Thank you for being my twitter friend!

I am not a numbers gal when it comes to measuring the quality of relationships because every person matters and every relationship is important to me, but catching the moment I hit 4,000 twitter followers was a trip!

That’s almost as many people as there were growing up in Shelburne, Vermont.  In the years since I’ve been gone from my hometown, Shelburne has grown but that still quite a measuring stick!

I am looking forward to more interaction with each and every one of you!

Dear friends, clients and anyone looking for interactiveAmy,

I am on vacation until May 10th! I will be unplugging in Israel, where I will be celebrating my brother’s wedding with family and friends, Mazel tov Josh & Sivan!

You might see me pop on and off twitter, facebook, or LinkedIn, but only for fun and not very often…! Do you know how much it costs to access iPhone data abroad? Probably more than my plane ticket, and if ever I needed an excuse to stay off line, an astronomical phone bill will keep temptation away! But of course feel free to say “Shalom” if you see me online! I’m sure I’ll have plenty of adventures to report!

The past 14 months have been action packed ~ launching a business, working around the clock and networking up a storm. At last count I think I’ve sent over 10,000 tweets for clients… in addition to my own! No wonder I have a million conversations running through my head. Many people who meet me comment on my energy and passion, and that is also a huge reason people choose to work with me. Therefore it is my professional obligation to remain the interactiveAmy you know and love, and to better serve you, I need to recharge!

Until May 10th, I leave you with a classic, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RHTiXvELNg! I am Go-Go’ing on Vacation! (PS – Love the 80′s hair & outfits!)

Do you have any recharge secrets to share, and or favorite vacation spots for me to check out on my next trip?  It’s never too soon to start planning my next getaway!

Talk soon,

Amy

This morning I posted a status update on my interactiveAmy’s Facebook Fan Page, it was business as usual.

This afternoon I came back to see the following:

I "Like" interactiveAmy!

Do you notice anything different?

You no longer have the option to become a “Fan!” Facebook today changed Pages from “Fan” to “Like.”

They explained, “We believe this change offers you a more light-weight and standard way to connect with people, things and topics in which you are interested.”

So what does that really mean?

Do you "Like" me or "Like me, Like me?"

When you click “Like” on a Page, you are making a connection to that Page. The Page will be displayed in your profile, and in turn, you will be displayed on the Page as a person who likes that Page. The Page will also be able to post content into your News Feed.

According to wikipedia, a fan, sometimes also called aficionado or supporter, is a person with an intense, occasionally overwhelming liking and enthusiasm for something.  Hmmm, what’s so heavy about that?!

To learn more about the changes to Facebook Pages, you can visit the Facebook help center.

I hope this new light-weight language won’t stop you from “Liking” me!
