Saturday Six #382

This week’s set of questions focuses on one of those things we all love to hate: social media. You don’t have to be on Twitter, Facebook or any of the others to play.

So get your thinking caps on and thanks for stopping by!

Be sure to check back this week and click on the links of bloggers who play along in the comments below! It’s a great way to find blogs you may not have visited and keep the conversation going!

Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your blog… But don’t forget to leave a link to your blog so that everyone else can visit! Permission is not granted to copy the questions to message boards for the purpose of having members answer and play along there. Enjoy!

1. How many social media networks do you belong to at the moment? Oh, just one is enough. I'm on Facebook. If I joined more than that, it would just be too much work.

2. How many social media networks have you joined, then stopped using because you didn’t care for their setup or operation? None. I never had any interest in MySpace (which may not even exist any longer), and Twitter is pointless to me - I want room to say more than one sentence. I don't know any more than that.

3. Which social media network do you use the most? Just Facebook.

4. Take the quiz: Are You Facebook, MySpace or Twitter? I guess we will find out.

Ugh..

I am MySpace?! I disagree.

You are young ... or at least you feel like you are. You are drawn to musicians and artists. You are proud of who you are. Your quirks are an asset, and you flaunt them!

You are attracted to shiny things, and you aren't afraid of a little bling. You're stubborn enough to stick to what your like, even if falls out of fashion.

5. How do you feel about geotagging networks like FourSquare, where users can post their current locations: cool idea or security risk? I hadn't heard of it, but I suspect I lean more toward security risk than cool feature. I don't carry a cell phone half the time because I don't have this need to be found all the time. What in the blue peepin' hell would I need geotagging for?

6. If you know a company that you do a lot of business with is on a social network that you belong to, are you more likely to “friend” or “like” them? No. I will be your friend because I find something likeable in you, not where you work. Hey, you asked!

This feels similar to another meme, from not too long ago. Although that focussed more on friending and different aspects of social media. I know a lot of people are on Twitter and other sites, but I don't understand that.

I found out about Facebook in 2006, when there was something on 60 Minutes about it. Normally, I'm not much of a 60 Minutes person - usually I find it more like news - but I heard the piece on Facebook and joined it. Much like my blog, which is from August 2005, it has gotten me in some trouble (well, I've gotten me in trouble; Blogger and Facebook just made it a lot easier...), but it has given me a way to get in touch with people from my past, new friends, a network of people from all different places and cultures and a way to empty my overcrowded brain of all the crap I'm thinking about. So overall it has been pretty good. I still find it staggering that I know (mostly) 656 people.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
