Yesterday I listened in to SuccessFoolTV on UStream to hear Alejandro Reyes (@successfool)give his views about social networking, specifically on Twitter. I love listening to this man! It's because he's real, he's honest, he listens to other people's ideas, he basically tells it like it is and those qualities make him likable.
I have been listening in for awhile to get a feel of what truly is going on in the Twitterverse. I like the energy that Alejandro brings to people. It's contagious! Because of him I understand the essence of what twitter is all about: making connections and keeping it real (almost his exact words).
Another presence who I am compelled to follow is Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) for much the same thing. This guy is wild with passion about what he does! I love that! He inspires me to be creative. This kind of rapport is what sustains community and acts as a catalyst for more positive connections.
Speaking on a wider scale, have you seen the movie trailer for The Shift? Go to http://www.theshiftmovie.com/ and you can watch the trailer there. I'm not always sure of what's hype and what's real, but it appears real to me and the movie is sending out the message that more and more people are connecting to do GOOD.
Is it true that we are shifting to a new world perspective? Is the movie trying to build enough hype to move it forward? This kind of movement is exciting, if it's real.
I didn't mean to put those two subjects together...Twitter and a world movement...but do they kind of go together even just a tiny little bit? They both combine marketing with connection and the aspiration to help others.
Where does it go from here? I'm hoping a lot of good things will come from it. It feels like it's just the beginning.

Hi - I actually came to your blog through someone else who connected with me (musical chairs at its best!) This is all so new to me, I'm not even sure who at this point. But what you wrote rings true for me and so it touched me.
At bit about me:
Recently, I left behind my fear of leaving my old life behind. Does that sound strange? If anyone had told me that at 55 years of age, I'd be starting my life all over again, I'd have told them they were crazy. And yet here I am.
Before, a real estate developer, now a first-time author about to be published this October; before, a wallflower at large social gatherings, now someone who feels comfortable in just about any setting; before, a woman with a dream, now a woman who is living that dream - and feeling a sense of gratitude that I never dreamed possible.
Hope that does not sound too 'gushy'.
Would love to connect with you and compare notes.
