The most amazing thing happened to me today! I had a Twitter moment and it was cool! It all happened at a normal run of the mill business social mixer hosted by Middleburg Bank. As I mingled through the crowd I couldn’t help but to talk about social media and how it was changing the way I did business. As always I got a little excited about social media but felt that a few people just didn’t get it. Kind of like trying to explain how good a steak tastes to a vegetarian( or a mac to a windows user). Needless to say this was not going to be an easy sell since most of the participates did not have a Facebook account and had no idea how Twitter and blogging were changing the world. As I sat in the back of the lounge and sipped my red wine I heard my name get called out. “Chuck Rifae you won a $50 gift certificate to Tuskies!” Wow… I have never won a door prize at any of these business mixers! So, I did what all Twitter pioneers do. Ya… you guessed it! I snapped a pic and tweeted about it! Now normally that would be the end of the story but not today, Not in Twitter land! No sooner then I hit send. I got a huge hit from my buddy Doug (thank you Doug I owe you a happy hour drink!). Less then two minutes later I got an additional 2 hits and new followers in the area. All of a sudden the light bulbs went off and my crazy stories of how tweeting can connect you to the world became very real, very quickly. Yes it is good to be King….even if it’s only for a minute and after two glasses of red wine!!!

 

Take care,
