New Stuff and Overdue Thanks

I’ve bought a few new domains. SabrinaMassey.com – currently set up for a school project and SabrinaMassey.info set up as a personal blog. Sort of an unplugged version of me.

It’s dark with a smidgen of pink and I’ve called it Sabrina Fair, after the play, woman of the world. I like that I have a rare name and it’s always kind of made me laugh that most people consider it a Hispanic name and expect me to be Hispanic. Kind of ironic just cuz I’m so pale, lol.

I wanted to take some time out and thank Wendy for her contributions every week to MouthyGirl.com – isn’t she awesome?!

I love her writing style, she is a true storyteller capable of bringing you right into her emotions and involving you in her point. Her posts reach out and grab you right through to the end and that’s what I’ve always liked about her writing.

I was selfish for a long time and kept her to myself on MySpace, where she blogs as well. If you ever want to see only her posts here, just click the category link above “Wendy’s Weekly Take”(<—or that one) and all her posts will show up for your reading pleasure.

Eventually, I realized I had to share her and thankfully she was willing to guest post here, every Monday I’m anxious to be the first person to read her post for the week, it’s one of the few treats I allow my nerdy self, lol. I’m privileged to be able to share her talent with you all and I’d love it if you have a favorite post of hers if you’d share that in the comments here.

Thanks everyone, and thanks Wendy!

Social Media: How Do You Use It?

A lot of us have a Myspace page, or a Facebook page, LinkedIn or are on Twitter, Plurk, MommyTalk.com or another social media website where we interact and connect with others, either for business purposes, social purposes or to catch up with old friends.

When I first signed upon MySpace it was the first time I’d been involved in social media, I was also learning alot about HTML markup at the time so MySpace filled two spots, musical interest, and the ability to practice what I knew of HTML.

I enjoyed it at first a lot, read a lot of bloggers that blog only on MySpace – and there are a lot there that are stellar bloggers, limited by the MySpace audience. One in particular that I enjoyed immensely still blogs on MySpace and by all accounts is very successful there, and has even written a book since.

I started blogging for the first time on MySpace. It was sheltered and useful in that I was able to learn my style, how I like to write and address people and I especially liked that I could control who saw the blog.

I’m interested in how you use social media, I have a MySpace page, LinkedIn, Twitter, MyBlogLog (which I hardly log onto anymore) and am open to others that might forward my cause as a blogger.

What are your thoughts on social media? A waste of time, or valuable resource?
