men and football plus a sex taboo...Hey, man how're you doing?
Egypt lost. Algeria won 1-0.
It's been a very silent day...
(no, I don't normally watch football...)
“I have never seen this before. So much silence and heads lowered. It is as if we lost a war and our national pride. I am shocked, but for me, the match showed us that we cannot avoid the real problems that exist here. Football can do little to change our circumstances,” he said.
How long the wounds of the loss will remain in the country’s minds is yet to be seen, but on Thursday, the quiet of the usually busy streets show that football can have detrimental effects to the people of Egypt." full article here
I was browsing Identity magazine today and I felt something odd.
Once I looked and touched it a bit closer, I noticed there was a sticker!
Look how it censors the magazine's Dr. Anne's answer to the question:
Suspicious He Is Gay?

Of course I wanted know WHY?
Suspicious He Is Gay?
The word is not free in this country.

what am I blogging about? who is my audience? autch! I don't know but let's help Jay Baer!
You remember I posted about sharing? I'm sorry but I have to tell you what has happened after that.
I found myself on Jason Baer's blog yesterday. After that I've been a very busy woman!
Jason asked on his article few questions and now I'm even more confused!
Who is the audience for your blog? I don't know! Help me! Mamma mia!
I started as an expat (about my life in Egypt but I stay mainly at home, how interesting is that?)
Now my interest is more 'out there'. My life is very boring. Nothing happens in our house. I get the ideas and inspirations 'out there'. Like reading Jay's blog! :)
What is your blog about? I don't know. (This is getting really serious! heeelp!)
I'm not a 'I have only one interest' woman! I like photography, music, learn new things and have fun! I know I need more from my blogging but I don't know yet how and what. I don't have the skills like Jay but I can learn, can I?
What similar blogs exist? I don't know. eeeek! No more difficult questions!
Sometimes I think I'm the only one who has a problem who my audience is or what I blog about. I spend much more time 'out there' reading and commenting other blogs than on my own blog. No. Haven't seen similar blog as mine. eeeek! I need...a new life!?
I've been digging. Yes, here digg.com. Day by day I realize all the great possibilities 'out there' - in social media.
What is your blog about?
And now my friends. Let's help Jay! Go to flickr and tell which image is the best! I left my comment already!

sharing rocks! 'How people share content on the web'... sosiaalinen media kukoistaa!
On my yesterday's posting I shared information about some Finnish bloggers joined together and how they made pieces of art & let their creativity to bloom!
Some of you know already that I like to share. In the morning I noticed Mari Koo's (a Finnish social media blogger - sorry, only in Finnish) tweet about sharing. What did I find? An interesting posting by Journalistics 'How people share content on the web'.
The most popular methods are: Facebook 24%, email 11.1% and Twitter 10.8%.
I'm following the followers and I get interesting information. And I share.
But hey, I'm just one blogger but you never know how many bloggers I might link and get together!
Kuin tilauksesta saapui sosiaalisesta mediasta Tekniikka&talous online posti, jossa pohditaan mm. miksi Facebookissa haukutaan pomoa muttei uskalleta puhua kasvokkain.
"Ketä tai mitä on syyttäminen siitä, että meille tuottaa suuria vaikeuksia olla suoria ja rehellisiä silloin, kun on sanomisen oikea aika ja paikka?
Rellottaako syyllinen työpaikan kulttuurissa, avoimuudessa, viestinnän ymmärtämättömyydessä vai suomalaisessa kansanluonteessa?"

EDITED version of your WOrds & my IMAges = WO*IMA meme #43
your WOrds about this image #43:
Yes I do, and also the little girl who could not keep her butt down in the shoolbench.
One or two of her teachers get "pimpels" from her behaving :)
I really dont miss those years!!!
101 ways to taunt an amnesiac.
Mostly, I remember the girls.
I don't want to remember!
I am with Susu on that one....*shudder*
Not an experience I want to have again. Lots of mean girls and crazy boys! Although I do remember climbing a wall at the school to look at a cute guy. Sigh.
*
Thank you all!
WO*IMA again on Saturday!

ps. please visit here:
"Galleria Selätys was opened in November 2009.
Lepis invited co-bloggers to join into a project called How to Survive November.
In the project, bloggers were to choose a photo of their own, which then was to circle through all the other bloggers who participated the project, each putting one’s own touch to the photo.
Thus the original photos were manipulated by many bloggers.
Welcome!"

you give me WOrds and I give you an IMAge(s) = WO*IMA #43
your WOrds and my IMAge #43:
as usual you have time till Sunday 6 pm Cairo time
Don’t know what WO*IMA is about? Every Saturday I give you a picture. You give me your words, thoughts, however the picture inspires you by leaving a comment. On Sunday (sometimes on Monday) I’ll publish your words WITH YOUR LINK. You can check previous WO*IMA posts to get the idea. Have fun!
* * *
Et tiedä mistä WO*IMAssa on kysymys? Joka lauantai postaan kuvan johon toivon teiltä sanoja, mietteitä, mitä kuva mielikuvissanne herättää. Sunnuntaina (joskus vasta maanantaina) julkaisen sanat KIRJOITTAJAN LINKIN KERA. Voit tutkailla aiempia WO*IMA postauksia päästäksesi jyvälle.
Huom! sanat tulee kirjoittaa englanniksi TAI englanniksi ja suomeksi. EI vain suomeksi. Täällä ei kiinnitetä huomiota kielioppiin tai kirjoitusvirheisiin. Tule rohkeasti mukaan!

Welcome! - blog dating participants are here! Meet new bloggers and new worlds!
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I introduce to you the blog dating participants!
Welcome and welGO to visit each others blogs - you can say hi! from me!
Have fun!
About me: Gutsy I hope, edutainer, I hope (That's educating while entertaining, for those who might not know.) Writer, workout lover, and mother of 22, 19 and 15-year-old boys. Born in Denmark, lived in Nigeria, Paris, Norwich, Glasgow, Brussels, Strasbourg, southern California, Belize and soon Naples, Florida.
It is quite difficult to describe my blog, cause most of my post`s are something "not so wise-stuff", and it is impossible to translate them in english.(I dont use written language moore pooch I think..) I start my blog in January 2009 and have nothing experience of writing before that. I have two sons, but they dont live at home anymore, so I have very much time of my own...My English is so rusty nowdays, but this is a great way to practise!
I love to read these three blog, because:
Isopeikko writes so fine fairy tales of troll, fox, bear and little wolf, and also fantastic stories about life!
You can read those stories also in English.
Hope you enjoy as much as I do!
Looking forward to meeting new bloggers!
JANICE

Blog dating 11.11.2009 - welcome! Blogideitit 11.11.2009 - tervetuloa!
Let's start blog dating!
First of all I want to introduce you to my very first commentator, EBRUFIN, a Finnish blogger who lives in Turkey with her family. She writes in Finnish but she's fluent in English too!
Next. My loyal blogger commentators for about a year now. Men first (or a man sorry there's only one)
MYTHOPOLIS This man is one of his kind! He's funny, clever, artistic and a good writer. And he knows a lot 'how to'.
NICOLE She's an expat living now here in Egypt, Sharm el-Sheikh. She shoots birds. NO! With camera! And explores around her new location at least in English and German.
SCRIBER This woman is...multitalented, funny - even crazy (like me). Her "A Wine Opera" is super hilarious and unique!
When I started blogging and I had few problems and
VILIJONKKA helped me. She lives in Beijing, China. Vilijonkka writes in Finnish but her blog is full of beautiful photographs - so you don't need to worry about the language. She's fluent in English and Swedish too. At the moment she has a raffle on her blog - leave a comment and you're in!
SUSUPETAL A multitalented Finnish blogger, writes great short stories in Finnish but she has a blog in English too.
YAELIAN, a Finnish blogger, writes in Finnish but can communicate with several other languages. She lives in Israel.
ELEGIA A Finnish blogger who just moved to London but is now on a trip to Tokyo. How cool is that? She designs blog templates with her a Finnish blogger friend
ITKUPILLI who lives in Los Angeles.
ARJAANNELI I mentioned already...
A new, fresh and interesting blog is
EVERETT BOGUE's 'simplifying life through a minimalist existance'. You can subscribe for free email...
GUTSY WRITER Yes, she's the one who asked how to share our audiences - she has a lot to say in her blog...
As I wrote in the introduction memes are not enough for me. But I do them!
After a long break I started again Hey Harriet's 'Shadow Shot Sunday' run by Tracy in Australia.
Memes push me to shoot. And I get material for other use too.
Some of you might know that I love colours?! I found a new meme called 'Colour Carnival' run by MENAGERIE (Martha).
Those two memes keeps me busy with my passion - photographing (learning more every day).
This is my main blog but I have three more...
my meme, NaBloPoMo pictures etc.
travel pictures from Australia, Kuala Lumpur etc.
in Finnish we discuss about politics, religion, men-women, daily life topics etc.

INTRODUCTION to the blog dating, starting today 11.11.2009... yhteenveto blogideittailuun, joka alkaa tänään 11.11.2009...
Yesterday I was desperate. How and where to start explaining the idea of the 'blog dating'...
This morning * BANG! * I had a question waiting in a comment box:
"What I really want to learn is how to link with others to share our audience, not necessarily through a meme or a carnival. Any tips?"
Before that question I didn't know anything about blog carnivals.
I'm NOT a social media guru, I don't know enough to have 10.000 interactive followers.
I've learned blogging basics from gurus.
I started blogging in August 2008. I have still a lot to learn! I learn by doing.
For me the biggest problem was and is: English is not my native language. My grammar sucks. But only way to communicate 'out there' is other than Finnish and for me it's English. I'm very, very curious person. NOT to sneak celebrities wardrobes or who's dating who.
I'm interested about people all over the globe. I want to learn about new cultures.
I want to get more blogger friends (to become friends needs more than one meme comment 'Nice shot!'). (Some bloggers do only memes and that's fine with me but not enough for me.)
Here are some gurus and blogs I follow.
From Chris Brogan's postings I got a flame for blogging globally.
From Problogger I find a lot of information.
From Blogdoctor I get help when my bloghead is aching.
There are a zillion more - just ask me!
From Daily Blog Tips I got the basic idea for 'blog dating'.
Daniel asked his audience a question 6.10.2009:
"Dear reader, who are you?"
Why a guru wants to know who I am? I posted my answer.
I checked this morning, he had 238 responses! And he answered to all those responses!
From those responses I found couple of new blogs.
To get new audience I have to be active. I have to go around and look for new interesting worlds.
Nobody's coming to knock my door: "Hi! Here you are - 10.000 interactive followers!"
No. I have to do the work myself.
I've always wanted help people if I can. I've introduced several bloggers to each others. Now I want to do that public. That's 'blog dating'!
I'm sorry but you have to wait couple of hours for the actual blog dating post, thank you!
* * *
In Finnish. Suomeksi.
Eilen olin epätoivoinen. Pähkäilin miten ja mistä aloitan kertoakseni näistä 'blogideiteistä'.
Tänä aamuna * BANG *! kysymys odotti kommenttilootassa:
"Mitä todella haluan oppia on, miten linkittyä muiden kanssa, jakaa yleisöä, ei välttämättä meemien tai blogikarnevaalien kautta. Mitään vinkkejä?"
Ennen tuota kysymystä en edes tiennyt mistä blogikarnevaaleista on kysymys!
En ole sosiaalisen median guru, en tiedä enkä osaa tarpeeksi saadakseni 10.000 interaktiivisia seuraajaa.
Olen oppinut bloggauksen perustiedot alan guruilta.
Aloitin bloggaamisen elokuussa 2008. Minulla on paljon vielä opittavaa! Minä opin tekemällä.
Suurin ongelmani, harmini oli ja on: englanti ei ole äidinkieleni. Kielioppi kaikilla kielillä sucks.
Mutta ainoa tapa kommunikoida 'maailmalla' on englanti (tai espanja jne.) siis muu kuin suomen kieli.
Olen hyvin, hyvin utelias henkilö. EN kuitenkaan ole kiinnostunut julkkisten vaatekaapeista tai kuka tapaa ketä.
Olen kiinnostunut erilaisista ihmisistä ympäri maailmaa. Haluan oppia uusia kulttuureja. Haluan saada lisää bloggaajakavereita (tulla ystäväksi jonkun bloggaajan kanssa vaatii hiukan enemmän kuin meemikommentin "Kiva kuva!"). (Jotkut osallistuu bloggailuun vain meemeissä ja luo oman verkostonsa sita kautta. Siitä vaan mutta ei riitä minulle.)
Tässä joitain asiantuntijoita joiden blogeja seuraan.
Chris Broganin postauksista sain liekin bloggaamiseen maailmanlaajuisesti.
Problogger jakaa monipuolista tietoa.
Blogdoctor auttaa kun blogipää on kipeä. Noita on lisää vaikka kuinka - Just ask me!
Daily Blog Tips blogilta sain peruskipinän 'blogideittailu'ideaan.
Daniel kysyi lukijoiltaan 6.10.2009: "Hyvä lukija, kuka sinä olet?" Miksi guru haluaa tietää kuka minä olen? No, lähetin vastaukseni joka tapauksessa.
Tarkistin tänä aamuna - hänellä oli 238 vastausta! Hän myös vastasi noihin kaikkiin kommentteihin!
Noiden vastauksien myötä löysin myös muutamia uusia blogeja.
Saadakseni uutta yleisöä ja vipinää sosiaaliseen vuorovaikutukseen minun on oltava itse aktiivinen. Minun täytyy kierrellä, löytää uusia, mielenkiintoisia maailmoja ja jättää kommentteja.
Kukaan ei tule oveen koputtamaan: "Hei! Täällä on sulle 10.000 vuorovaikutteista seuraajaa".
Minun täytyy itse tehdä työtä verkottumiseni eteen.
Olen aina halunnut auttaa ihmisiä jos vain osaan ja voin. Olen ollut monen bloggaajan ensimmäinen kommentoija. Olen yhdistänyt monia bloggaajia koska aistin heillä synkkaavan.
Nyt haluan tehdä tämän isommin, julkisesti.
Varsinainen 'blog dating' postaus tulee parin tunnin kuluttua.
Siihen osallistuminen tapahtuu englanniksi. Miksi? Mahdolliset vain englantia puhuvat (tai sillä kommunikoivat) bloggaajat eivät ymmärrä suomen kieltä.
Jos haluamme vuorovaikutusta ja tavata uusia mielenkiintoisia tuttavuuksia meidän pitää käyttää yhteistä kieltä.
Älä välitä kieliopista tai virheistä.
Pääasia, että osoitat kiinnostuksesi verkottumiseen. Kysykää vaikka Arjaannelilta! sau :)

Älä välitä kieliopista tai virheistä.
Pääasia, että osoitat kiinnostuksesi verkottumiseen. Kysykää vaikka Arjaannelilta! sau :)
