Sometime early this morning, I got my 3000th follower here at the Green-Walled Tower. It may seem pretty easy to follow a tower around, since it doesn’t move, but I try to jump around to various topics, to make things interesting. I just want to let you know, dear followers, that I appreciate all of you. Mostly the ones who have actual blogs since what I love most about blogging is forming relationships, but I don’t want to leave out the ones who are clearly spam as well. I’m looking at you, directpaybiz01.wordpress.com. I may never follow your blog back or even visit it, but I appreciate you.
I was going to do a feature about my 3000th follower, and then I found out that it was deodorantonline, which made me really want to do a feature on it. I don’t know about you, but I’m still buying my deodorant in a store, like a caveman, instead of exploring the exciting world of online deodorant purchase. Speaking of cavemen (kind of), one of their fragrances is Yeti, because nothing says sexy like smelling like the Abominable Snowman. Other fragrances include IQ (duh!), Delve (for you dwarves out there), and Alter Ego, for those of you who happen to be Superman, or are just sneaking around behind someone’s back.
Sorry, deodorantonline. I’ll always be a Power Bacon man. For those special occasions, when you want your armpits smelling like a hearty breakfast.
I’m not saying you should buy deodorant online, but I’m also not saying you shouldn’t. Follow your heart. But if you do, know that all their stock is marked down 2%. Some of it is even slashed as much as 4% off! Holy cow!
By the way, if none of that interests you, check out the blog of my most recent follower, Being MG. She is a real person, a fellow writer, and a fellow Friday Fictioneer. Check out her work; it’s good stuff.

Haha, I love it. I might have to actually buy one of my friends some bacon deodorant as a joke present.

I know a few people who might appreciate it, at least on an ironic level. 🙂

You brought a smile to my face even before I read your kind pitch. Glad I hopped on board.
All my best,
MG

Hey, I couldn’t spend all that time talking about a spam blog and not mention a real, deserving one. 🙂

Thanks! 🙂

good one! you can try online sales 🙂
February 14th, 2014 at 10:40 pm
Ha! If I ever try to sell you anything, then it’s not really me. 🙂

congratulations for 3000 follows, not all writers accomplish this landmark! Hope a few more zeroes will join 🙂
February 14th, 2014 at 10:38 pm
I’ve learned that numbers like that don’t mean much but thank you all the same. Wonderful friends like you can’t be measured in numbers 🙂
February 17th, 2014 at 11:37 pm
30 and 300 may not be that different but crossing 1000 is a landmark, and 3000- well one can be smug about it, 🙂
unless of-course it is publicity stunt- I have heard about some offices where the employees are forced to follow their bosses in facebook and like every thing they write on it(absolutely correct information)

oh, I believe it. Some people make money artificially boosting traffic to certain websites.
February 15th, 2014 at 5:30 am
Ha Ha. A post on online deodorant? LOL There is always an idea somewhere out there when a writer cannot come up with something.
February 15th, 2014 at 10:18 pm
I just wanted to highlight some of the absurdity that’s out there, although I guess someone is buying it.
February 17th, 2014 at 4:40 am
He he, no thank you! 🙂 And congratulations David! You seem to have added 391 more followers in 3 days!!! 🙂
February 17th, 2014 at 8:25 am
Most of those 391 are Facebook friends. WordPress puts them all together if you send your posts straight to Facebook but I was only counting people who directly followed my blog. I wish I got followers that fast. 🙂
