Who then, you wonder?


Well, if you really want to know, keep reading.



Before I tell you, I would like to state that this post is really the final part in a series of three.

The original title of the first two parts was and still is: Don´t presume, Do check.

Especially part 2 turned out a hoot last night. That´s because ... well, go check for yourself, if you like. You don´t have to. But you can. I´m just not going to repeat myself here.

Apparently the original title sucked. So, I decided to try something different for the final part.



Anyway, it was a woman who started the Follow Me thing.


Moreover, she was DECADES ahead of time.


Young Zuckerberg wasn´t even in the making back then!



Drum roll .........



Here she is!




Amanda Lear topped the (continental European) disco charts with Follow Me in 1978.




P.S. The lists of people you follow and the list of people who follow you are still there: the pictures are inserted in chronological order. The first member you followed/the first member who followed you are on the bottom of the list. If you scroll down slowly, you get there quickly.

Thanks Rob/boomergp08 for informing me!

That's remaind me old thought: What is obvious or looks a like isn't a necesserly conclusion, and the Truth. Be Aware Than, Here and Now, and (LOL) Always, if you can! LOL again.

2

Yup, looks can be deceiving!

1

That is corner stone! How many tragedies in the Human Kind History arising from Deceiving?

1

Yes Leonard. Looks can be deceiving. Who would have ever thought that I was a Genie instead of a Jeannie? And who would have thought that a WA member lived in a bottle? Lol

Thanks Tezsie. I noticed you signed Tessa. Is that what you want to be called?

1

Hi, Jeannie, sure I´d like that *s

1

Tessa it will be then. Since I am Jeannie (Genie). Your wish is my command! Lol.

2

Wow, lucky me lol

Do you live in a bottle too?

1

I'm a scroll in the bottle... LOL I would love to enjoy members club people who lives in bottle.
(Wow! What a nice title for my writing... LOL)

2

lol

1

My friend at church says I do. :) But you know what they say about people who live in glass houses. I better not throw any stones. Lol

Yes Leonard. The scroll in the bottle. No telling where the bottle will roll. Lol

Very well put... I must admit, I don't know Amanda Lear. My education must be lacking.

1

Thanks for stopping by, Jim. Amanda Lear scored several hits in Europe but never bothered to make it big overseas.

1

Pity Amanda Lear was in the wrong era. She had the message right. Better looking than Zuckerberg as well. She never did much in Uk. Pity. She had style. Thanks for the great post. Chris

2

Hahaha, Chris, her act was much better than his too. I´m beginning to think she never got off the old continent at all.

2

Thanks for sharing - very few would know this.

2

Thanks for your comment, Gautam. I figured I´d best update everybody on this significant fact.

2

A case of a follower making leaders!

1

lol Mike.

Your a hoot Tesa thanks for sharing and putting a smile on some of our faces

2

Glad I could do so, John, and thanks for stopping by!

LOL I seriously thought I was going to get a little bit of social media lore there, but I guess that works. :)

1

lol apparently. I just read a few blogs on picking the right title for a post, so thought I´d practice a bit.

Thanks for commenting, Cory *s
