Getting to Know You…
Hi all! Man it seems like forever since I’ve been able to post here. Do you feel the same?
Anywho, because of what happened, it came to my attention just how many people read here that have no way of getting in touch with me when the site is down. For the majority of you, that’s not a problem. Either you have my email address or you’re just not that upset about not being able to contact me for whatever amount of time. And that’s okay because I’m not always the best correspondent.
However, it would have been very nice to be able to let you know what was going on.
Because of that, I have been ‘inspired’ to tell you about a few of the other places you can find me, should something like this happen again. (Let’s all hope that it doesn’t.)
I’m at other places to, but these two are the ones I generally check in on every day. If you have any recommendations of other things I should join, let me know. Just keep in mind that I’m usually quite lazy and I’m proud of the fact that I have two social sites that I visit daily.
Feel free to friend me on any of these sites. It would be great, though, if you could let me know that you’re friending me because you saw this post. (“Hi, I’m ___. I read you on ___.) That’s not possible for all the sites, but I will definitely appreciate it if you put it in when you can.
Thank you all. Now it’s time for lunch.

Recommendations - well, there is one site I think every writer should join, and use. Why? It is a social site, but it is far more than that. Basically, it is the best Web research tool ever invented (full disclosure: I work for them - but that only came about because they are the best research tool invented
). Diigo - http://www.diigo.com - allows you to bookmark and cache web pages that interest you, and to highlight important passages, leave sticky notes on the page, and much more.

Thank you for the recommendation WA. I’ll nose around there today and see how I like it.
