Memorial Day on Favrd

It’s Memorial Day and I know that most of the world is off enjoying bar-b-que and beer and celebrating their day off. In the world of digital marketing it’s a pretty slow day.  The news is full of things like Obama spending his day at Arlington National Cemetery and the various fluff pieces on how the average Joe is having a party on what has turned into the day we’re we as a nation welcome summer. Online, there’s not much else. If you dig you might find a comparison of logos commemorating the day from across the search engines or various people acting holier than tho and belittling most for not respecting this day for it’s original intent. Here at my house, I can’t deny that I’m glad to have the day off, thinking of how I might fire up the grill for some food, painting a room and wondering how it would feel to be in Arlington on today of all days.

My point is, that there is no one point. Holidays are created, usually out of an evolution of a single purpose, but every holiday means something different to every person who participates. It’s my day to post here at SageRock and I’ve felt bad about not knowing what to put up. So in lieu of the standard post you might find if you were looking for something on Memorial Day, I’ve decided to post up the best of the standard posts you might find if you weren’t looking and just happened to be hanging out on Twitter today.

So here are a sort of random assortment of Favorite Tweets from Favrd:
