The infamous Ken Burbary recently tagged me to be the next in line for a blog meme that says I need to outline seven random and/or weird things about myself. This ‘7 random things meme’ has been going on for some time, but I’ve successfully avoided it until now (thanks, Ken). I did a vlog (for posterity, of course) so if you’re interested in the life of Shauna, check it out:

7 Things About Shauna Meme from Shauna Nicholson on Vimeo.

1. Hip hop class weekly
2. Not a fan of artificial lighting
3. Drives “like a guy”
4. Keeps a change of clothes at the office
5. Mad foosball defense skills
6. Oldest of 5 kids
7. Licensed EMT through college

This was amusing to make and now I get to tag 7 new “victims.”

I tag:

• Kevin Outland
• Chris Mortiz
• Alex Drewinak
• Whole Foods
• Jamie Favreau
• Brian Ambrozy
• Kevin Krason (his blog is coming soon!)

Here are the rules for my fellow bloggers:

• Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post - some random, some weird.
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

I’m the type of person who values a great network–of people that is. My goal is to provide enough value to others that they don’t mind sharing their insight with me. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have a network who has taught me a ton and boosted me up. I encourage you to find your own network that does the same for you–and check out/join mine!

• @shannonpaul: Shannon Paul–She’s a PR rockstar, and (often) the second half of my brain. Shannon is always blogging great insight into public relations and social media, and posts links so I remember to visit.
• @charliecurve: Charlie Wollborg– If it isn’t hilarious insight to what’s going on in metro-Detroit, it’s remarkable branding and advertising advice pouring from his blog and tweets. (Yes, that sounds as cow-sexy as I meant it.)
• @drewie123: Alex Drewinak– Alex is Rebtel’s loudest voice in social media. Not only does he share my enthusisam for social media marketing in his blog, he continues to demonstrate how social media knows no boundries–he’s in Sweden.
• @jwphillips: John Phillips– He’s a young entrepreneur teamed up with a couple others to build websites. He’s the kind of guy you can complain to about a font type without getting laughed at.
• @kenburbary: Ken Burbary– Ken is one of those kind of guys you can always learn something from. His creative perspective and technical expertise is something I admire.

…and @mpiccinato wants to be on this list of rockstars; but I think that’s cheating (since he’s on the Biznet team)
