Dreams Do Come True: I Met Dave Matthews!!!

becky and dave

This past Wednesday evening, April 13th, 2011, something happened. Something big. HUGE. I met DAVE MATTHEWS! That’s right, THE Dave Matthews. Lead singer of Dave Matthews Band. The man. The legend. The moment I had dreamed of for so long actually happened. Of course, in Becky fashion, the whole experience was not without craziness. Here’s the whole story:

HOW TO: Use Twitter Lists in 5 Different Ways

lists

Tweet When the Twitter lists feature was introduced, I was super-excited.  Before that day, I would use the search feature and save a column on Hootsuite. (Actually, I was using Tweetdeck at the time, but that’s a useless bit of info.) So anyway, Twitter lists were introduced last year, and are limited to 500 twitter…

GetGlue: The Foursquare for Couch Potatoes

GetGlue_tom_top5

Tweet I will admit it, I have become addicted to GetGlue.  If you’ve never heard of it, the site can best be described as Foursquare for those that prefer to chill at home. And, lets face it, that’s pretty much where I am most of the time. With GetGlue, can check into TV shows and movies…

HOW TO: Turn Off Google Personalized Search

Tweet It was recently brought to my attention by @jselss that Google saves your web history and has been doing so for some time.  Now, they are also using this information to fine-tune any searches you do.  See Google’s explanation of Personalized Search below: I understand that Google is trying to make their search engine…

HOW TO: Use Refollow to Manage Your Followers on Twitter

Picture 10

Tweet There are a lot of different third-party applications that claim to make your Twitter experience even better.  One has certainly come in more handy than others for me, and that is Refollow.  I have found with the more followers I get on Twitter, it becomes a lot more tedious to keep up.  Once I…

Who knows SEO & Google PR?

Tweet This site has been live for 4 months.  I use the All-in-One SEO Pack plugin on WordPress which I believe is working fairly well except for the fact that I still have a Google Page Rank of 0.  Can anyone explain why this may be? Also, it says I need to have a redirect…

Who wants to win a 2010 Camaro?

Tweet So I’m guessing no one who read my blog post won a laptop when Charter was giving away one a day this summer.  That’s OK, because their new sweepstakes is EVEN BETTER!  Now through November 26th, Charter Communications will be giving away a brand new 2010 Camaro 2SS!  You know, the most talked about,…

Knoyce…It Really is Better Than Just Nice.

Tweet I recently came across a new social networking site called Knoyce. The word Knoyce is based on the word nice, but it implies that something is “better than just nice”. And that it is.  Knoyce is a combination of all the great things on all sorts of social media sites. On Knoyce you can: Create a customized…

Watch Out! Jessica Biel Can Damage Your Computer!

Tweet Look out celebrity stalkers!! McAfee released it’s annual list of “Most Dangerous” Celebs to Search. Who knew that celebs were so dangerous? I am kind of surprised that Britney Spears didn’t make the top 10. She came in at #12. What is also interesting is that Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox are tied for…

My Life Without Facebook Games

Tweet Before my computer crisis a few weeks ago, I was a loyal Facebook game player.  My games of choice were Yoville, Farmville and Mob Wars.  I dabbled in Parking Wars, Smarty Pants and My City.  I would go onto Facebook with the primary goal of tending to my crops and working in the Yoville…

Ever Heard of a QLOG? Me Either. Until Amy Africa Started One.

Tweet I found this new blog, no wait, QLOG (99% Queries and Quintessentials & 1% Quibblings) by Amy Africa at http://www.amyafrica.com. QLOG is pronounced CLOG, and besides my love of the shoe years ago (they were comfy!), I wish I had thought of this idea myself, but I’m not surprised that someone like Amy beat me…

I Really *HEART* Entrecard

Tweet It is official.  I am a “drop-a-holic”.  I discovered EntreCard, a tool for bloggers to discover new blogs and get their blog seen as well.  I’ve only been a member for a few days, but I’m already hooked.  While skepticals may say that this will increase your bounce rate while other “drop-a-holics” just visit…
