I’ll be honest. God has blessed me with some crazy-awesome friends. Hands down – I am friends with some of the most creative, and innovate people walking the Earth right now. Not only are they super talented – but they are using their God-given talent to do Kingdom work. I like that!

One of the best parts about having such a great group of friends; I”m always learning about really cool, new ways to do things that I am already doing – but better! One of my good friends, John, made a post on Church Crunch the other day titled – “Why I’m moving to Posterous and Leaving TwitPic (and everything else like it)”

My first thought after reading that post was;

“OH NO! Not another social media network to keep up with. No way!”

But then I looked into it a bit more, talked with John a bit more – and now I”m sold! It’s not another social media network to keep up with – in fact – it keeps up with the ones you already have!
If you consider yourself “in” to social media – this is a really, REALLY, cool website. In fact; website really isn’t the right word – it’s much more then that – it’s a portal for all of your social MEDIA content. In fact, the more I play around with it – the more amazed I am at what you can do with it, and how it integrates so smoothly with all of your social media networks. It’s simply awesome! If you like to share life – you should use Posterous!

I really enjoying sharing life with others. I love connecting with people. I believe God created us to glorify Him, and one of the main ways we do that is by being in a right relationship with Him, and with others. Connecting with others. I believe God put in each of us a desire to want to do just that. To connect with other people; to share life with others, etc…which is one reason I enjoy being “extremely relational”. I enjoy sharing life with other people – I like to share videos, pictures, status updates, twitt’s – life. Posterous makes it really easy for me to share my pictures, videos, etc using Twitter. It’s also very simple to upload media to all of your “networks” at once. In a nutshell – it’s great!

John did a great job of explaining what Posterous is and does, so I”m not going to retype what he already wrote, but you should read his post – now.
I’ll end by simply saying

“Posterous makes it REALLY easy to share life. If you enjoy sharing life through Social media – go sign up!”

Let me know what you think about Posterous. Do you use it? Have you tried it? Have you subscribed to my updates?

Cupcakes seem to be the “in” thing these days.  Everyone seems to be selling trendy cupcakes.  It’s all good because I like to eat said cupcakes.

In Austin this week I visited Hey Cupcake with John {aka – @human3rror} and his family – if you are ever in Austin you gotta go!

(I’m not sure who won – us, or the cupcakes!)

{p.s. – John’s daughter could be on Barney

Hey everyone! This is a new segment on my blog I”m calling “double popped.” At least once a week I will be doing a short interview like this one with fellow bloggers, twitters, etc. that you may {or may not} know, and putting it up here on my blog. My hope in doing this is that we can see that people really are “cooler then their avatars.”

Would you like to be on a “double popped” segment? Simply leave your twitter, or blog info, in the comment section of the site, and you could be contacted for the next “double popped!”
-enjoy.
