Well, I touched down in San Diego this morning with a renewed sense of inspiration. I think you all may remember my entry from about a month ago To Tweet or not to Tweet, where I pondered the power and purpose of Twitter. I have seen the light.
Twitter is probably the single most powerful social media tool to date. Best of all, I have been making so many new friends! Not only the smart, lovely, kind, and supportive ladies (and gents) I met at the conference, but others across the country who have interesting ideas, witty commentary, and great advice.
To talk about adulthood we need more than just blog -- we need to start conversations. That is why, over the course of a few months, and with the encouragement of a new tribe of blog-tastic gurus, my goal for this site will be to talk more with each other, engage more, learn and laugh more.
Twitter is a remarkable celebration of literacy in 140 characters or less. The way I see it is that literacy has to be one of the, if not THE, major perk of adulthood. We must embrace the opportunity share ideas and it is almost our duty to create meaningful discourse with all the tools we have available: speaking, writing...and tweeting.
So, my friends, hopefully we will be hearing more from each other very soon! In the mean time, check out some of the pictures from our conference. Nicole (@TheFickleNickle) and I really had a blast! I can't wait until next year!
More to come, oh and yes, to answer the emails, I will post about how to make awesomely cheap flower arrangements as promised. Thanks for keeping me on track!

It was awesome meeting with you and sitting with you at lunch. I look forward to your blogs and your tweets (woot woot for twitter). And what's the cheap flower arrangements you will be posting about? You had me at "cheap" ;-)
ReplyDeleteSara, as I said in my comment on your site : your blog is awesome! (Anyone who wants some good deals: Sara is the girl to know! Get those coupons daily in your Google Reader at work so you can dream about what to buy next on the cheap.) Also, everyone be very jealous because Sara is going to BlogHER in New York in August. Maybe if we are lucky she will do a guest blog for us when she gets back. :)
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you a Bloggy Boot Camp. It was so fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a positive experience at the conference. You've inspired me to come out of my cave and try to be more technologically and socially active so... I've fired up the old commodor 64, plugged in my modem, dialed up AOL, and came here to make this comment. Baby steps ;)
ReplyDeleteThe conference was a blast! #totallylyingofcourse #aboutinthemoment #scaredoutofmymind #butinretrospectitwasfantastic :-)
