97.9 KICK-FM is now Tweeting! We recently launched our KICK-FM Twitter account, which joins our Facebook and Google Plus pages as ways that our friends can interact with us.
There's a funny thing about parents and technology. That being a majority of moms and dads are pretty tech unsavvy without the help of us internet-obsessed younger folk. And while parental struggles can be frustrating at times, their attempts to get in the techy loop are mostly just hilarious. This is particularly true with Facebook.
It happens to all of us. Every once in a while you find yourself piddling around, doing non-work activities while you're at work. Sometimes it's totally innocent, too. You intend to quickly check a news site to skim the latest headlines, and before you know it you've spent twenty minutes reading half-a-dozen stories. Or you need to see if a Facebook message has been responded to, and you get distracted for half an hour by all the new stuff that's appeared in your news feed since the last time you logged on.
Bombs going off at the Boston Marathon, two IED's (improvised explosive devices) found on the streets of Quincy, graffiti on a bathroom wall at a school in Camp Point that prompted police to search students' personal belongings.

So, I'm asking for one million Facebook likes for a very noble reason.
During our campaign to have get well cards sent to Brady Holder from Meredosia, we met a lady with a unique page on Facebook. Jennifer Roll started "A Simple Wish" to give families a location online to find support and hopefully eventually cures.
Is it just me or does it seem like the whole dang world revolves around Facebook? Other than the political rants, I enjoy Facebook. It's a convenient way to stay in touch with friends and family that I wouldn't normally see or talk to since I'm a loner. But, I can't say that I'm fond of the way that it now seems that the business community has gone hook, line and sinker to selling their soul for Facebook likes.
I bought a Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack yesterday. Trying to redeem the digital copy has been a real hassle. Anyone else fed up with having to create multiple online accounts for simple tasks?
Unless you're old enough to remember, this may not make a lot of sense. But, I've decided to treat Facebook like "Larry The Lobster". FYI - here's a video refresher of the original "Larry The Lobster" from the early days of SNL in the early 80's.
