Well, it has been a long week and I don’t have a lot of writing energy left. So, I will cheat a little bit and point to the blog post I wrote for work #ff #nhtd. It is similar to the Follow Friday posts that I often put up here.
In other news, I marked my 10,000th tweet this afternoon:
Tweeting away the moments that make up a dull day... And then one day you'll find, 10,000 tweets behind you.
If only it had been a dull day.

Every week, I look for different ways of creating my Follow Friday (#ff) list. This week, I decided to do it based on my top investments on Empire Avenue (#EAv). Empire Avenue is a social networking game. Think, buying and selling shares in people’s social media influence. So, today’s list is of the people whom I have large holdings in.
@Iddybud is an old friend from the world of political social media. I own a lot of shares in her, and they’ve been performing well, both in terms of price appreciation and dividends.
@BevanWhitfield is a friend from Second Life. Her stock is also showing good price appreciation and is returning decent dividends.
I met @davidbeckwith about the same time that I met @Iddybud. His stock has been climbing nicely on top of good dividends.
I believe I met @JRStratford at one of the Western Mass Podcamps. Again, nice growth and dividends.
@JohnFromCT and I have met through various social media events in Connecticut. While his stock price continues to grow, his dividends and price are currently fairly low. He may be a good investment for a long term buy.
I think I met @TheDudeDean through various blogging networks. Strong dividends. Still getting good price gains, but at nearly 94/share, he’s pretty expensive.
@mlmxpertholland is a person that I met through Empire Avenue. Solid growth and solid dividends. Has a QR Code as the avatar. Gives interesting investment advice. We’ll see how accurate it is.
Also from Western Mass is @LesleyLambert. I may have mentioned her in other #ff blog posts. She has a lot of interesting things to say, especially around new technology, like QR Codes, and how it relates to real estate.
So, that’s my #ff for this week. Are you on Empire Avenue? Who do you like? If not, who else are you following?

@HealthJusticeCT is an interesting group focused on health disparity issues. @LorenBonner is the producer for @CHCRadio She listened into the stream, as well as some of the #healthapps discussion in DC.
@LeeAase is the Director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media. @pfanderson is an longtime friend online. I believe we first met via Second Life and that she is involved with the Social Media Health Network along with Lee and myself.
@LudloweRehab retweeted when we came back from lunch, and I appreciate that. I haven’t been following them, but I’ll keep my eyes open for what they have to say.
I also want to shout out to @Jordanfenster who tweeted about our live streaming. Thanks, Jordan.
To end things off, I want to mention @jayparkinson who ended off the Weitzman Symposium. It was a great presentation.

For this week’s Follow Friday post, I have decided to play #ff roulette. Currently, I follow about 2900 different people on Twitter. Every week, I try to find some interesting way of highlighting some of the people I follow. Today, I’m just randomly picking some of the people who are tweeting as I write this post.
Starting off the list is @g4c. “Founded in 2004, Games for Change is the leading global advocate for supporting and making games for social impact” Years ago, I used to make it to the G4C conferences, but I’ve been too busy to go in recent years.
Next up is @criana. I’m not sure if I’ve ever met her face to face, but she’s from Connecticut and makes websites and I believe we met online through Connecticut related social media.
Third is @jcstearns. Josh is works for FreePress.org which is a great organization and Josh has a lot of important things to say about media.
Next is @sbc111. I’ve met @sbc111 at various social media events around Connecticut. He’s a good Microsoft oriented geek and an interesting guy.
I believe that I met @JRStratford through Podcamp Western Mass.
Another Connecticut person shows up in #ff Roulette, and that’s @MatthewBrowning. I’ve met him through various social media events, and he’s got a strong interest in health care social media.
Ending of the list for this week is @damfino11. He’s from Western Mass and I believe I met him at the Podcamp WesternMass.
That’s it for this week.

I had been planning on going to the Social Sushi Soiree, but it doesn’t start until 6:30, and I just don’t think I’ve got the energy for it. So, instead, I’ll do a quick shout out to some of the CT Tweetcrawl friends that I expect to be there. There is another Tweetup scheduled for mid June. Hopefully, I’ll have more energy for that one.
Meanwhile, more and more stuff is piling up for me to write about. Maybe I’ll get some writing done this weekend.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone.
