How is twitter changing the world?
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
The twitterverse of green, sustainability, CSR is rich in knowledge and resource sharing. By publishing information, promoting others, asking questions and gathering feedback, I joined a collective conversation generated on ways to improve environmental, social, and conscious business issues. United by others sharing similar interest, a single voice is expanded through the very principles that sustainability embraces: community, inclusiveness, transparency, and authentic communication.
Why'd you start tweeting?
There used to be a time when it seemed only big business could change the world. It appeared that the voice of one was crowded out by the power, might and noise of larger organizations and governments. Twitter is a pathway for a single voice to be heard globally. I began tweeting in inspiration of accelerating innovative ideas on how embracing eco awareness, eco resources, the how's and why's of sustainable living and sustainable business practices can powerfully transform our world.
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Absolutely, Twitter has changed my life! I get to participate in fantastic knowledge sharing, conversations, eco promotion. Luv it!
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Acknowledge, focus, share, speak more of the bright, innovative solutions we are seeking to address complex environmental issues.
How will the world change in the next year?
Shaking my magic 8 ball now....
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Not thanking others for retweets, mentions, introductions. Being self focused instead of engaging and community oriented.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
I hope better!
