Howdy, I’m Barbara Tomlin. For over 30 years, I’ve defined myself by keywords. I have been online since the early 80s. A Baby Boomer, I was privileged to claim my seat early in the 20th Century technology revolutions of personal computing and online communications. I have made money from my various artistic and intellectual endeavors for over 40 years. I am also a fourth-generation American entrepreneur, starting my first profitable venture at age 13.
My primary reason for creating this blog site was to complement my presence on Twitter and Facebook, where I am using BarbTUSA as my user ID. As of this writing, I would have to term myself as a “Newbie” on these social networks. I made a point to “stake my claim” on Facebook in 2008, but frankly, I wasn’t interested in doing anything more because I wasn’t convinced the Facebook style of social networking would do anything more than add “noise” to my life. And, more noise is not something I aspire to attract at this time in my life. But now my viewpoint has changed and I’ve decided to jump in. The primary focus of this blog site will be all my adventures as a result of this decision.
Since we have migrated from keywords to tags in the 21st Century, here are the “tags” I define myself by today: serial entrepreneur, small business advocate, geeky artist, integrated marketing guru, web media pundit, economic development researcher, digital nomad, one-on-one technology trainer, avatar handler, balloonist. Following are pages on my tags of focus at this time:
