I'd like to talk about a vital situation…one which is shared quite often on the internet and with a lot of argument. This has an affect on everyone who partcipates in social networking on the internet and has significant ramifications (Ramifications! Wow!)…
Updating an individual's Facebook Wall and Twitter stream about what you're presently eating.
There. I spilled it.
I understand a good deal of you perusing this at this moment have to be saying ‘Damn…Kenny actually did it! He really brought it out in the open!’ This must be stated….plus it needs to be addressed.
I’ll get directly to the point. I support as well as encourage anyone on Social Websites to on a regular basis Facebook and Tweet what you're eating and drinking…just about constantly.
We already notice a whole lot of evidence of this on the net. Allow me to tell you precisely why it is so crucial.
We try to eat more than once each day. Many try to eat up to 5-6 times a day. A handful even 10-20! (damn you go…but save a little for the rest of us okay??) Consequently it’s undoubtedly something that everyone does a whole lot of. We also update our Wall on Facebook and Tweet frequently as well. Some far more than other folks I recognize and some update alot more than they eat.
So doesn’t it make sense to combine the two?
Ever since the dawning of time we've bragged about what we ate for dinner the evening before at the office the next day. “Man, I ate some rockin’ Tortellini last night and some insane buttery garlic bread!” With the help of Social Websites now we're now much more ‘immediate’ about it.
Real time. Real eating.
Really, when you think it over, I do think that’s what Social Media was devised for. Because it certainly ain’t any good for marketing! *wink*
I don’t know about some of you, but now I’m at the stage whereby I scan my Facebook and twitter for what folks are chomping down as well as what tasty beverages they’re enjoying. I’m over the Twitter posts on Forex, ramblings of Confucius and how much Kim Kardashian loves us and her high heels.
Speaking of Miss Kardashian (she’s not married right? I can’t keep up), I think she has to step-up her #tweetingwhatsheseating. I KNOW she eats! Right??
NOTE: We need to rename Twitter 'Twitter Kim Kardashian'. I presume all 200 Gazillion people follow her.
But I digress (been waiting to make use of that phrase for awhile…)
Give me a turkey and cheddar along with a Newcastle Brown Ale Tweet any day…and if at all possible with a photo.
Which brings me to my next point: Pictures with the updates rock! You want to see what everyone is enjoying, correct? That ought to be 50% of your updates whenever possible.
Now to the detractors, or what I call the ‘web food downers. (I haven’t thought of a better moniker than that so ideas are welcome in the comments below!)
Everyone knows who these people are. They will complain on the web regularly regarding the…well…updates on food.
‘If I read one more Tweet about what you ate for lunch I’m deleting you blah blah…’
Oh really? So you’re so offended by my lunch you gotta remove me? So inconvenienced that I’ve clogged up your stream (yuk!) that you’ll miss out on that important update on the hottest Twitter spamming software program?
Well get yourself a frickin’ life Mr. ‘You could make 197 grand on Twitter starting today because we all know you’re pounding down a Chipotle burrito and washing it down with a 44 ounce Coke with the $8.54 you actually earned!
So there you have it. Like the title states, I make no apologies for my #tweetingwhatimeating and I intend to even step it up a couple of notches, and on my personal blog set up page.
And it’s time that 1…everyone admit that we like to eat a lot more than we’ll ever fess up to and want absolutely everyone to see it frequently and 2…acknowledge that this is the Real reason Social Websites was created.
