At the event we write about above, virtually no one was Twittering about it - and again no traditional media or citizen media. We've got a long way to go, baby. Twitter especially needs to reach out beyond the PR and web optimization gurus - to the doctors, lawyers, plumbers and retail operators. Which is what you're about - and why we like you! Getting real folks to use social media - not just social media folks telling other social media folks (and tech folks telling other tech folks) about how cool it all is. Thanks Albert,

This whole social thing makes you see 1) how little things can help, time, $, it's less about the amount and more about the act, and 2) it does give you a sense that the human spirit is inherently good, (hope I'm not getting too sappy here). there is something about social media that makes it more than a marketplace of goods, services, and ideas. It's also a movement of sorts. This is why I believe it's not a fad, or new form of direct mail, it's a different way to look at human interaction. All the best to you both.
