I also appreciate a random tweet from a total stranger. This tweeter liked an article I wrote for Examiner.com. That 47 character note plus re-tweets tripled my daily article traffic. Given that Examiner's earnings (like so many other web-writing-gigs) are largely traffic-based, the bump was a pleasant surprise.
I also just cracked open a book on the history Family, Sex and Marriage in England*
that was recommended to me by a friend of my friend, through a chain of "please send me your best reading recommendations on this topic" emails. Forty pages into the book, I can already see why this text comes so highly recommended, yet it turned up in none of my earlier searches.(*The book is material for this fall's Sociology course...)Love. The. Power. Of. Networks.
What are you thankful for this week?
I love the blogger community, too! Everyone is so nice and supportive and wonderful. If only everyone could be like that. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this. I can't tell you how many times people have helped me out and/or answered questions that were driving me nuts on twitter. Part of what got me into Twitter in the first place years ago was Paul Smith's @twitchhiker project - he wrote a great book "Twitchhiker: How One Man Travelled the World By Twitter" if you're interested in reading about it (I may or may not appear... *ahem*) :) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Twitchhiker-How-Travelled-World-Twitter/dp/1849530742
