ABOUT.ME

So, I guess it's about time I talk ABOUT.ME. Afterall, I am blogging again so that I have something to put on my ABOUT.ME page!

BzzAgent hooked me up with ABOUT.ME and I didn't really get what it was at first. So I added a picture and a little info, some links, and now I get it. It's a splash page or basically a portal to my Internet life so that people can easily find everything they ever wanted to know about me. I don't know if this is a good thing or not. But, it's there. You, too, can visit my portal.

I asked around on Facebook to see if any of my friends was using ABOUT.ME and I actually had one friend who also had an ABOUT.ME page. She said she had set it up about a year ago, but had forgotten about it. It made me realize that it might be best for someone who has a business or something like that, sort of as an advertisement. Hers was focused on her flying as she is a pilot and I thought...ooooh, okay, I see how this could be a good thing. I see that there are celebs with ABOUT.ME pages and I guess that makes sense. I just don't know if anyone is really going to go in search of ME. But, if they do... all they need to do is hit ABOUT.ME and they will find everything they need.

If you want to create your own portal, it's free. Once you do, shoot me a comment so I can take a look and add you to my favorites!

Oh yeah, and there is a special offer right now... you can get 50 free business cards, so once you are signed up, be sure you check out the OFFERS link.

Pick Me!!!

As I've mentioned, I started this blog because of my affiliation with BzzAgent. I tend to do a lot of things I wouldn't normally do because of Bzz Campaigns that I join with BzzAgent. I mean, hello, they give me free things to try out and then I get to share how cool they are with my friends!

Some of the campaigns I've been in ended up not exciting me, but I've been lucky enough to try some great beauty products, some food products and I found my way to Gather and Audible and back to Blogger, technically, via my current about.me campaign.

Today they are offering a chance to try out Banangrams! I get excited about a lot of campaigns, but any time I get a chance at one that is right up my alley, I'm willing to go a little out of the way to get it! I am a word game JUNKIE. Seriously. I love playing games anyway, especially real life games with people! I play online games daily, think Lexulous - a version of Scrabble that is bigger and better and, well an addiction for me. Now Facebook has everyone playing Words With Friends and I was not missing out on that opportunity. When I can find a partner for a word game, I go for it. RIGHT THEN!

You can imagine my excitement when I saw that BzzAgent is offering a chance to try out a word game. I'M PERFECT FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. A word game junkie should definitely give this game a shot and a shout out. I just want to ask Jono to PICK ME! Because it is exciting to see a campaign that is also a product I'm excited about and have been thinking about giving a try! :::crossing my fingers:::
