Earthquake In Lancaster, PA?

<div class=\"postavatar\">earthquake-in-lancaster-pa</div>

Wierd.  Weird. (Thanks to the coward in Philly who posted the comment but wouldn’t say who they were)  :)

I’m sitting here doing some work and just felt the house shaking. I thought it was a truck outside at first or like a ton of wind or something.

Anyone in Lancaster feel it too?

It really felt like an earth quake.

UPDATE:

Turns out it WAS an earthquake. OK… heading to bed now. :)

Comment below if you felt it, too…

UPDATE: Anyway, come earthquakes, hail storms, hell or high water, quality, ethical internet marketing services will continue to come from Prospect MX Lancaster PA. You can count on that. Thanks!

Why You Woke Up With Less Tweeps This AM

<div class=\"postavatar\">why-you-woke-up-with-less-tweeps-this-am</div>

Twitter made a change yesterday that removed deleted and suspended accounts from your list of followers. Twitter Status had the real scoop.

And don’t worry, it wasn’t just you who lost a few followers. Check out the numbers of followers for the Top 100 Tweeps – even @barackobama lost 789.

I’m not as cool as everyone else – I only lost 10.

How many did you lose?
