Do YOU TUBE?

What do you know, I'm actually a tiny bit on top of the exercise this week!!!
I am a member of YOUTUBE! I find it to be a cool site, if you check out the seomoz web 2.0 awards, you'll find that YOUTUBE ranks in the top three for video category. I also belong to metacafe and that came in third. I do have several faves in my file as well as a couple of postings that my hubby and I uploaded. Watch in order...

Hey, I just went to my account and got a message from a buddy named AVDJ who was spending his vacation going on a scavenger hunt! He wanted people from YOUTUBE who visited his site to give him items to look for. I asked him to find a public library, go inside and ask for a copy of To Kill A Mockingbird...HE DID!!! My alias in youtube is Phootyboots...



I also wanted to share a silly video my husband created for me of an incident that involved wild monkeys in Japan... it was his first creative endeavor and unfortunately his last (for now).

2006 Web 2.0 Awards

This was sooo AWESOME!! seomoz along with flickr have been my absolute favorite exercises! The people that were interviewed in the Zeitgeist section; Danny Sullivan, Brad stone to name a few, gave the most truthful in site I've found with regards to the entire "Web 2.0" phenomenon. I suggest checking the site out and in particular, visit the Zeitgeist section. Proof is in the pudding so to speak.

My favorite section was the retail awards in the short list. The short list gives you only the top awarded sites in a gazillion categories. My favorite categories were retail and photo's and digital imaging. Flickr came in first for the later category and astoundingly enough, a site my daughter loves and spends money she doesn't have (although, now I'll be buying her something cuz it's such a cool site) came in second in the retail category! It's called threadless they carry nothing but unique t-shirts and hoodie designs by up and coming artists.

Oh, I spent this weekend outside!!! Yeah, I took a few pictures of spring and the chaos that ensues when the sun shines on the Eastside! It's like an ant hill that has been laying dormant for the winter. check my flickr account, you can click right to it by clicking on my flickr badge to the right of this blog.

Enjoy the sunshine, enjoy life!!!
