Follow Friday: Scoutie Girl

If you're on twitter, you know that every Friday, twitter blows up with #ff or "Follow Friday" where users suggest people to "follow." I'd like to start the same thing here, but with some of my favorite blogs for you to "follow"! I hope to make it a new feature, and I hope you like it!

The next "Follow Friday" that I'd like to "introduce" you to is the blog Scoutie Girl. Do you have a blog where, in your Google Reader, you star/favorite EVERY SINGLE POST? Scoutie Girl is that blog for me. I've signed up for the daily e-mails, the newsletters, everything, and reading all of her posts, for us "creative types" is completely inspiring and just makes me want to put all of those creative thoughts in my head in ACTION.

If you need a kick in the butt, or just want constant good advice streaming into your Reader or RSS feed (and e-mail, if you sign up for her e-mails and newsletters!) I would bounce over to Scoutie Girl if I were you! You WILL NOT regret checking out this awesome blog!

Here are some of my favorite recent posts from Scoutie Girl:

• This post on valuing your creativity
• This post on the "fear of being organized"
• This advice on creative living

Do you follow Scoutie Girl? What are some of your favorite posts?

Do you have a blog that you would like to nominate for a Follow Friday post? Let me know in the comments, or send me an e-mail-- abandgeek88ATgmailDOTcom

The Social Network

While we're talking about social media, it would be silly to not include something about the somewhat recent movie The Social Network. Below is a trailer. Personally, I loved the movie. What did you think?

"Everything Ages Fast: Update!"

I found these "Vintage Social Media Posters" from here and I loved them and thought I would share.

One of the things that really caught my attention was the sticker on the side that said, "Everything ages fast: update!" which really got me thinking about how much twitter, facebook, and other social medias have been "ebbing and flowing." We talked in class about how some of these platforms become "plumbing" but what if the "plumbing" becomes outdated? The best example I can think of for this is MYSPACE. remember what THAT was all the rage? Now ... not so much.

It just goes to show as social media professionals, we need to STAY ON TOP of these different sites and applications, so we're ALWAYS up to date!
