SuperPost Sunday – Weekly Roundup #16

February 6th, 2011 43 Comments

Hello My Lovelies,

Well it seems my SuperPost has a little bit of competition today with the Super Bowl XLV, so I will bow out gracefully and pretend that the 200 million people that usually read this series are otherwise occupied watching the Steelers and Packers (as well as their cheerleaders) fight for the trophy of trophies.

May the best team win.

Moving on…

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.

As for me…I’ve had better weeks. But hey, such is life.

Violins won’t be necessary. I’m still as giddy and sarcastic as any teenage school girl. Well, maybe like the older sister of a teen age school girl, cause let’s face it – I’d be pretty balsy to try and convince you all that I’m 16 ;).

But on the bright side, my week in the blogosphere has been just as pleasant as always.

Well, Looky Here…It Seems that I’m a Badass!

Yup, that’s what it looks like.

This here is a great big shout out to Diana Adams from the Rebels Network and Adams Consulting Group as well as Amy D. Howell from Howell Marketing Strategies for labeling me as one of Twitter’s Top 75 Badass Women :D.

Okay, so that smiley is a bit on the geekish side but it kinda shows off my teeth. Plus, who cares? I’m a badass so I can be a little nerdy if I want to – so Ha!

In all seriousness though, some fabulous ladies are on that list, including Christina Kingston, Shelly Kramer, Erika Napoletano, Anne Deeter Gallaher, Marjorie Clayman, Kat Jaibur and 68 other badass gals, so make sure to get to know a few of them if you don’t already.

Oh, It Was Broughten!

I wanted to say a quick but HUGE thank you to all of you who shared your valuable pennies on my new series Bring IT! this week. I learned a lot about many of you.

I was pleased as hell with the level of engagement, which makes me even more excited for round 2 this coming Wednesday :).

If you didn’t get a chance to tell us what you reveal of yourself online and how much you tell your readers about you, then by all means – hit the comments and spill your guts!

Publicity at it’s Finest or Worst?

In other news, well actually – in all the news – it’s been about Egypt this week. Oh, plus a little Kenneth Cole.

Now I’m sure you’ve all heard by now of that infamous Tweet that’s made it’s way into every other PR blog and post.

If you ask me, it was in poor taste. But I’m not gonna’ get into the nitty-gritty details here but feel free to share your thoughts on that.

If you haven’t been following up, then I suggest you read any one of these good articles – including the comments.

In Other Blog News…

Once you’re all done here make sure to stop by Danny Brown’s house (not the one where he actually lives please) today for his inaugural episode of Sunday Brunch. Seriously guys, you don’t want to miss Danny’s insight on Social Media Policy, especially with that lady-killer accent of his ;).

On another note, my good friend Gini Dietrich needs your help finding a new name for her Top 5 Stories of the Week series. Gini was actually the one who helped me decide on SuperPost Sunday and I have every intention of going over there and sharing a few of my witty and wacky pennies with her.

Okay, phew…that’s it!

So…
