You should now be ready to look at how to build your blog and this can be one of the hardest things you will do. If you follow my lead, I can save you a great deal of pain. In ways I was lucky when I started out, I had someone in California that was willing to work with me. He really had no time to do this, but after paying him about …
My 100th Twitter Follower

We all like to reach milestones I guess, save maybe our 100th birthday which is usually celebrated in a nursing home. Milestones are important points on the time-lines of our lives. We remember when we reach 16, 18, 21 years of age. We can remember our first bike, our first car ………. our first wife or husband! So …… in the grandest of traditions, I hereby announce my 100th Twitter Follower …… problem is I don’t know who he/she is. I usually write my post several days in advance and the post for the 100th Twitter Follower, is no different. I write, I wait. I write, I wait. I write, I wait ………..
We have a winner, yes, the 100th Twitter Follower to the Bloggers Market.com is …………. Wakooz ……… Wa-What ? Well, really the name is J.Sebastian from Montreal ……… I’m assuming Canada! He has 84,897 Followers and he follows 92,013 good folks on Twitter. WaKooz website looks like a social media homepage that you can customize to your hearts desire. Have at it Kids!
And the one that got away, (or something like that) ………..is, Kelly Fuller Pope of Social Media Optimization Services.net based, in what looks like Phoenix, Arizona. Why do I bother to mention her ? Well, she was Bloggers Market.com 101st Twitter Follower. I have always been curious about the ones in life that just got away or missed, as the case may be, like missing the lottery by one number, or being the 1 billion and 1st customer at McDonald’s, just missing that golden gift certificate.
Kelly is the CEO “Media Master & Consultant” of “Media Master” and they “specialize in helping corporations and small businesses use social media tools, sites and applications to increase their connection with customers and prospects and to increase their return on investment”.
As I have said many times before ……… Twitter Followers Are Good !
Punxsutawney Phil Hits The Skids, Takes Up Blogging

It has come to the attention of all those who are dependent on the services of Punxsutawney Phil, that PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has stepped in to end his tenure as the future forecaster of the nation’s weather, at least when it comes to six weeks of it.
A robotic stand-in is in the running for the six-week, sixty-five million dollar contract that Phil will have to fore-go, handing the economy one more lost job. Phil reached at his burrow, was reported to have made the comment to William Deeley the he “was treated better than the average child in Pennsylvania”
“It’s very ridiculous” said Deeley, president of The Groundhog Club. Negotiating contracts and Union concessions is not easy at this late hour. Phil was in the final preparations for his annual appearance which takes place on Tuesday February 2, 2010, when notified of the potential changes.
PETA concerned about Phil’s hibernation habits, made no mention of the loss of Phil’s Health Care Benefits that are part of his contract which is especially contentious at this time considering the present health care debate. Phil went on to say to this blogger when reached at his burrow at Gobbler’s Knob that “it does no good to be concerned about my hibernation if I can’t make the rent on the burrow or afford health care. And having held the same position for the last 120 years, I’m just a little too old to be making a “fresh start”.
It also was mentioned by Deeley that “I couldn’t talk to a robot and the robot couldn’t talk groundhogese“!
With Phil’s options limited, it is all but apparent that Phil will have to take up Blogging to cover his unexpected short-fall. You can reach phil at his website here.
