Eight new followers in 10 hours. That’s what the Oilpressure George Bump is worth, just so people know. Also, that’s more new followers in one day than the number of Tweets that I’ve posted since about November of last year. Take that for what it’s worth (here’s a hint: nothing).

Anyway, thanks for the mention, George. I’ll get around to blogging/Tweeting one of these days.

Thanks for the mention George. I would hesitate to describe myself as a marketing whizz. More along the lines of Marketing Research nerd, and the extent to which Good research informs Good marketing then I guess the connection is made.

AHHH Twitter… I also have converted to a “twitterhead”… And it is exactly that: a real time news feed… Unfortunately I follow more people than I should and end up missing all the good stuff, so living on Twitter becomes a requirement… SO A.D.D.icted! (Stress on the ADD)….

So, thanks for YET MORE people to follow…

Glad you saw the twitter light. I think it lends itself particularly well to IndyCar when done right.

Yes, if you follow me (@chiapet58), you will get some unexpected pics of random cupcakes and wedding cakes. Feel free to ignore them. I also bake and I can barely figure out how to use one account much less than separate my baking from IndyCar. Maybe I will combine them someday and make the ultimate IndyCar cake. I was dragged into tweeting kicking and screaming by George, but I tweeted a wedding cake I had done and it got retweeted all over the place. Kind of a fun experience….

Try following Dixon again. Seems he didn’t use it before the season but he like, Jimmie Johnson, is much more likable once you start following them on twitter.

I think one of my favorite Indy Car blogs has been commandeered and or hacked by some kind of social networking, mutual admiration society….

Good God! Has racing come to this?! Without even taking a deep breath I can name 59 things I would rather be doing than reading twits……………….grumble, grumble.

If I find out that A.J. Foyt twits you can just shoot me.

Agree completely… If not for the twitter Indycar family, I would have never gotten back into this… and I will be attending my first Indy 500 since 1981 in May 2012!
