+Peter Hatherley : Anything that promotes
#love and
#thanksgiving I’m in.
17:15 Still possible to join the community. Just catch up on the first three days.
18:05 Comment
+Molly Youngblood Geiger: Thanks for the shout out. Speaking of technology, last “issue” resolved:)
18:36 I treat life as a beta.
20:41 Using the word
love is to show passion for the thing.
21:24 Chose love over passion because of the global marketing impact
22:55 Love is friendlier.
23:03 Comment
+Peter Hatherley The semantic of love is widespread but I understand it’s hard to have
#unconditionallove for shoes!
23:20 The list is as broad and generic as possible because of the global aspect with simple words in English.
25:22 This Karen’s first community.
25:38 Took ideas from other communities with strict guidelines because I wanted to keep it clean, wholesome, family friendly.
26:15 Number one rule: you can’t be a bluehead and you can’t have an avatar.
26:30 Shout out to
+Dave Pipe for change from avatar to profile image.
27:28 The positives of the community.
28:00 The negatives of the community.
30:10 It’s a global community. People post throughout the day and night.

+Denver Prophit Jr. On a scale of Amelda Marcos? I think she had 200+ pair of shoes.
31:40 She had 3000 pairs of shoes.
32:01 Comment
+Missy Jay I love the fact that you pinned
#28daysoflovechallenge list on your page.
32:16 Comment +Denver Prophit Jr.: Peter would probably agree. Love can be either a noun, verb or predicate nominative? More grammar lessons needed! So love in context! I love shoes expresses a fondness of an inanimate object.
33:32 Comment
+Ray A Miller I have 3 pairs of shoes.
33:57 Comment
+William Rock what about Husband and WIFE teams, is that out of the RULES?
34:07 Deborah and William you can combine your forces.

Clever Marketer & Social Media Engager / Knitter / Gardener / Sewist
Introduction
My Philosophy
I don't let my mind get stale. I actively learn something new every day. Unlike any other social media platform, I'm finding every day is a learning adventure here in the Google+ ecosystem.
Me
I am a clever, self-starter, consensus-building Marketer by day and I have recently made the time for expanding my creativity - knitting (blogging), gardening, sewing and iPhone photography. Like learning about social media, each has open doors. I'm continually increasing my knowledge, skills, and meeting really interesting people that I would never have met because of my newly found creative outlets.
I am firm believer that you can learn anything from watchingYouTube and having the skills to do a proper Google search are some of the successful keys to life!

Once I put my mind to it, I can do just anything. I finishing my MBA while working at internet start-ups. Picked up knitting again in 2008 and have now knitted samples for local yarn shops (LYS), knitting pattern designers and yarn companies. Currently cultivating roses, a tiny vineyard and growing organic fruits and vegetables from horrible clay soil. Big Golden Era of Hollywood movie buff
