“We Sally Forth at 9am Eastern Time…” The 30 Day Challenge is merely hours away. I won’t be sleeping tonight, so I will have to wait out every single minute. Will I be the only one refreshing the 30DC site every 10 seconds when the clock strikes nine?

In the last few days I’ve been on the forum and reading the blog. I’ve been looking for clues as to what this year’s challenge will entail, because they will not outright say what we’re going to do until the challenge starts. In fact, from what I saw from last year’s challenge (wasn’t a participant, I learned about the 30DC a couple months after it ended) they literally take it one step at a time, posting what you ought to do each day.

From what I’ve seen, it’s all about “Web 2.0.” I’m no stranger to the internet or Web 2.0, but let me tell you that in the past 36 hours I’ve been introduced to a whole slew of social bookmarking and other Web 2.0-type sites. My knowledge of getting Web 2.0 is limited. I basically follow the write article –> submit story to digg/reddit/etc. –> wait for traffic model. In one blog video, Ed took one link in a facebook message and spread it across several social bookmarking and networking websites. I’m not sure how effective this will be in driving traffic, but I’m putting my trust in Ed and the crew.

One such Web 2.0 site that Ed hinted would be important is Twitter. I swear, I had never even heard of it, and when it was mentioned I kind of ignored it. If you’ve read first blog post, you know that I’m the kind of guy that never really gets involved in social networking. I have a personal MySpace and Facebook profile that I never touch, and this is my first personal blog. Nearly every social networking site I’ve signed up for and every blog I’ve authored was under a “fake” or anonymous alias for internet marketing purposes only. I’m just not into social networking.

So, I bit the bullet and made a Twitter profile. Check it out to see when I eat, sleep, and masturbate.
