Some Haunts
In the past few months, I've found a few haunts on the web that have sucked away at my time.
The first, if you haven't heard of it yet, you are really stuck under a rock, it is Twitter. It is a short form of blogging--and you have friends and followers, and well, it is based on a simple question: What are you Doing? Answer it, and you have created your first Tweet. If you're interested, sign up here. And add me as a follower (bethanyh).
Now the other. This one consumes even MORE time. POSH Mama. It's for girls only (sorry guys) and a social network for moms (mostly, but you can join if you aren't a mom!). It talks about fashion, fun crafty things, all things children, and of course lets you find a network of mothers with similar interests. Join in discussions and groups, and leave a note on comment walls. But, I'd be lying if I didn't say there was some self-promotion involved here. I was asked my Posh Mama herself to help out--my book reviews are being featured weekly on Fridays. So, if this is up your alley, feel free to stop on by and sign up yourself. Let 'em know I sent you... and of course enjoy the great haute mamas!
Oh, and I can't forget LoveOfReading.com. Seriously, it is a great combination of sharing good books with readers and promoting authors. You can enter book raffles, read author blogs, listen to author interviews, read book excerpts, read reviews, and take part in an online book fair! I love book fairs--I was the kid in high school that had to trim down her pile of books before she could purchase them when the book fair hit our local library (and school library). I am totally in love with the idea of an online book fair. So please stop by the site between November 14 and 16 from 10am - 8pm EST. I'll love you for it!
