Strong Social Media Aids our Strong Kids, Family and Community

I am very excited to witness our new Twitter followers that we have gained just within 3 days time. Social media is so convenient that it has been hard to imagine the world without it.

I created my first website when I was 12 and then continued to be competitive with a best friend of mine when I was 13; creating html and dealing with coding on a daily, hourly basis, solely for fun. We would see who could make the better frames with more links and things to do on their page. I still remember the sites that would have the click counters to borrow and we would see who had the more popular ideas.

A few years later unfortunately, I fell out of it. To this day I still wish that I had stuck with it. I do not see myself as being out of the look, but the web has become so much more useful in the past 10 years.

My first blog was created when I was 14, but it was just mindless babble and I stressed my need to be heard on sites like Teen Open Diary (which is no longer even runnning). Now I take pride in my newer blog: http://writingandwritten.blogspot.com/ , even though I do not update it as much as I should.

Anyway, The Pittsfield YMCA is proud to be up-keeping our social media through the use of facebook, twitter, and various online postings of events and our business directly. I have also personally become a huge fan of http://www.berkshirenonprofits.com since they are providing free publicity for all of our organizations in the county. Any company that is aiding non-profits deserves a thumbs-up in my book...I should also include idealist when I mention this too.

Have a good weekend all, keep posting, I will return on Monday.
