Twitter Soup for the Soul Mashup

Twitter is described as a microblogging platform. Twitterers use the tool to push product, build brand awareness, instant message their friends, acknowledge and share links about trends and events and their most personal moments. Twitter is a mashup of brilliance, idiocy, art, confusion, hyperbole, and prayer in 140-character-or-less sound bytes.I think Twitter is even more ... Twitter is a reflection of the human soul. I've been Twittering since Sept. 8, 2007. Everything you need to know about me is contained in a bank of content there within a growing stream of some 1,750 140-character-or-less posts. My Twitter address is http://twitter.com/FrancesFlynnTho. Welcome to my soul. Copyright 2009 Frances Flynn Thorsen

Dedication Jeremiah Edward Flynn I miss him this weekend ... his birthday is Tuesday, February 25 and the family is gathering in New Jersey to celebrate. The following is from a blog post I wrote in September, 2007: My Dad used to work with words ... he is a brilliant writer and editor and he struggles with words these days ... over the last eight years his body and mind have been out of synch ... it is a frustrating consequence of Alzheimers ... and a bitter irony ... this man who taught me to talk, to count, and to read and write shares utterances that are often hard to match with the intent of his communication. My sister Linda flew up from Dallas and we have been sharing ice cream and memories .... yesterday we had a treat neither of us was prepared to hear ... Daddy spoke some special words and this time there was NO mistake about the meaning of his words ... when we parted with him for the day we hurriedly wrote his words so that we would never forget them. "No clearer satisfaction did any father ever have with the participation of two daughters like you." Copyright 2009 Frances Flynn Thorsen

Recent changes in Facebook Terms of Service ignited a firestorm and new conversation about intellectual property. A simple "Retweet" (RT) shared a nugget proffered by a respected member of the television press, Jim Long. He describes himself as a “new media soul trapped in an old Media body.” Sounds like me.

Twitter is a place where you can make a difference. You never know how many eyes will scan your text in the moments following a post, and those words are part of a massive data bank that others will visit and revisit over time. Copyright 2009 Frances Flynn Thorsen

While many real estate agents chase short sales and trying to carve their own slice of the loan modification pie, giants like Ralph Roberts are actually helping people who want to remain in their homes because it is the right thing to do. It gives me joy and satisfaction to be able to share some viralocitywith Ralph. Copyright 2009 Frances Flynn Thorsen

I used a manual typewriter in early years .. these days I cover meetings and conferences in bursts of Twitterese. I am looking forward to a release that lets me spell check. #icny is a hashtag for the Inman Real Estate Connect Conference in New York. The conversation continues even though the live event closed in mid January. Copyright 2009 Frances Flynn Thorsen

Survey results were the focus of a confab at Harvard’s Berkman Center several weeks later. Copyright 2009 Frances Flynn Thorsen
