I don’t know about you, but I’ve been kind of slow to acquiesce to the future that is social apps. About 4 months ago I traded in my iPhone 5 for my wife’s Samsung Galaxy S5, so she could get an iPhone 6. (Note: Android destroys Apple in nearly every way, but that’s a talk for another time)
I’ve always been a PC guy, and I think that’s essentially what pushed me over the edge into the world of apps.
So, without further ado, here’s 12 places you can now find me.
Fitness & Adventure
These are by far the best 3 places to find me.
FitBit
I’ve walked over 1,600 miles since March 2014!
I absolutely love my FitBit Charge HR. I’m probably more active on FitBit than any other app. I usually run some type of challenge group every week or every other week. You can add me 1 of 2 ways (I think):
- On my FitBit profile: https://www.fitbit.com/user/2DXTK9
- Via email (wesley [at] wesleybanksauthor [dot] com)
MyFitnessPal (MFP)
I use MFP every single day. Like I said before, I’m obsessed with tracking.

Outbound
I just recently found this site, so I don’t have a lot of my “adventures” uploaded yet. However, this is probably my new favorite site. There’s just so many cool trips to explore and find.

Movies & Video
IMDB
Have I ever said that I love movies? Because I love movies. Seriously. It’s normal that I’ve seen 90% of every movie at Regal at any given time.

Vimeo
I’ve posted a couple videos on my blog lately and I’m hoping to make this a more common theme. I use Vimeo as opposed to YouTube for my video creation, mainly because their user interface is so much cleaner.

Writing & Books
Goodreads
If you love books, you need to be on Goodreads. I’m really disappointed that I didn’t know much about Goodreads until the last year or so.

WattPad
I probably shouldn’t even put WattPad on this list yet, because I haven’t actually used it. If you haven’t heard of it though, definitely check it out, especially if you’re a reader or writer. In 2006 they had something like 17,000 free stories on there, and now they have over 100 million read to date. That’s insane.

BookBub
If you read a lot, and you’re looking for a new author or just a really good book deal, then definitely check out BookBub.

Social Media
Last, and least (see what I did there?) we have traditional social media. I guess they’re not really traditional yet, since most of them are less than a decade old, but you know what I mean.
I use Facebook and Instagram almost daily, the others I’m a little more sparse on. I will say though, I love Pinterest for finding a little bit of inspiration for specific writing scenes, etc.

I’m all about food, my dog(s) and the great outdoors! Oh, and writing 🙂

What am I missing?
Any other cool places or apps I’m missing out on? If so, drop me a line down below in the comments.
I have seen your list for many years – and written to you before without a reply. I know the books you have listed are great dog books, but I think you are missing a really important book and a much needed topic for any dog lover.
“Doggy Dementia & Alzheimer’s: Shamrock’s Story,” reveals a dogs journey through dementia and the advice of over 50 experts on how to prevent, halt, recognize and treat this horrible disease. I know this may not be what you normally recommend, but it is much needed at this time.
You can find more information at https://goldenquillpress.com/dogdementia.html. The book is also on Amazon, Good Reads, and all book retailers and social media platforms including videos on YouTube.
Here is a recent article published about this book: https://blissdog.substack.com/p/dogs-get-dementia
Please give this book and this topic your consideration as pet parents need to know.
Dogs and Families everywhere will thank you!
