Have you heard about Should But Don't?

I should mention the two newest additions to my life. No, I didn't have a kid or anything stupid like that. Jeff and I started Shouldn't But Do and Should But Don't as forums to admit all the things we're slightly guilty about liking...or not. It's fun for us and obviously entertaining some people out there: in three weeks we've had about 4,000 hits. Not bad, considering we only advertise it through Facebook and Twitter. Everyone's a marketer!

My favorite thing is to look through the stats and see how people stumbled upon it. Recently searched terms: "indie plaid wear," "how dare you show respect," "my friends have started treating me badly," and "TV affects brain." This should be an interesting project.

Surrendering

I lied. I'm surrendering to the Blogspot world. I've tried many times to establish a blog unsuccessfully of course, mainly because I have a tendency to reveal too much on the internet. Basically, who cares? However, after reading Chris Brogan's recent post about diving into social media, I realize that it's important to contribute to the dialogue more than microblogging nonsense and Facebook updates. As the future of PostAdvertising.com and my role there are uncertain, I want to keep creating some "noise" in the digital world. Let's see if anyone will listen.

While I haven't given much thought to the direction this blog will take, expect me to talk about music, advertising, social media, art, fashion, drinking, love, and trying to make it in this big, bad city. And, of course, random "webcomics" I create. I expect the purpose and personality will become clearer the more engaged I am.
