This just proves the power of the social media. I posted this status update via Tweetdeck onto my Twitter feed and Facebook site…
Reading Poe”s “The Raven” – when the “rapping at my chamber door” part was read both the girls start immediately beat-boxing – oh my!+ (June 30, 2009 – via Tweetdeck).
Well one thing leads to another and the next thing we know the story ends up in The Advocate which is the Baton Rouge, Louisiana news paper. This anecdote was written about by The Advocate columnist Smiley Anders. You can read the article HERE. Wow, by July 7th the story hit a major regional newspaper.
Maybe I am still easily amazed, but that is pretty cool. (I am also amazed at how the generally accepted “first definition” of words have changed even in my short lifetime.)
There is a huge amount of power in the social media and the world of blogging. Seems to me that this is a wonderful outlet to spread many forms of good news rather than negativity.
This is one of the reasons why I like the idea that my dear friend Brody Harper introduced into the blog world. The idea simply helps us keep a barometer on ourselves and what we are posting through the social media and blogs. It is really simple. You can read about it HERE.
In a world of 24\7\365 negativity, keeping it positive is a conscious decision that we must strive to make in the social media.
