The blog before Christmas (reprise)

A few years ago, I wrote an online ditty based on Clement Moore’s classic Christmas poem and I thought I’d update it a bit and share it with you again (with apologies to Mr. Moore).  

As we head into the holidays, I want to thank all of you for visiting, reading and commenting on my blog and wish you a wonderful New Year.  Here goes:

Twas the blog before Christmas when all through the ‘sphere
Even Angry Birds creatures were filled with good cheer.

The last posts were tagged and sent out to share
in hopes that St. Googleus soon would be there.

When out in the geek-world a new app appeared
With a jolly old Scoble telling all who will hear…

Now Flipboard! now Groupon! now Foursquare and Tumblr!
On Facebook! on Hootsuite! on YouTube and Twitter!

And me with my search engine going full tilt
Just couldn’t keep up and was feeling some guilt.

So I added some new folks to network on LinkedIn
And posted a comment (I wanted to join in).

I blogged about Zuckerberg, optimized so clever
And checked Analytics to see if they’d ever

Been read or been clicked on or even just pageviewed
And sometimes I’d find out my post had been linked to.

But it’s tough to keep up in this virtual way
So I’ll say Merry Christmas and call it a day.

And for anyone who’s interested, here are links to the energi PR old-tyme holiday videos…
