People That Get It

After reading a recent Chris Brogan newsletter, @chrisbrogan, I decided to take his suggestion to offer up praise on some people that are doing it right.  These are people that you should get to know and interact with on Twitter. They will enhance and improve your experience.

@NursebevW – Bev is a person that knows her true calling is to help others; that is why she became a nurse and why she has founded Crafters with Love. You can help her causes by following her, retweeting information and helping spread the word about her worthwhile charity. She is a wonderful and deserving person that you should get to know.  I serve as President of the Board of Directors for Crafters with Love and I am honored to serve with Bev and our team!

@JimHunt – Jim is a dynamic member of our #PositivePosse on Twitter, a connector, pilot and BIG Florida State football fan. He focuses his energy and efforts on connecting and promoting others as well as teaching individuals and corporations how to properly use social media for these purposes. We can all learn from Jim and I encourage you to connect with him and get to know him.

@Aceconcierge – Suzie is a Virtual Assistant extraordinaire and a great resource for business owners. If you want to engage with someone that is using social media to promote and build their business in a professional and successful way, get to know Suzie. She can help you focus on your business by taking over some of the tasks that are wasting your time. Suzie’s clients love her and for good reason, she get’s the job done!

@Mickeyj57 – Mickey is a television sales representative with a beautiful family; luckily the children took after their mother   Don’t worry, Mickey would say the same thing!  Mickey has turned a passion and a video camera into an incredible social media experience.  He has started producing and posting Mick’s Picks; short video segments that highlight local professionals and even more important, segments that salute our brave men and women of the Military.  Thank you Mickey, sincerely.  You are doing incredible work reminding us all of the debt we owe to these men and women.

@MrBusinessGolf – Scot Duke IS Mr. Business Golf.  If you are a golfer, or striving to be one, Scot can teach you how to combine the two into a winning formula!  One of the things about Scot that impresses me so much is his grasp of social media combined with the knowledge of how to form long lasting relationships.  Add this to the fact that he is a prolific blog writer and spam hatter, and you have an individual that is working to spread the word about how to properly make online and offline connections.

@RobCairns – Rob, although he is an ardent Dallas Cowboys fan, is a great guy    Rob is an Information Technology (IT) consultant that also works to promote social media and those of us that are involved in this new media.  I have tremendous respect for anyone that lays out his blog plans for 2010 on his blog.  He is putting himself out there and asking us all to hold him accountable.  Great Job Rob.  I encourage you to to follow and engage Rob; and please give him a hard time about the Cowboys!
