Dino Baskovic Can’t Lose

A little over a week ago and very much on a whim, I invited random people to tweet me suggestions for blog topics. First come first serve, limit 10, one topic per tweep (tweeter, Twitterer—whatever). Oh, and anything goes, even if I am clueless as to the subject matter. Heck, I can make stuff up as good as anyone.

Starting tonight, I will blog the first in a series of 11 posts. (That's right, 11 and not 10. I had to make an exception for another guy named Dino. It's what Dinos do for each other.) The topics more or less include:

1. @BridgettsWorld: The next big trend in "social" punctuation.
2. @Marjo_Elaine: Proper express lane etiquette at the grocery.
3. @prchck123: The Old Spice campaign and Alyssa Milano.
4. @JohnPotterGR: The Grand Rapids Area Professionals for Excellence (GRAPE) and thriving through online collaboration.
5. @BrianCousins: Global supremacy amongst chocolate confectioners.
6. @cjeck: Poor urban planning from a PR perspective.
7. @CharlieCurve: Converting an apathetic public into an ambitious community.
8. @NullFear: Tacos.
9. @tverma29: Viewing people through Twitter-colored glasses, rosy or otherwise.
10. @SClarkWXYZ: The #backchannel.
11. @dino_dogan: A poetic look at French bum named "Pier" in NYC, written in my native tongue.

Many thanks and/or apologies in advance to everybody that tweeted me. I promise to turn this shameless attempt at self-promotion into something worthwhile for all. You can follow the fun on Twitter, hashtag: #PanderingForPosts.

It's simple, really. I will blog about whatever the first 10 people tell me to blog. Ten posts in all, first come first served according to datetime stamp. Even if I haven't a clue as to the subject matter and I have to ad lib as I go.

The only stipulations are that you must tweet me your suggestion at @ProfessorDino via Twitter, and only one entry per person, please. No changing your mind, so make your tweet count.

Nothing's off the table here, and I can't guarantee you'll like what I write. But I will of course credit you for your suggestion.

So, what say ye?
