It’s the end of another year, and man did this one go by fast for me. I really wish there was a way to slow them down. I guess that’s good though. I’m enjoying life so much I don’t want it to pass by quickly, right? Shrugs…I dunno.

So, back to my question. How are you planning on spending New Years Eve? We’ve got big plans of a picnic in bed, champagne toast at midnight, and a marathon game of Little Big Planet.

25 People That I Love To Follow On Twitter

Categories: Technology/Internet

My most favorite app of the year has definitely been Twitter. The enormous reach it has across the internet is amazing. I’ve read news breaking stories on Twitter before the networks even pick them up. From the devastating tornado that wiped Parkersburg, Iowa off the map, to the first hand twitters of hostages being held in Mumbai India.

I’ve reconnected with long lost internet friends, and have made new internet friends along the way. I’ve even developed friendships with local Las Vegas/Henderson Nevada Twitter’ers.

Since my love for Twitter is huge, I thought I would give a shout out to the 25 people that I love to follow on Twitter with links so you can follow them too. I love to follow them for all different reasons, from great news sources, humorous tweets, thought-provoking tweets, and just fun to read tweets.

In no particular order:

I need to give a shout out to @tedmurphy who sparked this blog topic idea for me with his post about the 25 Social Media Peeps I am Watching in 2009. Thanks Ted, your post was great!

Who are your favorite people on Twitter? Oh and if you want to follow me @JustJulie

I got quite the surprise today when the UPS truck pulled up in front of my house. My mom sent us a Tastefully Simple gift box! I can’t wait until Michael gets home so we can make all this yummy goodness together!
