Follow me on Twitter, WIN Prizes, Get a Clue!
I have noticed that my follower count (seen to the right) has been going up slowly this month. Would you like to help me with that? It’s really, really simple. All that you have to do is click the follower count button and “follow” me from there. If you are already logged into your Twitter account, you can add me @sukosaki.
I like following people on Twitter and getting links to neat stuff, entering contests and meeting new people. Typically, if a Twitter follower is NOT following me, I do NOT follow them. Also, if their account seems to have no “action” in a month or so, I unfollow them, because it is obvious they do not use the service.
I usually post about my blog, daily happenings, neat links to check out and contests that I have entered. If you want to know more about any of that, please give me a chance 
So, if you want to follow me and get to know me better, go ahead, I dare you Just kidding, I would be happy to follow you back!
Using Twitter to Find Blogging Jobs
Don’t forget that you can use Twitter for other things that just telling everyone you are in line at the local Subway.
Twitter has become some sort of monster in the recent year, but some people don’t realize that Twitter has a nice search function. Going to search.twitter.com, you can find out what others are talking about, get an answer to your WordPress theme question or even find blogging jobs.
It’s really that easy. You are just searching for key terms just like any other search engine. You can use the #hash tag if you want, but you do not have to. I use the search all the time to find writing jobs for bloggers that do not have enough time to keep up with projects. The pay is reasonable, usually, but I see the market getting more flooded by the day.
You can also see the top trending keywords “tweeted” about throughout the day. Twitter can really be a nice resource if you use it correctly. Give the search a try and don’t forget to follow me @sukosaki to keep track of my bathroom breaks
Craigslist.org Spammers Get Cut Off – For Now
I am going to post on Craigslist today and I notice something a little different this time on the posting screen. It appears, in an effort to kill spammers, Craigslist has added a “captcha” for users to click in order to reply to a posting.
Although I think this is a great idea in theory, I am amazed that the people at Craigslist really think bots are doing ALL the spamming. In various forums you can find people posting to pay other, humans, to post/reply on the craigslist website. Exactly, the folks might have been banned or otherwise, but they are willing to PAY people to post/reply on the popular classified website.
I got to thinking about what the ROI was on something like this, but then I thought, who cares, if people are willing to spend money on something like that, they HAVE to be making their money back 10x over.
So, I give the programmers at Craigslist a pat on the back for moving in the right direction, but I am not 100% convinced, it will solve the problem.
What do you think about the spammers on Craigslist?
Armani Exchange – Great Demin and Great Prices
While visiting the Armani Exchange website today, I came across some sweet deals in the denim department. The denim jeans they sell are sweet and I really like the painted boot cut jeans, new zenith boot cut and the hand sanded straight leg jeans.
One other thing that I noticed was a “Text AX contest” – to win a pair of denim every day for the moth of July by texting the keyword “DENIM2″ to ARMANI (276264). All you have to do is text text A|Xto the number posted above and you are entered! It is very simple and EVERYONE is texting these days, why not take it a step further and win something from texting? For more information about the contest, visit this link.
Not to mention the contest, cool denim jeans and awesome prices, but if you purchase a full price pair of jeans, in store OR online by 7/19/2009 you get $20 of your next purchase of $100 or more. All you have to do is make your next purchase before 8/15/09.
