Do you like being listed?

This was nice to see. #1 on Hashable website for Canada.



I've been #1 on Wefollow and don't see the credibility to this. This site does not update in my opinion.

This is not a post to brag about being #1 on a website. I just wanted to highlight that so many of us using Social Networking tools such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin get carried away with followers, likes etc. I think the important thing to remember when using these online tools is about the relationships and conversations. It's about being transparent and true to yourself. The best person to me at this moment is exemplified by Gary Vaynerchuk or better known as @GaryVee He must be one of the busiest guys in the circuit of Social Media with speaking engagements, wine videos and selling books. But he still finds time to converse or dialogue with his fans. This is how you use Social Media by engaging with your audience.

The above pics are for Hashable and Wefollow It's nice to be recognized by websites but sometimes the validity can be misinterpreted. I'm not one about followers or accolades sure it's nice but truly engaging is more fun too me. Whatever comes of the engagement is just icing on top! Do you believe in Klout, Leaderboards etc.? What ever happen to just having real clout?

The Striking Truth with GSP of the UFC

So what's the Big Deal about this movie? It's a movie that follows two fighters Georges St-Pierre and dynamic MMA fighter David "The Crow" Loiseau over the past four years. The film juxtaposes their two careers with GSP's rise in the UFC and Loiseau personal challenges. It's a behind the scenes look into both their worlds and how they become figures in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. Here's a quick video snippet of what to expect.

Dentyne Fire or Ice ?

Do you like to "kiss" in private or public? That's the question Dentyne would like to have you answer. A recent survey by Dentyne states that 77% of Canadians like to kiss in public. It's seems to be the debate just prior to this Valentine's. I'm a private person and would rather "Kiss" in a more private setting. Public display of affection may work for some but most times it's just not right, in my honest opinion. I think the best way to think of a "Kiss" is to "Keep It Simple Stupid" wherever you kiss :-)

On that note, Dentyne has created a Facebook page Dentyne Facebook which allows you to send a complimentary pack of gum to your loved ones. Do it before they run out.

I'll be giving away some gum to some of my followers and readers. I want you to tweet the weirdest location you have kissed your partner and you'll receive a pack of FIRE or ICE gum courtesy of DentyneKissingDebate Use #DentyneKissingDebate in tag.

Now go ahead and Kiss or Tweet. To any of you that follow me on Twitter my favourite gum is Dentyne #ICE and I'm sure you know why :-)

Here's some tips on How to Kiss!

How To Kiss With Confidence on Howcast

Want to go for a coffee or beer? Hashable can help!

Social media apps such as Facebook and Twitter have made "meeting" new friends, business contacts so much easier. It's great to post connections via a Facebook wall post or a tweet but "Hashable" which is a App simplifies all of these connections. Hashable makes connecting so much easier. It's basically in a nutshell a way to track your interactions and connections via the website or the Iphone App. In consolidates all your connections from Twitter, email and phone.



Using the iphone app (Free in Itunes App store) you will be greeted with a simple interface with 3 different ways "Connect" 1. Introduction 2. Just Met Someone New 3. Connecting via an activity such as beer or coffee.



Let's say I was at a business conference or meeting and just met someone new. I just have to click "Just Met" enter their email or Twitter handle and "Voila" they automatically get dropped into my address book which can be synchronized with all your social network connections.



One of the features i like about the Hashable App is the ability to see your own connections and others in a streamline view via the web or the Iphone App. It gives me an ideal of who is connecting. This gives me an ideal of possible lead contacts or who might have similar interest to me. The integration with Twitter is the most attractive thing to me because I'm a heavy user of Twitter. Using various hashtags to connect via Hashable makes it seamless. The funny drawback is you might see that one person who goes for #beers every other day :-) on your streamline. Joking aside this App has made me more aware of my connections and encourages me to meet more people.

On a final note, Hashable has other features such as "Hash Credits" which gives you a point system for your connections. I like this idea because it's like "Gamification" which is very popular at the moment in Social Networks. By the way you can use Hashable with Foursquare shout outs too! I also like that Hashable sends you an email every several weeks to update your connections you've made. If you are a consumate connector this is one App you should start using. For more details on Hashable you can visit their site here Hashable

As an update, I just realized I'm 1st in Canada on the Hashable Leaderboard as of Feb. 10, 2011. It's been fun connecting with all of you :-)
