Social Media Mavens

Psst... you...are you in? 

Are you a... 

SMA? (Social Media Addict) 

There is nothing to be ashamed of. There are legions of us and we rock. 

Now, if you don't know what Social Media is all about, you don't belong the blogosphere. Sorry. 

So, what are us SMA addicted to? Why, eachother of course. Nothing like a little 

 Blogger to start your morning. You wake up, grab some caffeine, check on MckMama and the rest of your peeps before you start your day. Your mate might find him/herself listening to conversations involving you and someone you've never met IRL... in fact, you even know what IRL stands for. You worry with these friends, celebrate with them, pray for them and feel like you know them. 

And well, since the internet browsers came up with this great idea to have Tabs, why not... say check out Facebook at the same time? 

You know, see what those random people you sorta remember from high school are up to? You glance at their status, look at their new pics and may even question, seriously? That is the best shot they had to post of themselves? (Oh, come on, admit it! You've though it about someone!)

And well, no Social Media Maven is complete without a twitter account. 

What is not to love about that cute little bird? You can see what the Montags' are up too, okay, scratch that. She makes me want to vomit. But.. you can see what Ace is up to, and that is just as good. And really, why wouldn't you want to hear about my latest run or ramblings?  Or what little Giancarlo has said lately? (that kid is a hoot!)

If you achieve Gold twitter Level? You may even find yourself checking for updates on your iphone..

..while using the bathroom. No, I'm not too proud to admit that. Own it. 

Your loved ones? They are used to you by now. Hubby may pass by and say, "Hi my dear, lovely wife, checking on your Social Media outlets?" You might nod, that is if you even hear him. After all, you're busy. He might even think he is funny and say something like, "I'm going to just drop a bomb on the house right now." Just to see if you are paying him any attention. (Honestly, they don't realize that we can do 2+ things at once? That the particular trait of not being able to is limited to male species?) 

The true Social Media Maven does not hesitate to use Google for everything. Want to know something? Google it. 

If you can't find it on Google, it probably doesn't exist. (BTW, if anyone comes across a conspiracy theory involving agents on the Mexican/Texas border who were given special op goggles that made them see crazy creatures, could you let me know? Thanks.) 

Ahh, yes. The life is tough, but somebody has to do it. Are you in? Are you a SMA? Am I missing an all important Social Media Application* that could further my life? Do tell. 

p.s. I purposely avoided Myspace, because, well, it is kinda trashy. 

pppps...Social Media? That is a term my husband uses. I think he heard it at one of his dork tech conferences.
