Sony and Kimberly Blaine are starting a new site that will feature moms you want to meet. (*blushes* Like me!!) MommytoMommy.tv.

I'm a nut. I know.

Kimberly Blaine and I go way back to when I started Bookieboo. She introduced me to Tracey Mallett, our Mamavation Trainer. But not only is Kimberly Blaine a producer, she’s also an amazing child therapist. (She gives me advice about my kids. I make her laugh. It’s a match made in heaven.)

I get nuttier with the camera around.

Here’s some PR:

And there will be cool gadgets from Sony:

So go check out MommytoMommy.tv. My segment appears early November.

UPDATE: The poll crashed, so we had to restart it the first day. Winners will be announced on October 1st.

Thank you to SUBWAY (@Subwayfreshbuzz) and Earth Footwear (@Earthfootwear) for sponsoring the Top 50 Most Inspirational Healthy Tweeps. The top 2 spots from this poll will receive two prizes: (1) An interview with Jared from SUBWAY, their spokesperson, and (2) A pair of Earth Footwear.

I’m @bookieboo and I’d just like to say that there were so many nominations that I stopped counting after 200. It just became too overwhelming. Thank you to everyone who nominated someone. It was a BIG help in creating this list. As I explained in the first post, I took 25 people from the nominations you sent me and 25 people were people that I thought were important in our online community. There was some overlap, so I was able to dip into the nominations more.

So here is the poll. These are the top 50, but I need you to vote on their order so we have an idea who our rock stars are. Here are the rules, you can only vote once, but you can vote for as many as you want. There are exactly 50 names in the poll below and they are in alphabetical order.  These people truly represent the most influential AND/OR most inspirational healthy tweeps on twitter.

Good luck everyone! And thank you to everyone else who is voting to support your favorites. XXOO

I think it’s shameful how fitness bloggers are left out of almost everything when it comes to recognition. Healthy living is a growing niche. With the rise of obesity, it’s becoming very obvious that “fitness types” are needed. Come on guys, really? Yes, the vast majority of us are moms, and we don’t even make “mommy lists.” I’m not really a complainer by nature, I’m a do-er, so when something really bothers me enough, I try and fix it. That is EXACTLY what I’m proposing to do. I’m creating the Top 50 Most Inspirational Healthy Tweeps for 2010. Me. I’m going to do it with your help.

I know how some of you feel about twitter lists, but I don’t mind them. I think most of the people on lists, not all, but most work hard at what they do and deserve some accolades. Social capital is similar to money. You either have it or you don’t. If you don’t, you can study people with it to learn about how to be more effective. Most of the time, in my humble opinion, it’s the truly genuine people who are being recognized in social media. I’ve met a grip of them. Genuineness is hard to fake. Eventually, it will expose you in social media.

So here it is, I’m running a contest for the Top 50 Most Inspirational Healthy Tweeps. I would just create a list of the Top 50, but I don’t know everyone in the “healthy” realm. Really, I don’t. There are PLENTY of people out there I’m not acquainted with and you are. So I need help. It’s going to be based on twitter. (I’ll consider everyone, but I’m reserving the right to place 25 people in the poll that I think need to be in there regardless if you guys nominate them or not because it’s MY poll.) But the results will be completely democratic.  So here are some instructions:

To nominate someone tweet out this message, but make sure to insert their twitter ID:

“I nominate (INSERT TWITTER HERE) for the Top 50 Most Inspirational Healthy Tweeps, http://bit.ly/deu2Su #Top50IHT”

Rules:

1. You can’t nominate @bookieboo. (That’s me. I’m running it silly!)

2. You CAN nominate as many as you like. (I’m going to be counting up the tweet nominations and creating a poll based on the top 50 people. This will eventually go for a vote.)

3. PLEASE do NOT nominate someone more than once. (I need my sanity…and this will drive me nuts! And if I think you are really sketchy, I’ll just ignore all the nominations for that person.)

4. You CAN nominate yourself. (But only once please, and please nominate more than just yourself. Cause that would be kinda tacky, ya know?)

5. ANYONE on twitter can be nominated, BUT not if their twitter account was just created. No newbies allowed. (Come on now, that’s silly!)

6. You CAN also nominate them by commenting on this post instead.

7. Tweeps can come from any “healthy” realm: fitness, foodies, doctors, marketing tweeps that are known to be fitnessy, whatever. Just make sure they are known for some type of healthy living fun on twitter.

When will this thing end? It will. Nominations go from September 15th to September 22nd. Then I’ll throw up a voting widget and you can vote for your favorites from October 23rd to October 29th.

Then I’ll post on October 30th and give you your results and our official Top 50 Most Inspirational Healthy Tweeps.

Ready for the ride? Let’s go…
