 Apparently it’s good to be liked. I’m new to this whole Facebook thing. But to those in the know, liking is the thing to do. So make you your way over to our Facebook page and like the monkey. All kinds of good things will happen. You’ll be the first to find out about all the great sales we have, unless we post them elsewhere before Facebook. You’ll be the first to find out about readings and other happenings at the store. That is if we don’t post it elsewhere first. Or the rumor mill catches wind of something and leaks it to the press. I guess my point is we will update a lot of new and cool things on our Facebook page. Assuming I can remember the password. It’s not my dog’s name.
This made me laugh. Not lol, more of a chuckle than a lol.
25 Things I learned From Opening a Bookstore
25. No matter how many books you’ve read in the past, you will feel woefully un-well read within a week of opening the store. You will also feel wise at having found such a good way to spend your days.

We’ve added two buttons to the bottom of every blog post here on LoGroNo:
- If you have a Facebook profile, you can click the Recommend button and your recommendation will show up as a one-liner on your Facebook status with a link to the blog post. Many blogs and news organizations are doing this now. For example, see this week’s MPR story on the St. Olaf memorial chime tower which, as of this writing, has 56 recommendations.
- If you use Twitter, you can more easily retweet a blog post. Clicking the retween button puts the blog post title in a Twitter text box, shortened with a Bit.ly URL link to the post.
And if you view the individual web page for a blog post (like for this one), you’ll see some additional options for ‘sharing’ the blog post via email and other social media services.
Doing this helps spread the word about a blog post. And we appreciate it.

 This sandwich board in the front of the Goodbye Blue Monday caught my eye, not only because it’s clever (“Look for us on Facebook & Twitter – but you won’t find us”) but because I’ve been trying to get smarter about how Twitter and Facebook can complement a blog.
