• Write a sentence about it. • Count the words you have written. • Edit the sentence until you have 25 words

exactly. Notice how your idea changes as you edit and how your feelings change with each rewrite.

It’s a lot simpler than we think.

We think ourselves in circles out loud,

All of the cool web tools, social networks, and third party apps are absolutely nothing compared to real people connecting and making the world better.

“Six degrees of separation” Theory should be decreasing its number. The people who are using Social Networks are increasing and opening their windows each other.

Being true nudges:

Expecting you devote the same, 

endure and stand.

Sharing authentically invites:

reflect unconditionally, unreservedly.

invites reciprocity

of mutual benefit:

community, humanity, peace.

Be nice. Say please. Be generous. Take time to teach others what you know and let them show you what they know.

Say thank you.

Social media allowed me to find and establish my unique voice and reveal my authentic self; even with fear of judgement, I have burst forth.

Social media wisdom, like all wisdom, comes from experience.

Engaged, mindful, reflective experience. Deliberate and intentional practice will yield wisdom.

Other experience need not apply.

Connect by FB with friends and family.

Twitter to spread news, follow and RT. Blog

to share and niche. Linkedin for business.

Email’s almost old.

Keeping up with my thoughts of this or that, catching up with yours-some are fun, some meaningless, some are deep or full of useful information.

Ever find yourself in

situations where you’d like

to contribute, but others

monopolized the

conversation? Social media

levels the field giving voice

to the voiceless. Avil Beckford

Social media gives voices to individuals marginalized and ignored by traditional media, enabling the world to hear these voices for the first time in history.
