   Twitter and Money

   How many of you twitter? Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? It is a great way just to let people know what you are doing. I have a twitter page, http://www.twitter.com/iowadawg and you are welcome to become one of my followers.

   Now there is a new service that can help you monetize your twitter profile! Now you can sell advertising space on your twitter profile and actually make a few bucks. TwittAd was formed to give Twitter users and advertisers the opportunity to meet for product placement & website promotion on a Twitter user profile. Our goal is to not fill Twitter with ugly & obnoxious advertisements. We give advertisers templates and ideas to help keep the integrity of Twitter background images.

   I signed up last night and will see what happens. The sign up process is fast and you can enter in how much you want to charge advertisers to be on your profile page. I don’t see making a fortune, but hey, a few bucks here and there is nice to get. Try it if you have a twitter account.

   We are gearing up for the big football game. The Iowa Hawkeyes are in Pittsburgh to play (and beat) Pittsburgh today. Going to be televised so now you know where the wife and I will be. Starting in fact a a few more minutes. Hawkeyes in general look good so far this year, and they have won their first 3 games. We want to see them get back into the top 25 and gain more national recognition.

   Well, our grandson has a new pet as of this morning. A baby snapping turtle! Wonder how long his mother will allow him to have it before telling him to release back where he found it.

   Last night I was on ebay, checking out the coins and collectibles category for silver state quarters. I really should not have been there! Started bidding on several auctions for slabbed silver state quarters and won too many! Now have on the way some great PR70 graded silver quarters for Hawaii, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah, plus several other PR70 slabbed coins I saw that I liked.

   And how is your day progressing! Feel free to comment here….
