Just read on Mashable: gmail and gtalk finally came out with better emoticons! I’m not big on using emoticons, but every once in a while I’ll throw in a heart, or a smiley face. But they were ugly before. Now they’ll be better when I do decide to use them!! Is it weird that I’m excited over this??
I think I was on Mashable, or ReadWriteWeb? Anyways, I came across Zenbe and Mint. Zenbe is an aggregator and I was so excited to see that it had gmail, Yahoo, Twitter and Facebook. I signed up immediately. Strike one, my Yahoo account is not supported because I don’t have the premium version of the Yahoo email. Strike two, it is very slow and when you scroll up and down in the Facebook status update section, the pictures seem static. It takes them forever to catch up to the updates. So when I’m looking and I see a picture of Jose Amador, I expect his status update to be next to it. But no, it’s Chris Decatur’s. Annoying.
Now onto Mint. Not too much to complain about here, because I didn’t get very far on the website. My bank isn’t supported on this website!!!!! So sad.
This has been a weird day. Normally I feel very tech savvy, and up to date with web 2.0..but, Monique and I couldn’t figure out how to analyze GoogleAdWords for a campaign at dt for the life of us, lastfm.com confused me and now I’m disappointed in Zenbe and Mint. Someone give me a turnaround here.

Me? I work at a boutique hotel and also intern at a web design firm in San Diego, CA. I’ve become extremely interested in social media [blogging, twitter, digg, mixx, and all of the other millions of social networking sites out there] and think that everyone (for business or personal reaons) can benefit from dabbling a little bit here and there in the crazy world of social media.
My blog won’t always be about social media and the like. I plan on including my other interests in my posts also. You’ll have to stay tuned to find out more.
