ChuckPalm.com

OK, so it’s been a while since I updated ChuckPalm.com with a new look, new features, or any other cool social media plugins for my Wordpress blog (yeah, I really dig Wordpress!) and well, finally, I gave in.  Not only have I update my blog to show our new push at IPN as a web broadcasting company, but I’ve added Foursquare and Social Media tracking on the side, so you can make snide comments about my online activities, just like we were real friends.

Today, I found a few new Facebook plugins, tools that make my blog more interactive with Facebook. You may already have added me as a Facebook friend, but if not, I won’t be upset. I know we’re really more like casual acquainteces rather than friends, but hey, I like to think of us if friends, if that doesn’t freak you out!

But I digress, the new features on my site are pretty obvious, if you look at the sidebar. But one cool new feature I got today, after the big Facebook announcement, was my very own “Like” button! (thanks AJ Batac)
I’ve always dug the simplicity of it, just click the little thumbs up, and hey, I just told the world that I dig it. Not in a life changing way, just enough for me to say, “you’re kinda ok in my book, and that didn’t really suck!”
Go ahead, click my “Like” button, you know you want to!

I’ve always been kind of afraid to put up a fan page for my business, since I am such a prominent part of it, it feels a bit disingenuous, like I’m saying to the world “Hey, I’m important enough to have my own Fan page, if you won’t be my friend, or I have too many already (5000 is the FB limit, sadly, no, I’m not there yet) but because I can’t keep up with all of you, let’s just keep this relationship casual for me at this point, less of a commitment on my part…but you’re welcome to follow my exploits as my fanboy”

Is that not what social media is all about? Don’t we all just crave a bit of acceptance? Won’t you be my friend, and tell me you like my post, pic, vid, or other fanboy link I subscribe to? I’ve now made it easier than ever for you, with all the cool plugins here to the right. If not, no biggie, maybe I’ll create that fan page after all.
