Social Media…Finally!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Well, friends of racing, we are finally ready to stumble into the persistent digital state of the 21st century: social media.<\/p>\n
We do not want to take over the world or beat our chests every 30 minutes, nor do we wish to bombard you with fetishized pictures or food or clips of felines on musical instruments. Oh, no.<\/p>\n
On the other hoof, we do want to make your life a little easier, especially when it comes to alerting you to the latest content we’ve posted on our various platforms, such as the Pick of the Day<\/a> page or the HiddenEntries<\/a> Weblog.<\/p>\n
That’s right. Instead of having to stalk our sites and hit refresh as you are waiting (or hoping?) that the first race from Belmont will come up, we will let you know via the social media. You can rest assured. You can take it easy.<\/p>\n
Now, we are not going to do this via the Twitbook or the Facespace. For many various reasons, we have a healthful mistrust of both the Twitface and the Booker. One is advertisements. The other is getting tangled up in so many other feeds and so on.<\/p>\n
So to make it clean and easy for yourself — as well as to honor our own longshot ethos and contrarian culture of going against the obvious and eschewing the popular and the ubiquitous and blindly doing what everyone else is doing — we are going to use a much-maligned but no less effective social-media platform. It is known as the Google+.<\/p>\n
Click here to join us on the Google+<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Then make sure your notifications are on.<\/p>\n
What happens after this? We update our sites as usual, but then we also make a post to the Google+ that says the sites have been updated. And if your notifications are on, Google+ will alert you — via email or SMS text or both — that there’s some picks or information that you can check out. And it’s all instant.<\/p>\n
Twitface and Booker are capable of doing this, yes, but we have our healthful mistrust of both those guysz, and prefer to use the Google+ instead. Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate it.<\/p>\n
That is all. Best wishes at the races.<\/p>\n
