I have been very lax with this site - but your article caught my eye. It may interest folks to read a feature from my blog on the subject of leadership - it contains a reference to an interesting study on human behavior that certainly underscores why Twitter apparently works for people. It's called "What's Your Fear Factor In Life and it's located at: http://tristansepinion.blogspot.com/2008/05/last-several-weeks-have-been-tipping.html

Personally, I think I'd prefer to save a whole lot of time and make the leap to telepathy when the technology caches up - I have enough to do in any given day!! Thanks for the tutorial - it's informative and you never know...maybe down the road...for now, I fear it could be another worm hole - I can hardly tap into Biznik enough (new years resolution?! :-).

Warm Regards, Tristan Benz Maiden America

Brian,

Carol (Baby Chaleco) just emailed a link to your blog here - WOW! I'm now twice taken aback at this kind of TOTAL surprise (Shelly at My Spoiled Rotten Baby did a blog after a small show we did in Bellevue and I was utterly shocked!).

Seriously, I am touched - not just for these kind words - but that you and your wife are who you are and totally 'got' what I'm about is just what I need at this time. I recently lost a loved one and have had some experiences that make me question what kind of a "dent" I'm really able to make in the world beyond my own doorstep. Truly, it's in connecting with others who also care that WE will make this difference, together! Thank you both for being a 'high note' for me, as well.

Just as you hope to find people with passion and a great attitude when you walk a tradeshow floor, I hope to inspire and connect from the other side of that table. I see a lot of long, tired faces - faces of people interested in their freebies. I always look at them as opportunities - to get past that facade and tap into what's inside a person. You and your wife were NO CHALLENGE for me ;-). ALL the old sayings are true - what comes around, goes around, indeed.

Thank you - now I have a whole new site to learn about, as well! WR, Tristan
