I was having coffee with a friend recently and we were discussing funny things that we tweet and how we tend to tweet.  We are starting to see social media as part of everyday life for work, home, and even church.

How is social media changing what you do?

A creative team did this for a ladies event…i love it…

Yesterday I was nosing around the interwebs and came across Friendster on a social bookmarking tool…According to TechCrunch Founded in 2002, Friendster is one of the web’s older social networking services. Adults, 16 and up can join and connect with friends, family, school, groups, activities and interests. The site currently has over 50 million users.

I found this graph that shows current usage by country

And then this morning I discovered this little jewel

Let’s create a list in the comments of social sites that we don’t use anymore:

I got quite a few laughs from these cartoons.

What do you remember from Social Media in 2009?

-Phishing Scams on Twitter

-The lame ReTweet feature

-Twitter Spam…bleh…

What else can you remember?

Last night I had a dream that I was visited by the online ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet to come…

Unfortunately, social media and blogging was so new that the Marley brothers were asking me questions about whether there was an app they could use to update their statuses while in the afterlife…

The Ghost of Online Past…

The ghost  of the past took me to Christmas last year at my in-law’s house.

ME:”Don’t you have anything older than this?”

GCP:”I’m here to take you back to when you started building your online prescence”

I was shown how I sat for hours on my laptop while the rest of the family played cards, watched movies, and spent time together.

The Ghost of the Online Present…

The Ghost of the Online Present took me on a blog tour…We ended up on a post on Michael Hyatt’s blog about the perfect moment…but Michael’s blog was getting an overhaul and we couldn’t read any of the posts.

The Ghost of Online Yet-To-Come

This ghost was still in beta and had a lot of bugs.  He had no idea what to show me.  We ended up over at John Saddington’s blog and read “Personal Web and Technology Goals for 2010″

NOTE: I’m a changed man.  I’m leaving the laptop and the Blackberry at home tonight while we spend two nights at the in-laws.

Merry Christmas to you all.
