Let's talk about Twitter

What the world needs now is.....
well part of the answer to this phrase is deeper connections with other people (love sweet love).

I know that it is about a year old - but Twitter is really hitting fast in our part of the world. I have to say that there has not been a new tool that has caught my attention like Twitter. it gives me a buzz to know my friend with the pink hat is getting her computer fixed or working in her garden. It helps my connectedness to my work to know that a professor whose insights I value has a new slide show up on the web. It may even help the sale of my book if I get a video or pdcast done and then mention it in Twitter - who knows how fun and connections can spread.

What does this have to do with our reinventing life group? Why not consider all being on and following each other in Twitter - then setting the intention of Twittering regularly about how we are doing with our designs, our actions etc. Using the four PAR steps we would measure our success faster and find this as a tool to get our reflections started.

So for anyone who wants to drop in with a Tweet - I am alanajames on Twitter!

All the best,
Alana
