Twitter Scratch Paper: What is it and how can I get it immediately?

I was recently driving, pondering the answers to life's important questions as I normally do when I drive, when I interrupted myself with a thought about Twitter: why don't many people proofread before they tweet?   And, for that matter, why don't they pause for a little bit -- just a few seconds even -- before making that tweet available to thousands or even millions of people?

Maybe some people need to go back to their writing roots, I thought.  Maybe they need scratch paper.  And who am I to deny something to people that they need?

I created Twitter Scratch Paper as a way for people to plan out their tweets before they send them.  People can keep the book wherever they do their best thinking.  Each page consists of two sets of 280 blanks just waiting to be filled in.

Maybe you're hesitant to get started on Twitter.  Then use this book and practice before you put yourself out there.

Maybe your best friend or your mom or a politician you know needs to stop impulsively subtweeting people.  Send that person this book.  In fact, as a human being, I think it's your obligation to help these people -- and to help the rest of us in the process.

You can order the book here:

Send me a tweet @greggagliardi and let me know what you think.

The Five Rules of Facebook -- Still!

Image
On July 28, 2009, I wrote about the five rules of Facebook.  A lot has changed since then.  For example, we only wore masks on Halloween or to try on Halloween costumes in 2009. Still, I don't think much has truly changed in regards to Facebook.  Here's the original column: Life has a lot of rules, which is good because they give rulers something to do besides measure things. In the summer, people follow such important rules as "No running around the pool," "No swimming in the ocean without a lifeguard" and "No accepting candy from a stranger unless the stranger says the candy is good."  I've been noticing, however, that there are a lot of rules people should be following when it comes to Facebook, the social networking site that helps its users to connect with the people that sat behind them in math class (it's about time, huh?).  Although there are probably hundreds of rules that Facebook users should follow, I have come up with just fi...

Theft with Consent

(Originally published in July of 2003) This column is long overdue.  To put it in library terms, which I guess I already did (but I'd like to elaborate), this column is like checking out a book in 1998 but not returning it until yesterday.  And by yesterday, I really mean tomorrow.  This analogy will only grow as time continues because yesterday and tomorrow are both relative terms.  I can't wait until the space creatures read this in the year 2577.  Maybe they will e-mail me when they do, just so I feel like my previous sentence came with a purpose. As far as my purpose, I'd like to address the issue of valet parking this week because, quite frankly, I think it's the worst system in the world.  If I was still on that library kick, I'd add that Dewey Decimal -- if that <i>is</i> his real name -- would be laughing in his grave.  Now I understand that this is a "fancy" way to park because someone is doing the parking for you, and anyti...

Adam Levine's acne

I have not been using the blog portion of ProgressiveRevelations.com because most of my thoughts have either been put into columns, summarized into tweets or stored away somewhere in my head, only to be found sometime in the future and tweeted (or thrown out). That said, can I turn on TV without seeing the Proactiv commercials with Adam Levine? Maybe it's because I only watch a couple of channels -- and maybe these channels are owned by Adam Levine -- but you know what? I get it: Adam Levine had acne. He still has acne, he says. But thanks to Proactiv, he doesn't have acne. Or maybe he does but it's just that nobody cares. And maybe nobody ever cared. In 2014, I hope to see this commercial less. In the meantime, I'll be looking for an 'e' for Proactiv.
