Let’s close the week out with a little quiz:

A. When you hear the term social media, you think:

  1. It should be followed by the term optimization.
  2. Greatest thing evah!
  3. I love Page Six!
  4. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

B. When you see things like ‘twitter’, ‘flickr’, ‘etsy’, ‘vlog’, ‘flagr’,and ‘dopplr’ you think…

  1. They’re all soooo 2008…I’m now beta testing things you’ll hear about sometime in 2010, if you’re lucky.
  2. I could not live without these things. Please don’t make me try.
  3. Where are all the vowels?
  4. When you make up words that aren’t really words, you just seem silly.

C. When I say RSS, you say…

  1. Meh.
  2. Yay!
  3. Umm…
  4. Stop.

Check your answers and count up your numbers.

If you or someone you love scored between 9 and 12, well then it’s time for some serious hands-on learnin’. Don’t be scared. It’s painless. And super easy.

It seems over the last months, we’ve gotten a lot of “friend requests” from people we haven’t seen since elementary school. And this makes us think that pretty much everyone is starting to get into this social media thing… and more importantly, a whole heck of a lot of people are starting to realize, it’s all kinda useful and fun. And we say, the more the merrier. In fact, we say, if you now use the word friend as a verb, then pull up a chair, we’ll show you a some more nifty things you’ll love.

Introducing:

Hands On Social Media!

Fun, FREE, practical gatherings of goodness to show you and yours a few new easy things to take up online. Each session will be hosted and led by kirtsy editors, kirtsy founders and kirtsy friends, who just want to get together to show you some new (and maybe not so new) cool things that will help make your online life easier, smarter and definitely more interesting.

After we held a few of these sessions earlier this year, we received a fleet of requests for more. So we’re back with 10 additional sessions in June — all sponsored by Microsoft Office Live.

Click here to see where we’ll be, and when.

If we’re coming to a city near you, please plan to join us! And bring your laptop if you have one!

Registration is now open! Click here for more information.
