Facebook, LinkedIn, BlissfullyD, and Private Ads- Oh My!

So I used to think Facebook and Myspace were just for kids and *ahem* men featured on 'to catch a predator.' The jury is still out about Myspace. But I did it, I drank the Kool-aid and bowed to peer pressure, I joined Facebook.

Oh, stop laughing at me, I can see you! I love it, OK, I admit it. So, come find me. I love getting to know you better.

And shut up, I can hear you laughing at me because I took so long.

And be sure to join the Blissfully Domestic group Those of us who are neither Blissful nor Domestic are welcome!

I also joined LinkedIn and formed a LinkedIn group for BlissfullyD. Oh, stop, laughing, just go find me there, too.

Ok, speaking of BlissfullyDomestic, oh my gawsh, y'all are gonna be so pleased with what we are doing behind the scenes. I have chosen 12 of the most beautiful, smart, talented and wonderful women in the world to be editors of branches of BlissfullyD. We are working tirelessly behind the scenes with the wonderful Daisy Olsen to build a huge network of connected BD sites all branching off a main umbrella site. We have over 90 amazing women writing for the magazine and are constantly scouting for new talent and fresh voices. We will have all our well loved articles and we will add videos, forums, giveaways and book clubs to the network. {{SQUEE}} I am honored, excited, nervous and sleep deprived. We hope to relaunch around Labor Day. If you have any suggestions, visions, wants or desires for me about the magazine be sure to email me. I love the feedback and want to produce the best magazine for you.

I'll post the caption poll first thing in the morning. Mr. Smartypants is working late at his new. job. {hallelujah} So he will pick the finalists first thing, sound good? Great!

Love you, Alli

PS- I will be removing my BlogHer ads next week and presenting my media package. I will then open up bidding for 125x125 button ads on my side bar. *ahem* {whispers- PR 5, Technorati 380+, over 1K RSS subscribers}

You are adorable, that is all.

[Lisa@blessedwithgrace]

Wow, you are busy. I really wonder how you do it. No, really, I can't imagine managing all that you do. I know that it will all be very successful!

[TwentyFourAtHeart]

I joined Facebook one day and haven't looked at it since. I keep meaning to - there are just not enough hours in a day!
I'm having a contest this week! And there's a $50 prize!! Come by for a visit and enter!

To connect on LinkedIn, I need your email address or you can send me an invite from your LinkedIn profile (jennybeth at mindspring dot com).

I just joined your Facebook group and added you as a friend on FB.

Have a great day!

[Kim H.]

Ooh, ooh, will you be my friend on Facebook? Talk about feeling like you never want to be picked last, right? :)
I have a facebook and you know you're too old to be on facebook when your babysitter asks to be your friend! Bwahahahaha!

Oh and Alli, pop over to my place tomorrow. I have a little love for you! :)

[flickrlovr]

Wow, woman! You've been busy! Congratulations on the Blissfully Domestic expansion...phew! Makes me tired just thinking about it.

[maggie, dammit]

Wait, what? Removing your BlogHer ads? Why?

I'm sorry, you've probably explained this, I've been going through some stuff, I missed it. Forgive me.

Tell me about this, please?

[Mrs.D]

you should get on myspace! i looked for you on there, but alas, you weren't found.

[Jeanne]

Hi! I stumble upon your site and enjoy what I've read so far! I've been debating back and forth about joining Facebook. I did however join MySpace and don't use it very often.

[texasholly @ June Cleaver Nirvana]

I am loving Facebook. So glad to be a kool-aid pusher??? Is that wrong? I am so glad you are working on the advertising thing. I read that stumbled post this morning that was really really interesting.

[uncommonblonde]

Don't bother with MySpace, it's on the way out. Facebook is fun though and much better now that you are there :) Congrats on the new ventures, I know you'll be ridiculously successful!

[Mama Ofromance]

Oh my goodness, I found you blog! It is amazing, funny, and I shall be back. I'm new to this all, and will subsribe - not sure how to get the subscriptions though yet! lol Still trying to figure it all out. You're very witty. Thanks for having such an entertaining blog ;)

Bravo! I'll have to find you on LinkedIn.

Wishing you so much luck! Now, must continue my quest to get, "We're off to see the wizard," out of my head!

[sheri]

More Fussy - yay! I say you start doing webcam feeds too - what, you're too busy you say?? pish posh... :) We can start with you overhauling my closet for a FIGHT THE FRUMP webisode - i need the help.

[Heather @ Not a DIY Life]

i think I'm gonna have to give in to Facebook too. "All" my friends from seminary are on it and "waiting for me." *Snort*

I'll hook up with ya there too, once I take the plunge. Does the Kool-aid leave stains?

[chasingjoy]

I've been on Facebook a while (Melissa Hill Meredith - I sent you a friend request Fussy :) ). I go through phases where I visit everyday then don't go back for 2 weeks. I like the silly games.

I have MySpace too but only set that up to reconnect with a couple of people. Every time I visit MySpace I feel like I need a shower. LOL. There's just something so icky feeling about it to me. Yep, no matter how many changes they make they can't shake the whole predator feel for me!

[Don Mills Diva]

Good for you Alli - go build your internet empire girl!

[Colleen - Mommy Always Wins]

Yeah, it won't let me add you as a connection on LinkedIn, either (cuz apparently you're not in my network). But I did join your BD network, and maybe once I'm a member there it'll let me add you as a contact.

I think I need to write a post about how ANXIOUS all of this linking up and social networking makes me feel! I feel like I need to constantly check all 597 sites to make sure I'm not missing anything - AAAAAAHHHH!

[It All Started With A Kiss]

I don't do twitter (Whuuut? I KNOW!) but that Hitler video was fabulous. I am still laughing!

I have a love/hate relationship with FB. I love getting on there and seeing what everyone is up to and I waste waaaay too much time on there. But I really don't get all the hugs, pokes, gifts, etc and why oh WHY I have to send invitations to 20 people before I can see my stuff someone sent to me... It's sadly addictive.

I can't go look at your pretty page because I was told at work today teachers are not allowed to have facebook pages.
