Social Media Housecleaning

Happy Monday! Late Monday at this point, but nonetheless. Another rainy day here, although the rest of the week promises to be pretty and springlike. I hope the meteorologists keep their word, because I'm tired of staying indoors!

The good thing about the unceasing rain the past day or so is that it's enabled me to get a lot of computer work done. I've spent much of the past weekend getting my social media ducks in a row, so to speak. I've been feeling a bit schizophrenic lately because of the multiple identies I have floating around in this world wide web, so I wanted to take the opportunity to clean up and consolidate. My old blog was created under my maiden name, so I've changed that. Mark and I will celebrate our three year anniversary in May, so I guess it's about time.

We also made the big decision over the weekend to approach our music, and particularly our music marketing, from a duo perspective. We've been doing this in "real life" for awhile now, so we thought it was probably time to transfer it to the web as well. We have a new website that we're really excited about, as well as all the other usual suspects: twitter, facebook, reverbnation, and yes, even though I didn't really want to, we have a very basic myspace page. Myspace drives me batty, and I really don't see the point, but as musicians I suppose we should at least have a presence there, however begrudgingly.

Even though there will inevitably be some crossover, this blog really isn't directly related to our music. This is just my way to keep track of interesting books, movies, albums, recipes, photography, and whatever else happens to catch my fancy. And also my way to interact with the vibrant, dynamic community of bloggers out there. So many amazing, inspiring folks!

So, I suppose now that my virtual spring cleaning is done, I'll have to tackle those pesky real world cobwebs lurking in the corners of my house now. Funny how you don't even seen them in the dark days of winter, and then one beam of sunshine, and oh dear, it looks like a haunted house!

Eat Sleep Tweet

Okay, so I'll admit I'm a bit spastic when it comes to twitter. Sometimes I will tweet compulsively throughout day, and then I'll go days on end without a single tweet. I really love Twitter, but I think the fact that I still don't have one of those fancy schmancy smart phones (I know, I'm like so 2007!) keeps me from consistently updating. I'm torn, because on the one hand, I thrive on communication, but on the other, since I'm usually glued to my laptop at home, sometimes it's nice to have a break from information overload when I'm out and about. I have a feeling I'll give in eventually, but in any event, I'm loving this Eat Sleep Tweet T-shirt!
