By now, I think you know, I have a tour company. Yep, Felix is the name - Hollywood history is the game.
and his |
With each 'gotta' I would cringe. See, I'm basically an old fashioned, non-tech brained, single task kind of fellow. I mean, I walk and tell interesting stories for a living! It took breaking down a lot of resistance just to start this blog.
So I do facebook, and then I do a facebook page for the company and funny thing happens - I'm enjoying it! (Archie Bunker voice in my head, "aw jeez")
Then another funny thing happens. One day on my news feed I see that Actress and Comedienne Jennifer Coolidge has started a fan page. The first thing that came to mind was not how ridiculously talented and funny she is with her legion of spot on performances. No, the first thing that came to mind was that a few years ago I was briefly introduced to her when I was doing some work for a friend who has a marvelous gift/paper/boutique printer shop on Beverly Blvd. She came into the store and I found her to be lovely and kind. And with that memory I wanted to support her.
So I go to her page and hit the 'like' button at the top. Turns out that we were tied in our number of 'likes' that day, and I mentioned that I would race her in the contest of 'likes'. Of course she's killin' me, I mean, she's a beautiful, funny celebrity; I'm a history storyteller who posts cool pictures. But just like my first meeting with her she's lovely and kind in cyberspace too. And she wants to take my tour!
Now that I'm doing facebook, and Twitter, Yelp, youtube and linkedin, I'm having to admit, maybe this social media networking thing isn't so horrible after all. Maybe I'm a closet cyber guy. Psych!
So why don't you 'like' me here
And while you're at it go ahead and 'like' Jennifer here . She's gonna win our race anyway, and that's cool, she's a swell dame!
