Twitter+Reflections

Tuesday June 22, 2010 8:45pm

Today I signed up at Twitter.com. It was a little confusing at first because I didn't realize that I could choose 3 different friends from the left hand side. So I went back to change that. I have never twittered before so this will be interesting. I choose to follow Jim Carey, Queen Latifah, and traveldeals. The third choice is different from other two because my family and I enjoy traveling so I was hoping that maybe twittering will allow me to see the best travel deals. I am excited to read tomorrows' twitters.

Tonight I was able to go into my twitter account and read up more about Queen Latifah, Jim Carey, and traveldeals. So far nothing new on traveldeals. I am alittle disappointeed.

I watched the short clip on Queen Latifah's page. She was on the Jay Leno Show regarding her new book **__Put on Your Crown__** which was a book inspired by her own life experiences. She wanted to inspire girls and women about self love, motivation, and embracing one's own differences. She also shares about her desires to try new things such as learning to ski. I have always love watching and hearing Queen Latifah share her experiences. She is truly a role model for all people.

Jim Carey is such a character. His personality truly is brought out in his personal pictures where he takes pictures with "quotes" he has made up. Something about his word...his favorite word "BOING" is something I do not understand. But I still find him and his work absolutely hilarious.

Tonight, I decided to go back into my twitter account and look for a different person to follow. After talking with Dr. Garcia, I realized that I did not have a professional person I was following and learn from. I ended up following Daniel H. Pink because I was intrigued by his book __A Whole New Mind__. I browsed his website and read his twitters and articles. His article "Can we fix it? is the right question to ask" reaffirmed my own beliefs and teachings. By asking 'can we do it?' allows more room for doubt which is a cushion for collaboration and endless possibilities and flexibility. I can't wait to read more tomorrow.

This afternoon as I was browsing through my twitter page, I realized that Daniel Pink's mind is truly innovated and open ended. He seeks new venues and alternatives to solving problems or coming up with new ideas. There was a video he had placed on his site regarding folks at Volkswagen and Fun Theory creating a slide to help people down and into the subway. I thought it was an awesome idea. I enjoyed the facial expressions of the passengers.

I am not sure if I understand the use and purpose of twitter. While looking through Pink's twiiters and articles he has poste on his webpage, I seem to think of less and less twitter and more and more articles.

Jim Carrey's website has some pretty neat sound and technical effects. I did not know that M. Carrey was nominated for Bes Celebrity/Fan Website for the 14th annual Webby Award...of ocourse I did not know that such an award even existed. I get a sense of enlightment and carefree spirit from Mr. Carrey. This is how life should be...taking things light and not worrying too much about the little things.

Read more about Queen Latifah this afternoon. Nothing new. Following these famous stars is something that I have a hard time "connecting" with because their world and my world are so different. Maybe its me? I don't know.

I guess when you are Pink, you got to love books!

As I continue to follower my three people, it hits me that...yes, Daniel Pinks has dinner with his friends (as he twitted) That they are just like me at a human being level. They have families and friends. They hung out with their buddies and have gatherings or events. They laugh and cry just like me. They all value family and friends and of course their profession. So regardless of their profession and FAME, our needs and neccessity are similar.
