Friendships, Twitter and Clogging

I have to be honest before Twitter, I had no idea how talented I was at marketing.  I am a mother of 2 girls and solopreneur.  I am too busy manufacturing my products to get out and meet people. Twitter has allowed me into people's homes and minds all over the world.  This has been huge to put it mildly.  I was thinking today tweeting is like real time blogging. I might even call it "Clogging" customer service + blogging = Clogging.  I like it, so I will be talking about this word on Twitter like this #clogging.

The other thing I did not realize until using Twitter is that I am funny (according to others). I am meeting Zane (@zaneology and @turnhere) on April 20th in NYC at the http://www.140conf.com/ ; Here she talks about me without even saying my name http://www.turnhere.com/blog/events-backstage-pass/social-media-tips-for-local-businesses/ .  I never thought I wasn't funny mind you but I am from New Jersey and quite frankly you better have a good sense of humor if you want to survive in the Tri-state area.  I will also tell you my English teachers all gave me C's in High School, perhaps my lack of interest in their talky talk was why?  I had other things on my mind and they were way more fun and creative. (schools wake up!)

Twitter has so many great side effects, one being friendships.  I have met some of the smartest, most creative, savvy, kind, geeky,futuristic people on the planet.  These people really understand networking and generosity like I have never seen in my life.  I feel like Mork from Ork and his giant egg ship finally came for him.  Yes I am 40 something.  Sidenote: I think that Applebee's stole Mork's fashion for their uniforms (suspenders and weird buttons) I digress, my point is that sooner or later the Mother Ship is going to come for you.  Are you going to be smart enough to climb aboard? http://www.140conf.com/

I am off for more Clogging! I feel like shoe shopping now...?
