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.
Wordless Wednesday

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?

Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 06/11/2011 - 19:18The dogs barked a lot last night, and I didn’t get much sleep. It has been a rainy day today, so I took it easy today. I did spend a bit of time online and so I’ll talk about a few different things that have been of interest.
One topic that has gotten a lot of attention recently is the eHarmony Video Bio of a young woman that likes cats. This has brought a great response by a guy that likes cheeseburgers. K LaMay’s Steamed Cheeseburgers has just opened up a new shop in Middletown, CT so I posted the cheeseburger video there.
Another topic today has been the Greenwich Mountain Lion. A mountain lion had been spotted in Greenwich CT. A Facebook page was set up for the mountain lion, and then came the sad news that it had been hit by a care in Milford, CT. Nonetheless, someone did suggest that the person who likes cats so much might be a good girl friend for the mountain lion.
I also spent a little time today playing in Empire Avenue. Essentially, it is a stock market game, where your earnings are based primarily on your social media activity. I’ve avoided it because I didn’t want it spamming up my Facebook wall, but it hasn’t been spammy, and it’s kind of interesting. Perhaps it will even bring a little more traffic to my site. Are you on Empire Avenue? If so, please consider buying stock in ahynes1. Also, please endorse my blog.
