What would you do for a free trip?

Dave on Deman

Today I received a link from a co-worker. It was to davidondemand.com, a live feed of David Perez, who really wanted to go to the Advertising Festival in Cannes, France. Leo Burnett agreed to pay for his trip out to Cannes, but under one condition, he had to do whatever the Twittersphere told him to do for the entire week while in Cannes. He was at our mercy for the entire week, 24 hours day. I was even honored by a very “sweet” limerick dedicated to me because I told his dinner mates to put salt in his wine while he was away from the table. He was none too pleased upon taking a sip and spitting out the spoiled beverage. It has been a really funny week watching him. He got a tattoo of the Twitter Fail Whale, ran on the beach like Bo Derek in “10″ and para sailing. This was a pretty hilarious and refreshing site to come across. Watching the ridiculous commands from other tweeters in the feed next to the Live video feed was both distracting and hilarious. I had to remove myself from watching the site all day, so I could get my work done, but returned to the video at the end of the day to see what trouble David Perez has gotten into. My question to you is, would you do really do ANYTHING for an awesome prize like a week trip to Cannes?

What comes first in your life? Email or Facebook?

Where do you start your day?

So before I get completely off on a tangent about what *I* do first, here is an interesting Mashable article today questioning whether people start their days with email or Facebook. It even comes equipped with awesome coffee and bagel charts! Yum!

The first thing I do when I come into the office is say good morning to those who arrived before me. The second? I go straight to my computer and sign in.

And the first thing I click on after my usual tools finish opening up? Well, it switches back and forth: I check my email, Twitter, Facebook, but not necessarily in a set order. I always attempt to make sure I check my email to see what my day will be like or if their are any fires I need to put out to make people like me again. :)

Then I go into the whirlwind I call social media.

Yes, it’s a whirlwind because there is so much to catch up on and read and know about–and of course my current distraction right now is the World Cup. Can it take me off task at times? Yes, but all for the greater good!The good of knowing what everyone is up to and who you need to catch up with in the vast world of Social Media.

What do you check first, email, Twitter or Facebook? And will it be the same over time, or change?
