Friday Fun: Three For Three
Jul 6, 2007
Friday Fun is Diva Marketing's virtual happy hour from cosmos to Jack to lemonade. A waiting for the weekend 'playground' time to be sophisticated-silly. Or sometimes just plain silly.
Play a game, read a great biz book and or listen to a few great biz ideas. BBF (best blog friends) have some awesome suggestions. The post is long because of the lists .. but girlfriend I know you can scroll pretty fast!
One For Three - play a game
When Lewis Green tagged me to play a new meme (a viral game where you get know a little bit more about your fav bloggers) I told him perhaps we should be playing jump rope. But that's rather difficult to do online so I'm telling you .. 8 Random Things About Me (yawning is allowed but no loud snoring).
Update: Steve Woodruff also wanted me to play tag with him. So Steve this is for you too!
1. I hate technology - It's what it can do that excites me
2. I'm getting addicted to My Face - Watch for interesting business applications as it matures
3. I love ice cream - It makes me happy. I don't know why it just does.
4. I love learning about and drinking wine - Have taken several courses and altho I enjoy a really nice bottle I love discovering great wines under $10
5. I love to travel - One day I'll have the $ and time to travel for fun and not business
6. I love the comedian Kathy Griffin - I can totally relate to the D List thing
7. I love jazz, music from the 40's and of course show tunes - Why? past boyfriend, my dad, theatre major
8. I love the ocean and I love watching storms on the ocean - Walks on the beach are calming, inspiring, and invigorating.
The rules are I get to tag 8 (random) people ..
Roxanne - maybe Rox will do a Barefoot on the Beach video (smile)
Two For Three - read a great biz book
Geoff Livingston found a creative use Facebook. He created an "email wiki" and invited some friends to help develop a list of 25+ must-read social media, marketing and PR books. This list was compiled by Chris Abraham, Toby Bloomberg, Eric Eggertson, Susan Getgood, Kami Huyse, Ike Pigott and of course Geoff Livingston. Thanks for the code Geoff!
