De-Lurking Day - Wednesday, October 8th
Monday, October 6th, 2008I’m celebrating and I’m trying to get as many people as possible to get involved. In case you don’t know what it means to “de-lurk”, I”m getting you the definition, right here and right now.
First of all, the definition of a lurker.
Lurker - A lurker is one who sits in an internet chat room, message base or newsgroup, but does not participate.
Thus, the definition of De-lurking is:
De-lurker - A lurker who makes a move to initiate contact and conversation in a place that they have formerly only lurked.
Anyway, I’m trying to stir up enough folks to celebrate a day of “de-lurking” and I’m being selfish and using my own personal excitement to produce a button for the Day of Delurking which I have deemed to be Wednesday October 8. So, come one, come all.
I’d love to tell you that this gorgeous graphic has code in it and it is simple to embed in your own blog, but I don’t know how to write code. So, if anyone wants to attempt it, please, by all means, go for it. And, if you want to change it and make your own button and send it around the internet, that suits me just fine too. All I want, is some folks to come out of hiding and let their VOICES BE HEARD (kind of like the presidential election but not exactly)
And, with that, I give you, my delurk button and I’m linking it to my blog, so feel free to do the same!
