I posted your new give-away on twitter, I am already a subscriber.
Awesome things that you post. I am HOOKED! I can't wait to see the deals you post. The free blankets/ tumblers was what got me hooked, my first deal.
Do you find deals for kids clothes or stuff for me?

I like LinkIn & YouTube. I don't have a blog yet, but have considered it. This would be a great book to have! Thanks again.

Delores said...

I like YouTube. I have watched many videos on knitting to help me get better. Twitter is a close second!

Kristy said...

You must have read my mind. At least it was a light read...hee, hee. I've been contemplating starting a blog and trying to decide which one to use, Wordpress or Blogger. This would hopefully help me decide. I am currently completely addicted to Facebook and have a Myspace. I haven't ventured into the land of Twitter because I know that my with my addictive personality, my husband and children would never eat or have clean clothes again. I'm sure they'd miss me...or maybe not. Anyway, if I do start a blog, I've heard Twitter is a must so I might have to check it out. Either way, thank you so much!! Take care!

My favorite is definitely Stumble Upon, I love finding new websites and companies through it. Facebook is also essential and I'm new to twitter but once I get the hang of it, it may be a favorite.

Hi Carrie,

I love reading your blog, I bought my Entertainment Book for this year using cashbaq after you mentioned it. I've also signed up for some of the mystery shopping sites you've recommended.

I think my favorite Web 2.0 tools are Twitter and Facebook.

Thanks for the giveaways and the info on such great deals.

I am becoming addicted to facebook! This book sounds great! I have a family blog on blogger and a preschool blog on wordpress. I am having a difficult time figuring out the wordpress! Hopefully, this book would help.

Thanks!

I like YouTube.

RufflesAndFringe said...

Oh, I would really like to win because I am thinking very seriously about moving to Word Press.

My favorite is Twitter. It is so great to network with other bloggers. Most people I know in real life have no idea what it is that I do, so it is nice to connect with people who understand.

RG said...

Facebook is my favorite by far for keeping up with people in my life.

Lori said...

Thanks for the giveaway! I guess wordpress is what you are using now? I was wondering about that.

My favorite facebook, though I rarely find time.

Have a great week!
