As much as it seems somewhat ridiculous after all these years (to some, not me)... I say hey, why not show a little gratitude on this good Friday, simply because, it is, a good Friday? I've grown to re-dig the whole notion of thanking our new followers n' friends. I'll even thank some old dear ones, each and every Friday (i'll even risk a day or two in twitter prison to do so)...

I've added a little spin to this and extra day, thanking my most engaging(est) interactors the following day on oh good gracious, not good... "Grat-urday" - I get up, caffinate then sit to gather up and grab all those folks on the week's "connect" listing... (I settled on grat-urday as an "own invention", it was an independent thought, but most certainly I know it's NOT a unique notion, nor an original undertaking - in all fairness, and for creative-commons copyrighting purposes, it was as much a guttural reactions to my disdain for cute n' cuddly cats and kittens).

Grat-urday has proven to be an even more risky-business; the folks in logarithmics-gymnaticlike-department like to shake their fists at my thanking people who may not be my followers. I grit my teeth and carry-on, sally forth and charge up the mountain of grateful-goofballed-goodliness, all the same.

AND... here's a whole-hearted key to all this. Regardless of how pat-silly, contrived or alteriorly-motivated it appears to be; undertake these tasks with a genuine-osity in your heart! Breath in once or twice AND fear not to be seriously gratuitously goofy when going about the task of thanking your new friends for following along and/or interacting with even the remotest of seeming interest in what you just said... Be happily thankful for each new-old buddy a pals and even our oh-so-serious business connections.

If done properly, well then you've just sealed a bit of your own friendly-fate. You've assigned two days of these seven were, for even just the mere minutes it takes to undertake... you've put some real thoughtful effort towards that most contagious of wonderful human... is it an emotion (?) - genuine gratitude... goes along way and is an extra-essential part of being well... social! - Happy Follow Friday, and we'll see you tomorrow at the Grat-urday picnic... good folks! :-)

Love the tips a Social Goofball of which I qualify. I am sarcastically goofy and randomly chaotic all at once. And, I am like that 7 days a week and not just Grat-ur-day. I enjoyed reading your worthy prose my friend as you did what you always do which is to make valuable points. If it weren't for you, I'm not sure I could make it through a day on social media.

I just read your blurb off to the side. I noticed something about (massive) fortunes being made because of a blog? Send me a private message and explain how that works because I keep threatening to create a Blog and haven't done so, mainly because I'm quite sure how. Hey, now there is a topic for your blog....how to build a blog. What do you think?

All and all, great job per usual. I understand you are NOT a blogger (whatever that is really) but I certainly would like to know how to build one and find this vast array of wealth you desribe

Ladies & Gentlemen, the indubitable (and wonderful) Steven Krohn. If you happen to bump into him out there, lickity-quickly, like, friend, connect, follow and or otherwise rope him into your networks; he'll comply whole heartedly and likely become one of your favorite folks out (as he is mine!) :)

As for massive fortunes? Steven... I think you know where to find yours (as for piles of cash)... As you say, let's take that one offline!

Happy FF... You'll be hearing from me again, tomorrow!

Ditto in all of the above! Love the SOC paragraph but I could never finish Faulkner. I'm Sooooo glad to hear I'm not an idiot for thanking my followers & picking some people out for blurbs & SO's & thanking them for the SO & throwing in a dumb wink & smile in there & asking others to #followtheseguys & going to my translator app, crappy, but I get some things right like how to say hello in a bunch of languages, Turkish merhaba is my favorite, & finding out the hard way they don't speak Portuguese in Venezuela & translating some of their tweets & sticking in a, sorry I butchered your language, & blame -it -on- my-translator-app &
how I thank them when I hit 2500or 3000 & saying I can remember when I had 10 & that I made my followers the old fashioned way, one at a time & no I don't want to click on your site to get 10000 followers & being excited about my first Twitter phone call person even if he is a little strange, not in a creepy way but a little developmentally disabled kind of way so it is kinda sweet & being on some guy's list of great ladies he SO'a to on Fridays & finding a few people finally to have a conversation with & that's so exciting cause one is from London & one is from Australia & we have the same wit & thinking it's cool that I'm officially in someone's # group & after being depressed & off Twitter for a few days I come back & read nice tweets & wonder why I left at all because Twitter people are friendly, except when they're not & that's scary, & getting a kink in my neck cause I lay down to check Twitter & forget to get in a decent position & finding a couple guys who validate my Twitter goofiness & will probably say who the fuck is this girl & how many more times can she write "&" so ok, that's me buh bye

    (as of October 24th 2013... this needs a bit of updating...)

    I am NOT a so-called blogger, nor do aspire to the fame and (massive) fortunes that seems to follow "the blogger's blogggers" these days... please see: about this, for more on that...

    All I ask is that IF you like the notions presented here, follow me on Twitter to be alerted to those odd times when I get around to committing to more of these... notions.

    ...so, I am NOT a blogger, I am simply a veteran* social media & digital business professional; With over 25 years experience in blah, blah... demonstrated blah success, implementing, blah, blah, blah... innovative ideas from, blah... start-up through to blah... projects for established Fortune 500 companies. 

    Comprehensive idea-generation ...blah, blah, blah problem solving skills with blah, blah, blah, blah... blah experience in a wide variety of markets.

    I do like to talk, even more, I like to think up, develop and implement, solutions. SO, lets talk :-)
