The Master has created a new page on our website which Diet Girl has been writing all afternoon- and hence has been the topic of the office for best part of the day.
Basically, from what I can gather, the page is written to help new and existing businesses to use networking sites and various other online resources to help optimise their website and promote themselves on the internet, but like with all things Diet Girl gets assigned- she can’t keep it simple!
I was watching her from my post behind the filing cabinet, for about an hour, but it was only when I sat on her desk and looked at the screen, I could see what the problem was.
You see, the idea was that she wrote a little about getting your business started on the various big websites, before detailing a few of the smaller, regional efforts, but what she had thought would be an easy job turned into a massive task, as it seems there’s a lot more to creating online profiles than there was a few years ago.
From looking at her screen, sure, some sites haven’t changed- such as Yahoo for example. Sign up for account, add your photo and minimal information, and that’s pretty much it. The same goes for Myspace, Digg and Bebo, although they seem to be flailing in the overwhelming success of Facebook, which is where Diet Girl is now, head in hands.
You see, half her problem is that she has to write down what she’s doing, as she’s doing it- which is a problem for her. I know that most female humans can multitask, but for her that usually just involves breathing and walking- today’s typing and writing is getting her nowhere.
Anyway, apart from watching Diet Girl, I’ve spent most of this afternoon, clicking my way through http://cheezburger.com/ one of the many sites featuring Lol Catz and Lol Dogz. In case you didn’t know what this is, and you happened to be an animal lover (which of course I hope you are!), ‘Lol’s are photos of pets where surfers are invited to create funny captions for them.
Like Diet Girl on Hot Or Not, I’m drawn to this like a moth to the flame. It’s free to register for an account, and then you can flick through the images and rate them as you please, maybe even add some captions for yourself- seriously, it’s too addictive!
Anyhow, Happy Man’s gone home, and The Master’s shaking my lead so I’d best go and take my place in the car.
Until next time kids!
