Twestival – Community Intelligence

How my life has changed in the past year

December 26, 2009

If you asked me a year ago what was a hashtag, a tweet or a retweet, I would have looked at you blankly.

As a member of the CPRS Edmonton chapter, I decided to attend a luncheon in December 2008 that focused on the topic of social media. Walter Schwabe of f usedlogic was the guest speaker. Schwabe said one line that sold me on Twitter – (to paraphrase) if you aren’t on it, you are out of the game.

Charities are an outlet of communicating

May 18, 2009

Have you ever thought how charity defines you? What does it communicate about you to yourself and to your community?

John Winslow (aka @Sirthinks on Twitter) inspired me to write how charity fits within communities after reading his thoughts about charity. He wrote, “Charity begins at a place where the heart is. Simple, eloquent, and not requiring any redefining of anything. I like it.”
