We had a normal contactor send us a cool thing that we had to share. This is a collection of social media avatars (or profile pics) that you can use on social media. Check them out above! (You can right-click to save them.) The pics are all 150 x 150 pixels, which works just about anywhere. (We have to admit: the ribbon image we use on the site is a little wonky. It still tickled us to see it turned into a clever, shareable form, though.)
We love seeing the community come up with great ideas! #NormalContact is not the volunteers that run the site and social media. Rather, #NormalContact is an idea we all agree on. To be honest, this site mostly only exists to make sure that no one can co-opt the name and corrupt the meaning. So it’s a huge honor and pleasure to be able to share some of the cool things people come up with that follow the #NormalContact philosophy. Social media avatars like this are a great way to share in low-key way.
Here’s a fun, but weird secret: #NormalContact is growing. So far, however, it seems to mostly be growing offline. We’ve seen our visitors in cities across the US slowly pop up in clusters. (That’s excluding any bots and spiders, of course.) That leads us to believe that #NormalContact is mostly spreading by word of mouth so far, rather than social media. That’s pretty cool! It means that this humble idea about relationships and interaction is spreading through relationships and interaction.
We keep our eyes out for things the community might post in addition to things people send us directly. #NormalContact is still in the early stages, but is coming into its own. Make sure to keep sharing with people, wear your ribbon, and use the #NormalContact hashtag, especially on Twitter and Instagram.
