I know we can't post our own blog addresses or other social media account info here on PS, but every once and a while I see someone out there in the blogosphere and wonder if she's a fellow PSer. Then it makes me wonder, what else DO PSers do on the Internet?
So . . .
Do you have a blog? If so, what do you blog about?
Do you tweet?
Do you post videos on YouTube? What about?
Do you have a presence on other social media sites?
Do you post on other forums?
I'll answer first . . .
I've had a couple of blogs over the years, but currently I keep a blog about reading and writing. I post a lot of fun things about readers and authors and reading tidbits, etc. Same for writing. I'm maintaining it as part of my current research on social media and student engagement.
My other blogs all had something to do with reading and writing in one way or another . . . book reviews, experimental long-distance book clubs, writing groups, that sort of thing. Most of them were collaborative.
I've only been tweeting for a short while but I really enjoy it. I follow some really interesting educators, writers, and lit agents, and I've learned a lot from them in a short time. I've also won two books! TWO FREE BOOKS! Penguin sent me a free book because they thought I posted a clever tweet, and I won another one from a library for responding to one of their tweets. So cool. They were both signed by the authors, too.
I post videos about reading skills on YouTube, for my students. This is another part of my research, and I've only published a few videos so far. They're very bad. I put up videos of my ring for a bit but that was before I knew it was against forum policy to link to them, so then I took them down.
I'm a senior reviewer on Tripadvisor because I review a lot from our travels. I also post a lot of restaurant reviews on Yelp and Opentable, and trip reports on the Fodors travel forums. I like to contribute to these sites because they really help me plan my own trips and restaurant outings.
I do Pinterest and Goodreads and Facebook, as well. Love Goodreads, but I've talked about that on here before. LOVE THAT SITE!
Geez. It really looks like a lot when I write it all out. This must be why I never watch any television anymore.
What do you put out there on the Internet?
