I blog to keep a more personal connection with people who read and write. With things like Thunderclap, it's all about promo and sales--not very connecting at all. I've used it, and it was interesting.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-24468604711180047892015-08-03T07:02:41.810-06:002015-08-03T07:02:41.810-06:00Actually, I think it's a matter of why you blo...Actually, I think it's a matter of why you blog. Because really, no single social media platform directly helps us to sell books. <br /><br />I blog because I enjoy it, but now I've scaled back to three days a week because I'm trying to make time for other platforms, writing etc. :-)Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-45891341539858641852015-07-30T15:35:46.860-06:002015-07-30T15:35:46.860-06:00Oh, I am bogged down by blog fatigue right now.

In fact, I don't think I've missed two consecutive weeks like this without being on official hiatus in the past four years. *facepalm*<br /><br />I heard about Thunderclap a while back, but I haven't had anything buzz worthy to bother with. It seems like it's growing in popularity, though! :)Carrie Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540590799406170410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-82122736685861197522015-07-29T05:51:53.542-06:002015-07-29T05:51:53.542-06:00Ugh.

I'm not very intrepid with the money end of things. <br /><br />As for the voter thing, those can be fraught with massive problems. I work elections as a judge and at one point we had a huge loophole people were exploiting. I blew the whistle and the guy in charge shouted me down--said that never happened here in our fine city. But I had proof. For some reason they didn't have me work the elections for a couple of years. Seems kind of dicey.Heidi L.

So now, when I have to call into a business when I'm not happy about something, I really make the effort to be polite because I know how it's like to be on the other side!

It can get tiresome blogging all the time. Summer is slow on blogs and I think it's a good time to take breaks to refresh.

At least I think so.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-76648674936000765312015-07-27T05:53:58.344-06:002015-07-27T05:53:58.344-06:00I hope it wasn't too complicated to use.
