There is a social media site for virtually anything you can imagine. After a recent conversation with limeduck about staking claim to your digital brand, I decided to test his premise Morgan Spurlock style. For the next 30 days, I will explore the impact of living the social media dream.

Here are my rules of engagement:

1. Sign up for as many social media sites as possible.

2. Register for each as Tangyslice, a middle aged man desperately seeking social media coolness.

3. Place a link or badge on my personal blog for each new site I join.

4. Solicit site suggestions from friends and colleagues. I can be reached at tangy [at] tangyslice dot com (or @tangyslice if you prefer Twitter) if you have any suggestions.

5. Blog frequently about the experience.

To make this more than just another inane attempt at online greatness, I will be raising money for my kids’ elementary school through the Brackett School PTA in Arlington MA. I am personally pledging $1 for every registration and hope that others will support my cause on my online fundraising page.

I am setting my goal for 100 sites.

Wish me luck.
