Welcome to the inaugural post for Status THIS, a new blog and webcomic dedicated to social media and emerging web technologies.

The site is still being fleshed out, and a new template skin is forthcoming. In the meantime, I’ll be posting regular comics and blog posts that will (usually) have some connection to social media like Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and the like.

There may even be a social-themed podcast on the horizon, so keep checking back.

Update: Wow, we just got reprinted by Mashable.com!! Huge thanks to everyone that’s checked out the comic so far and all the retweets and compliments. And major thanks to Adam at Mashable for asking to reprint it. This has been a truly astounding day. I hope that I’m able to continue to deliver a quality product. More info coming soon!

Also, I’m not surprisingly gaining a lot of new Twitter followers to @AtlantaJones. First, thank you all so much for that. I may eventually create a new Twitter handle for Status:THIS, but I’ll announce it if I do.

Update 2: Robert Scoble also posted the comic today! Absolutely an unbelievable day.

Update 3: Signed prints are now available. Just click the PayPal link above. Prints will be 8.5″ x 11″ glossy, with signature.
