The thumbs up!

First I would like to start off by saying that not posting on this blog for that long is depressing and a little pathetic. Really no reason for it but laziness but... it's true.

Anyways, I have been meeting people from random places and random times recently and I find it very interesting that before you even met the person they already know so much about you it's scary. At first I thought that it was a little creeperish (to creep someone, yes I make up words) but then I was thinking, it's not really creeping at all. You put the information out there for people to see why are you so surprised when they mimic your thumbs up in your picture?

For those who do not know me when I was in college I deeply emerged in the world of social media. I loved every little thing about it and got myself involved in it as much as I possibly could. After I graduated and I started working full time it has slowly slowed down to nothing and my image has really disappeared.

So as I hugely involved in the world of social media I inadvertently made myself my own little position. Most people make up a catch phrase or something fun like that but not me I have a distinct position that came about when I was away in Niagara Falls for a marketing competition. It is my thumbs up!

If you look at my twitter account or my WhyHire.Me account you will notice in my picture I have a thumbs up. I didn't know it then but it would start a trend that I never thought was possible. Now when I see people that I have never met before I get the random thumbs up instead of a wave or someone asks, "why the thumbs up?" Simple answer to that question.... Why not?
