I've been stretching my brain a little this evening:
I've joined Twitter. To be honest my main motivation was so that I could get extra entries for give-aways!! If you are a Tweeter (or whatever you call it--I don't know the proper jargon as of yet), I invite you to follow--you can just click on the little bird to the left. I don't think the hosts of giveaways are going to think much of my tweeting if I only have a few followers! Oh, I should mention that now that I'm on, I think it's pretty cool. I will probably update thoughts on what I'm reading, and who knows what else. I don't know exactly what I'm doing yet, but it doesn't seem too hard. And if you don't want to follow me on Twitter, that's alright--I'm just happy you have visited me here!
I also started a new blog, No Such Thing as a Free Lunch, dedicated to posting about giveaways that I have entered and celebrations over free or really cheap things I might acquire. This may be a passing phase, but I've done a fair amount of entering into book giveaways as well as a few non-literary ones lately. I'm particularly drawn to cleaning product giveaways, which is shocking if you could see the state of my house right now. So if you want updates on some contests out there, you can visit and become a follower or subscribe. Again, I am shamelessly trying to boost my chances in giveaways. (I really wanted to win Galway Bay in one of the gazillion contests for it, but no such luck!)
I've only got one post up so far which is for the National Poetry Month Giveaway at Drey's Library. Six poetry books!
I just haven't figured out how twitter works and why it is beneficial. Seems like it is all the rage right now, though!
ReplyDeleteby the way, I love the Pride & Prejudice soundtrack playing on your background--makes me want to stay here all day. :)
I just signed up with Twitter today and am following you. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words on my Inkdeath review :)
ReplyDeleteI've also recently joined twitter - will have to go look for you there...
So happy you joined Twitter! It's so much fun over there. Glad to have you!
ReplyDeleteI'm following you now on Twitter! (BethFishReads). I love your Twitter button!
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to figure out Twitter. It's so . . . busy! I can't keep up. LOL
ReplyDeleteI was an infrequent tweeter until I got Tweet Deck. IT's a program you keep running on your desktop to constantly check on new tweets. I love the cool links people pass through. You'll get more followers if you share interesting things. I followed you :)
ReplyDeleteAlso my other blog http://callistasramblings.blogspot.com doesn't hold giveaways very often right now but most of my giveaways are cleaning products so check back. I have more coming up.
I like your idea of starting a separate contest blog. It seems like every contest asks you to make a post on your blog, but I just don't like doing that...You're a clever one :)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about joining Twitter too but I haven't even gone over to check it out yet. I just don't know how in the world I'd keep up but it does sound like fun.
ReplyDeleteLook's like you've got a lot of good things going on.
