 2004, but I rarely get even 1 comment on my posts, despite toiling over every witty and pithy sentence (at least in my mind they are witty and pithy). Yet I put a video on my Facebook profile and lo and behold, I am suddenly "viral." Granted, I put some work into the video production and I "tagged" Chris Brogan, which gave me a jump start with his active following. And now Jeff Pulver was kind enough to link to my video from his well read blog. That said, as I watch the comments grow and add many new found Facebook Friends, I can see just how well the "virality" (that's viral vitality) is built into the Facebook platform... and it really does work. When someone comments on my video it appears in their profile and news feed for all of their friends to be exposed to. If one of their friends then comments, it goes out to their circle... and on and on and on.
In many respects, this is the power of a "closed system" as opposed to the "open" Internet at large. For a "regular guy with a regular blog" like me, posting on this blog is like putting a message in a bottle, tossing it out to sea, and hoping it will drift to shore where someone may notice it and respond. Posting on Facebook is like going around your neighborhood and sticking a flyer in everyone's mailbox. The flyer in the mailbox is much more likely to be read than the message in the bottle!
Thankfully, I am not yet in need of a "virility" boost from the little blue pill, but I will happily enjoy the "virality" boost I have gotten from Facebook!
UPDATE:
(For those of you not in my neighborhood on Facebook, here is the aforementioned video)
Woohoo! First one to post a comment on this page.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very well done video that hit home for a lot of us. I wonder when SMADD Social Media ADD is made into a word.
Anyway, you nailed it on the head with the analogy of Facebook being like a neighborhood. People add friends because they want to know the details of what they are doing and who they are.
Twitter is great, but for quick keeping in touch. Linkedin-you only get to know my business side.
But with facebook, you can see who I am, what I am doing, learn about me by seeing who I connect to, and what I like.
Only friends interested in promoting things you do would care that much about you-hence a close group of buddies that help ya out!
Truth is, beyond your clever ploy of tagging me, that video was frickin' hilarious! Truly! The only downside is that it's hidden inside Facebook. Set that free on YouTube, and you're destined for a hit.
ReplyDeleteGlad your trick worked. : )
Thanks Chris... You mean the mention of "BACN" didn't make my tagging of you Kosher? I will see what I can do about emancipating the video from within the cyber confines of Facebook. Thanks again. In all seriousness, I am glad I tagged you, as it has opened all sorts of doors to new connections that otherwise might have been missed... That's the whole point, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLOL. Oh that would be funny if it weren't so true!
ReplyDeletehehe ok i'm sold on this blog now.
ReplyDeleteok, because I too value social networking, a brief bit about who I am and a quick comment after that.
I'm a NYC area fine artist/graphic designer/art director-you know the type. I'm not a kid, but like you, I value humor and "toiling over every witty and pithy sentence" :).
I think that a little video production effort, as you did with this one, is worth it.
I hope to see you around facebook!

ReplyDeleteThe Viagra Effect might be thought of as some minor problem that affects older men. Or possibly those women who live with or date older men perhaps. However, the Viagra effect can in fact lead to problems for the larger society. Both Instapundit and Tyler Cowen point to this piece.
ReplyDeleteNow, before I explain it, take a guess at an answer to this question. When did the last widow from the US Civil War die?
Very good viagra information Generic Propecia (generic Finasteride) is used to cure the hair loss and male-pattern baldness in the men. Generic Propecia contains Finasteride as the active constituent that prevents the hair loss and stimulates the hair growth.

Erectile Dysfunction FAQ's
ReplyDeleteImpotence, or penile erectile dysfunction, in men is not as rare as one would think it is.
In fact, one out of ten men around the world is affected by this condition. It is not exclusive to old men either. Impotence is caused not just by physical factors,
but mental factors as well.
Exercising on a regular basis and eating healthy food will increase your ability to sustain prolonged physical effort and we all know that sex is effort.
Smoking, frequently drinking large quantities of alcohol, taking recreational drugs and lack of exercising will sap your stamina and also slow down the flow of blood.
Penis exercises can be used for maintaining fitness, preventing or controlling premature ejaculation and increasing the length and girth of the penis.
by penis enlargement pills you can overcome these problems and not only that you can also enlarge, extend also to strengthen your penis and premature ejaculation will not exist anymore for you.

The beauty of Android Apps is the fact that the Android operating system is open source. Google were very astute here, allowing the creativity of bedroom developers to shine through, and although Android Apps have some way to go before they reach the 280,000 plus apps for Apple, there are plenty to choose from. So the simple question is, what are the Top 10 Android Apps you must have?
