Two Tweets to Make You Think
I came across a couple of tweets that I wanted to share with Technola readers.
The first is from Andy Carvin. He was tweeting from the PublicMediaCamp held recently in DC.

Although I suspect Andy was referring to natural disasters, what struck me was how true this is for most types of disasters, including funding cuts and bad publicity. When a disaster hits, you need to act quickly. You don't want to spend most of your time figuring out who your supporters are.
The second is from Ashley Schweitzer, which she tweeted from a Social Media Breakfast in Minnesota.

Yes, we are all trying to keep the lights on today, but social networking should be seen as an investment. You won't get a giant payback immediately. You need to commit to it and use it to connect with other people. It's from the relationships that you build that good and often unexpected opportunities come your way. - K
