Mom's Gadgets

Are you computer savvy? Do you Facebook, Twitter, or blog? Recently I found a new site that manages everything you do online. Lijit provides a powerful search for publishers and individuals. When visitors to site click through Lijit’s search bar it finds content within that particular site and promotes to keep readers at your site longer. This is beneficial for both you and the reader. They also offer a place where you can pay to advertise your site to other Lijit users.

The hope for publishers it that this tool will capture more page views and increase readership on a particular site. The people behind the development of Lijit have tripled their network and doubled it average publisher size and provided excellent value back to the consumer. So if you would like your Facebook, your Twitter, and your blog posts available all at the click of a button for your readers, this is a very handy tool to have.

Almost every week, someone is sending me an invite to join some social network. I’m not real active on many sites but I do like chatting on good old fashioned Instant Messenger (when I remember to turn it on) and love, love, love Twitter. I have Facebook, but not on there too much.

In the past, I’ve always used Miranda to log in to the IM’s because I really can’t stand having multiple IMs open and have you noticed how bloated they all are?

Today, I found Digsby which has all the most common social networks, emails and instant messengers I use in one application. Am going to check it out. If this pans out it might be one way to keep the mess out of my social networking efforts. Keeping fingers crossed.

Those of you who know me, know that I hang out regularly on Twitter. It’s fun and really doesn’t take that much time - as long as you are careful. But anyhow that’s beside the point. Recently hubs told me about a hilarious tweet he saw.

He doesn’t know (unfortunately) who wrote that or remembers which is a shame. And I truly apologize if this is your tweet. Just realize that you have given me (and hubs) a much needed and good laugh for the day. That’s a good thing because life gets way too serious sometimes.

Anyhow, this is what the Tweet said,

“I’m so tired. I can’t wait to crash on the plane” 

OK, ok, it’s not very funny if something like that actually happens and we certainly don’t wish it upon anybody, it’s just interesting what we say sometimes especially when limited to 140 characters.

Heck I’ve said a few hilarious things myself when taken totally out of context. This is one of my oopsies…

“I’d love to have another 22incher on my desk” 

That was in response to a conversation about computer monitors, how many we all had and how big they were . Have you seen or tweeted something hilarious?
