Twitter Exec Goes to Iraq

Interesting article. A handful of Social Media execs are traveling to Iraq. Your thoughts on bringing Social Media into Iraq to help them grow as a country? The main objectives are to "build upon anti-corruption efforts, promote critical thinking in the classroom, and scale-up civil society, among other goals."

I'm glad to stay over here and teach people how to use social media instead, thanks. Wow. That could be an intense job that would definitely take my "Smile" out of Marketing! Hope they're safe. I'm blessed and grateful to be typing from the safety of my home, and not in a war zone.

BUT - it is cool how "small" our world is becoming b/c of social media, though, isn't it?

Social Media - giving a loud and powerful voice to anyone who chooses to use it. How are YOU using Social Media?

From Zero to Hero in No Time Flat!

Here's a prime example of how powerful the Internet and viral marketing can be!

Susan Boyle was just a unknown single lady living with her cat, Pebbles, and she has now performed for more than 14 million people (as of this posting) and that's just from this one video channel.

I also love watching this video because it reminds us how we shouldn't judge a book by a cover. Talent comes in all shapes, sizes and ways. Further, NEVER give up on your dreams! Susan had been wishing to sing in front of a large audience since she was 12 years old. A big congratulations and hug goes out to a remarkable 47-yr-old superstar in the making!!

He helped create the amazing microblogging site that I've been raving about lately, Twitter.

Which side projects are YOU starting on? I believe there's a $100,000 idea inside of everyone.

Evan speaks at TED seminar about how Twitter got started and why:
