Someone @'d me today.
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 07:48PM Very funny moment today.
And now for a break from our regular programming to bring you this really funny moment.
I was tweeting with power and vigor. I had just finished watching my 85Broads virtual panel on Twitter, and I felt informed and ready. I can do this! Still a little unsure why, but what they hey! I'm game. Let's give this a whirl.
Tweet, tweet, tweet. Wahoo. 25th tweet, 54th tweet, look at me go. I'm a veteran, with each key stroke, feeling more confident.
And then it happened.
"@kelleengriffin, can we interview you?"
OMG, I was @'ed. Someone @ me!
Now what do I do?
This is the moment when I usually hear Elmer Fudd in my head saying, "be werry, werry quiet, we're wabbit hunting!"
These newfaggled thingamaggigs made we wonder what executives all over the world must feel like as technology zooms forward. There is an APP for everything these days - there is a new gadget that goes with said APP, and another gadget, and another. Do we feel vulnerable? Does the speed of change invigorate us or shut us down?
I hope it's the former. All I can say is jump in, the water's warm, and the ride is pleasant. Our brains' like learning new things, and it's fun to show our willingness to step into the new, model the surprise and challenge, and marvel at our own reactions to growing new skills.
Banner day for me. Turns out you can teach an old dog, a few new tricks!
