Attn: MP on HOTD posts, Twitter & Facebook - Friday, April 02, 2010 6:26 AM
Hey Gang,
 
I must apologize for my lack of HOTD entries....
It's not that I'm not enjoying any new music, films and TV lately...of course I am...as always, I am knee-deep in constant media enjoyment and inspiration... 
 
The lack of posts here are really more due to my frequent (if not daily) posts via Twitter and Facebook.
 
When I began posting my Hero Of The Day posts in The Forum almost a decade ago, there was not "social networking" outlets like we have today....
 
So as I have begun to utilize things like Twitter and Facebook more and more, I find myself "blogging" here less and less....(however, I am still very active in my viewing, my responses and my overall participation on The Forum in daily threads...)
 
So, it's not to say I may not still occasionally post here in the HOTD section of the site....however, for more consistant posts of music I'm enjoying, concerts I'm seeing and films and TV shows I'm watching and digging, I suggest keep up with my posts on Twitter and Facebook.....

I just hope we're never completely forgotten. Don't let FB and Twitter kill MP.com!

Thanks Mike, I'll try to keep up with all of these sites.  Does anyone know if the facebook link is correct?  Its not working for me for some reason.

I check out here and Twitter.  That works for me.   I am more of a casual observer of MP's goings on (from a sociological and music history / appreciation standpoint), and a fan of the music primarily.  No one deserves too much of my attention.     ...I wouldn't want too much of my attention actually.

Thanks!  I don't have a Facebook account so I guess that's why then.  Looks like I may actually have to make the plunge.  I know, I know, welcome to 2001.

Thanks for the heads up Mike

I do appreciate your openess on your life, but maybe sharing with all public what what Marlene posts on your wall is a bit private, dont you think? Well, at the end of the day...that's what Facebook is for, isn't? :P

Off-topic: Does anyone knows if the San Antonio (Maiden/DT) date has sold out?

Mike should copy what Steve Vai has done on his forum and that is to have a page which is a thread of all his tweets.

Maybe using the RSS feed from Twitter, like (I think) they did on the MP Prog Blog here...
It would be really cool to have something like that.

I must also mention that I use my Facebook mainly for "real" friends and family...


+100

I'd say that's a very wise choice. I am kind of bugged by how people will "friend" people they don't even personally know. A good 100 or more "friends" on my brother's Facebook, he doesn't even know them in real life!
