Really, it’s as easy as sending a tweet with #Gamefuelcarepackage and #sweepstakes. You don’t even have tag the GameFuel Twitter account. In less than a minute, you should receive a response with a link that you need to follow and fill in some information.

That’s it!

Here is my third ever tweet.

Yeah, that’s some riveting stuff there I tell you. For all of 2007, I posted 33 tweets, 23 of which were in my first month of use (June 2007).

Ask the Twitterverse and get a quick expert reply.  Follow along…

And the integration of Storify with the Tweetbot iOS client is a good match.

While searching for recommendations at Sam’s Delicatessen, I came across @ryankanno’s recommended dish, the tofu katsu.

So we ordered it. Yeah, pretty good for a vegetarian dish.

Then Monday. I’m in a training class with other former Kanno coworkers. Hmmm.

Then Tuesday. While in class, a scruffy guy walks by. It’s none other than @parkrat who I was introduced to by Mr. Kanno.

That’s three days, and three inferences to Ryan. Is it some kind of sign? Wonder what the rest of the week will bring?

It’s basically similar to Facebook and Twitter, combining elements from each and also implementing its own feature set. With the popularity of Twitter and Facebook, is there room for yet another social network? Surprisingly, yes.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve seen a recent disruption in the social media circles that coincides with the launch of Google+. I never thought any service could supplant Facebook and Twitter, and I’m not yet saying Google+ has, but it has definitely made an impact.

Being a Google service, people took notice with a flurry of signups and activity, but how does it differ from Facebook and Twitter? On Twitter, I’m following over 1000 users and my Timeline is constantly updating. I learned a long time ago that Twitter is NOT email and don’t try to read unread tweets – ain’t gonna work. But with this flood of tweets, finding the “good stuff” isn’t easy. I get personal stuff, business stuff, tips, sales, articles, you name it.

For me, Facebook is somewhat similar to Twitter though I follow much less users. I still “like” pages for businesses and organizations so I do get duplicate content from Twitter. There’s more person-to-person interactions on Facebook, mainly since I know the people I friended on Facebook.

Now here comes Google+. This is a fresh start, a clean slate, a blank piece of paper. Of course, you see the same early adopters you met on other social networks. But with Google+ circles, you have a better way of managing people, personas, and content. And like Facebook, the use of real names dictates more civil behavior online (in general). With these new mechanics in play, users can more easily see and acknowledge the shortcomings of Facebook and Twitter.

So really, what has Google+ done? It’s caused a rift, a pause, and it’s made you think. Google has finally broken the hold of Facebook and Twitter and created a fissure that gives opportunities to Google+ or the next big thing.

I’ve mentioned our kitchen and bathroom renovation here and there, and I’ve already gotten several suggestions and recommendations.

From Namesake, I got feedback about flooring for kitchens.  On Facebook, I got a message from a classmate who’s a talented architect who offered some suggestions.

Most recently, this tweet fed into my Facebook timeline, and I was told to check with 808 Stone.

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/geewhy/status/75451784939831296″]

No, 808 Stone doesn’t have soapstone (which I think is rare in Hawaii), but they do fabricate and install granite countertops.  No promises, but looking good so far working with this family owned business.  Keeping fingers crossed…

Short text accompanied by a image. Yep, not quality stuff by any means. Time’s been short devoting my focus to things like KraftMaid, learning about counter tops, flooring, and much more. Here’s a pic visiting Bella Pietra.

See the spaces between the @ symbol and Twitter names? But in the NBA you learn and adjust quickly, and LeBron did so in his next tweet fixing his @ fails. Go Heat!
