True Love’s Beginning

True Love's Beginning

Hello everyone!  I will be moving blog addresses starting today and completely effective as of February 10th.  I will still be blogging and all that jazz, just moving to a domain with hosting other than wordpress. So if you have us on your blogroll or follow list, or you are one of the many designers we blog for the new address will be:  Once Upon a Second Life.   If you don’t already know, the two of us, He Got Swag (Brayden Thirdborn) and Miss Painfully Hip (DanicaSaerwen), have decided to join blogs.  Why?  Well to start the story,  Brayden and I met here in Second Life.  We fell in love with each other and got married in world.  Then we decided to take it into the real life and began the start of a great relationship.  Four years later, here we are, married in Real Life, and of course living together.  Some say they don’t believe in fairy tales.  Well I do.  Because I’m living my fairy tale here in Real Life and in Second Life with the same amazing man and family.  So we want to share our Second Life with you.  Our fashion, our joy, our happiness, our passions, our family and much much more.  We hope you will continue following us here now through this storybook.  We love you all, our friends, family, fans, and followers.

❤ Dani & Brayden

Dani Goes Social

SocialMEMESoooooo I’m so excited it’s time for a new challenge!  The oh so sweet and beautiful Strawberry Singh has posted yet another fun one!  It’s called Social Meme.  I’m pretty social media addicted also so this will be a fun one if I can just remember which one’s I have haha!  Now we can all awkwardly stalk each other!  And you better do this one too!  So here it goes….Get ready….. GO!

What was the first social network you joined using your SL Avatar?
I created a Flickr when I first created this avatar.  Let me go look for my join date.  This was before I started blogging but it appears to be July 2011.

Which social networks are you currently on using your SL Avatar?

Flickr
Facebook Page (I just created this one recently for my blog, so I use this one for my posts)
Facebook Profile (For posting to groups and games and chatting)
Twitter
Plurk
Google+ Profile (I’m still trying to figure this out)
Pinterest
Tumblr (I just share my favorite quotes there)
Second Life Profile

Which network is your favorite?
Probably Plurk and Flickr.  I love how random people are on Plurk and I’m addicted at looking at all the pretty pictures on Flickr.

Which network is your least favorite?
Probably Twitter because I’m still trying to figure it out.  It just seems so random but I’m getting the hang of it.  I don’t really get Google + either but I’m sure one day I’ll grasp it if I can find the time to spend on it lol.

Which network do you have the most amount of connections?
Well let me look.  I’m going to say probably Facebook and Flickr

How/Where do you usually read/use most of your networks?
I’d say probably on my laptop or my iPad.

What are your favorite social networking apps? (if applicable)
On my iPhone, probably I’d say Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr.  I also have a WordPress app I used too to manage my blog if I’m too lazy to get up lol.

What do you like most about social networking sites?
The blog updates, the random information and statuses everyone shares, and just being able to make friends and being social so I don’t become a hermit haha!

What do you like least about social networking sites?
I don’t really dislike much.  Probably just the negativity because I hate being down and sometimes it affects me too especially if it’s a good friend or if it affects a large crowd.  But for the most part I don’t let much bother me =D.  I’m a pretty happy random person most of the time.

Do you feel social networks are a good way to promote you/your brand/your work? 
It can be.  It also depends on how you display yourself or whether you use it to communicate or just spam stuff.  I think if you are personal with some and you interact, it makes it much better.

What is your main reason for using Social Networks?
Well I’ll be honest here and say it did start as JUST promoting, but I’ve developed a liking for interacting with everyone and looking at watching what’s going on.  It’s a way to yet keep in touch and not just spam anymore =D.  I love making new friends and learning more about them so I’m pretty much, I’d say, addicted to it haha.  I’d probably die if I didn’t have Plurk.  I’d have no entertainment =P.

Now that I’ve shared all my info, go share yours!  We can all be friends and learn new things =D!
