I’m A Gazelle! JK Instructs Men On Pole Dancing (For the Ladies)

The Daily B*tch — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 14:35:14 +0000

Here’s a fun Sunday breakfast video (for the ladies). Jamie instructs men on the fine art of pole dancing. Meet “good-n-plenty” and “menage-a-trois”. My favorite moves? “Peek-a-book” and “I’m A Gazelle”. Happy Sunday!

SCAM ALERT- BIGBOOK dot EU SCAMS WordPress Bloggers – Sponsored by Marketers Gary Conn and Mark Mason According To BIGBOOK EU Sourcefiles

The Daily B*tch — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:36:03 +0000

BIGBOOK.EU is SCAMMING wordpress bloggers. See April Winchell comments. They just copied and changed my article which was complimentary to April to read UN-complimentary, copied and pasted it to their own bogus ass website and then pinged her blog.

According to the BIGBOOK.EU source files which are hosted by WORDPRESS.ORG- the co-creators of this retarded, SCAM SITE are:

GARRY CONN – of GarryConn.com —- and also —- MARK MASON – of MasonWorld.com

If Garry and Mark did NOT co-create this site- they may want to pursue whomever did- because both their names are on it. And it’s a crappy thing to do to the WordPress bloggers- regardless if they are on WordPress.com or WordPress.org. Please spread the word about BIGBOOK.EU and it’s scam tactics.

April Winchell Is The Bomb Diggety – RE: Obama Tired of Your MoFo Shit

The Daily B*tch — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 15:27:05 +0000

Did you see this? April Winchell - “Barack Obama Is Tired of Your Motherfucking Shit“. With mp3 audio tracks. Absolutely hilarious. I love April. Her virtual vision “… a Valhalla of mediocrity, where people could spend hours of their lives they would never get back.” And she’s all about “essential oils” too! Anyone that’s been banned by Bill O’Reilly is a bitch worthy of your love. [ Related: @aprilwinchell / Tweet Credit: @zaibatsu]

JOB ANGELS on Twitter! Job Seekers Find Jobs – HERE!

The Daily B*tch — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 14:13:36 +0000

A comprehensive list of daily JOB LEADS on Twitter, open jobs, resume examples, job seeker resources, job coaching, recruiters and more! Plus my twitter to Barack Obama about the grass roots efforts of the @JobAngels volunteers. See the whole shebang HERE!

JOB ANGELS On Twitter! And Twittering To Barack Obama About Helping the Jobless Find Jobs (With Great Job Resources)

The Daily B*tch — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:02:28 +0000

Yes I “tweeted” to Barack Obama. He’s seems a grass roots kind of person, so today I sent him a note via Twitter to bring to his awares the FABULOUS grass roots effort of the @JOBANGELS Team on Twitter.

What is Job Angels? A volunteer group of folks from all levels of professional culture that work to connect job seekers with jobs! I’m totally impressed with the diversity of the Job Angels team which includes executives, PR specialists, resume writers, recruiters, sponsors you name it — all volunteering their time, skill or networking ability to help people. And working together with common purpose and embracing diversity is exactly what makes good stuff happen.

What do Job Angels do? They don’t just send shout outs about jobs available, they also send shout outs about the (talented) folks seeking jobs and link to that person’s profile, site, linked-in or twitter page. So talent gets propagated via Twitter, those hiring get the word out about jobs they need done, and that’s how Job Angels helps job seekers get connected with jobs. Everything starts with “1″ – helping even one person makes all the difference. I’ve offered to help Job Angels, and if you can, help spread the word. Hope someone on Barack’s team got the Tweet to pass it on too!

I also discovered numerous helpful resources for job seekers (list below), and met some truly giving individuals. So here’s a “shout out” of my own to a few really special folks like: the Job Angels Team Leaders for ANSWERING ALL REQUESTS for help (which they do!), to @DonnaWard whom has contributed numerous job leads for everyone on Twitter, to Donna Marie Antoniadis, who co-founded She’s Connected, a multi-profile social networking site just for women, to @AlisonDoyle, for assembing a GREAT list of job sites and career experts on Twitter (among many other things), and @mikebrown for always being there with encouragement and creative inspiration.

Twitter Mystery Solved! About Retweeting (RT)

The Daily B*tch — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 14:17:55 +0000

As a newbie on Twitter, I noticed a lot of incoming tweets beginning with the letters “RT”, and wasn’t sure exactly what that meant or for what purpose it served. Searching “RT” on twitter was a little problematic since words including “RT” (i.e. part, cart, heart etc…) dominated the search results. But by happy coincidence, I landed on the answer to this Twitter mystery here, see: What Is Retweeting? Thanks Kevin Rose!

And the purpose of retweeting? Potential exposure to new followers on Twitter. Kevin explains:

Another alternate to using RT (contributed by a commentator on Kevin’s blog) is to use the recycle symbol, ♺, as a prefix in retweets. (copy the symbol from copypastecharacter.com)

To “retweet” Kevin’s post about RT on Twitter, paste the below into your Twitter update:

Openzine! Create Your Own Online Magazine

The Daily B*tch — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 03:17:45 +0000

And here’s another cool thing I found via Twitter: Openzine! Someone on their team added me to their “follows” list, so I checked it out. What a cool concept. You can create your own rag, mag or zine online by pulling in content from an existing blog, create new content; and also create your own covers. Your new publication is then featured on Openzine as a public “periodical”. How cool is that? One interesting “zine” I discovered is “The Book of Letters” (published by Reverend Richard J. Mackin). It seems to focus on hazing known food producers e.g. M&M, Taco Bell, Funions (for example) about the ingredients, marketing, advertising of their products. Hilarious! And who wouldn’t want to ask McD’s the logic behind “supersizing”, or ask Heinz to explain what’s so freaking “fancy” about their ketchup right? Burning questions!

Check out Openzine as another way to publish your great idea, invention, artwork, charity projects, product or message (or in my case – RANTS). Have fun.

Facebook Sucks For Doing This

The Daily B*tch — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:07:58 +0000

Gay Or Straight – Your Facebook Is Their Fortune >>FACEBOOK is planning to exploit the vast amount of personal information it holds on its 150 million members by creating one of the world’s largest market research databases…

Not a new idea, really. The whole point behind any “free web service” is its eventual “monetization”. So the only truly “free” thing about it is the freedom you give the provider to directly access your personal info, e-mail, preferences, profile etc. It’s called fine print. Selling information is a big huge business.

“Marketing experts have said the vast amount of personal information Facebook holds may be worth “untold millions” to market research companies…. “

GOD Is On Twitter! And Other Discoveries For Twitter Newbies Like Me

The Daily B*tch — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 16:08:00 +0000

I’ve resisted the whole notion of Twitter since its inception. Everytime I went to check out whatever fabulous “insights” other bloggers raved about – somehow I landed on the tweets that were talking about pom-poms or cotton candy. I left disappointed, and didn’t really get the point.

But a commentator on my article about Social Networking for Job Seekers, inspired me to give Twitter a try. Yes, everyone can attest to the fact that there IS much “mindless chatter”, but I’ve also discovered some great folks that put out some pretty darn useful information for finding one’s way around the virtual world as well as the REAL world. And nifty Twitter tips! (below)

Some of my favorite finds:

@MikeBrown. Mike has a FANTASTIC website about creativity and innovation. Trying to launch a new product, idea, innovation, a new YOU? Check out Brainzooming. Mike’s got tons of connections referenced all throughout his pages as well as useful videos, articles, books. Really worth the while and he is truly the very nicest person. A genuine help to everyone.

@sallyhogshead. Woman knows her stuff when it comes to branding, marketing, what works, what won’t and WHY (most important) – she’s amazing. She’s got the play by play on the Superbowl (and the big budget ads down-lo too). Check out her site RADICAL.

@bitpakkit. Bits and pakkits, advertising creativity, being transactional – consistently interesting. Guess where his site is? Bitpakkit.com.

@jorgebarba. All about WHY knowledge is power when it comes to networking, connecting, focus… plus some insight on NASA His website: Stratige.

@danschawbel. Dan is an expert on personal branding and social media with many accolades to his credit. His site The Personal Branding Blog has many useful insights on how to go about getting where you want to be. We all have great ideas right? Dan shares tips on how to get aligned with your goals. BTW: One of my favorite articles is his discussion about Twitter.

@momku. I love Momku. I can relate, along with many other moms. Plus she’s funny. Her blog (entitled with my favorite letter) “The Letter B” is fabulous also.

@fireland. He’s rude, offensive, cutting, and I love to hate him (just kidding- he’s really very funny).

@tessaru. The most positive person on twitter!

@greatcooks. Truly AMAZING recipes in real time via Twitter. And a gorgeous recipe blog. Check it out!

@stillred. Just a really funny dude. And what he says can tend to be true.

@gstromberg. A fine grass roots charitable activist. Canned Water 4 Kids. Support them!

And of course, I did find GOD on twitter. See @god. I’ve been saying daily prayers- and he STILL freaking ignores me. Anyone interested in adding me to their FOLLOW list, I’ll gladly add you on my follows in return.
