The New Child of Social Media
As much I don’t want to admit it, since I left corporate America, here is how my typical day looks:
7:00 am: Wake up.
7:01 am: Pick up my Blackberry and start looking at messages from the night before.
7:02 am: Brush my teeth and wash my face
*Yes it only takes me one minute to skim through all my email
7:10 am: Take my daily vitamin (which I ordered from Vitamin.com)
7:15 am: Get ready for my morning run.
8:00 am: Come home, shower and get dressed for my morning blogging session.
*Yes I blog for at least 3 – 4 hours every day
11:00 am: Digging Time. I like to read blog posts and digg my favorite blog posts on Digg.com.
11:30 am: Trading Time. Check out my stock portfolio looking at Yahoo Finance.
12:00 pm: Have lunch. Meanwhile check out some new music videos on YouTube and read my latest FeedBlitz email from Seth Godin.
1:00 pm: Instant message my friends about dinner and simultaneously go to OpenTable.com and reserve a table at the latest hot spot in San Francisco.
1:30 pm: Leave home and head to my Podcast interview session.
2:30 pm: Done with interview and attend board meeting for a non profit that I support.
We talk about using Facebook, MySpace, Going.com and Craiglists to promote our next fundraising event. On top of that, we decide to use eBay Giving Work to help us raise more funds.
3:30 pm: Need help on my website and post a job on elance.com.
4:00 pm: Check voicemail using callwave.com. (Yes – I don’t even need to listen to it.) Accept Facebook invitation using my Blackberry.
4:30 pm: Get ready for dinner & happy hour while emailing my virtual assistant (Sunday.com) to find me the best happy hour spot in San Francisco.
5:00 pm. Email the happy hour selection to my friends while uploading all my weekend pictures to Flickr to share with my friends.
5:30 pm: Schedule another entrepreneur meeting using meetup.com and hit the button on Aweber.com to schedule my Tuesday newsletter.
6:00 pm: Out the door and enjoy my evening.
Yes. It’s true. That is my typical day.
Social media is ingrained in my typical daily life. My life is totally made up of social media websites and services.
