What’s Up with that Brother? Chris Gardner publishes road map to Pursuit of Happyness in new book
June 17, 2009
Up early enough to catch morning radio, we found a treat while listening to Lorraine J White (@lorraine1380), morning show host at Atlanta’s WAOK 1380. She conducted an interview with Chris Gardner who’s life unfolded before us on the big screen in Pursuit of Happyness starring Will Smith. One of the saddest movies of all times was the best story of potential we’ve ever seen in life and on screen. It resonated with audiences because people have found themselves starting over a time or two. Gardner told Lorraine his new book, Start Where You Are: Life Lessons in Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, could be considered a road map to the pursuit of happyness. The interview was short and sweet, over before we could finish this post, but Gardner left a few jewels to think about. “Plan B sucks,” siad Gardner. No one really wants to do plan B, where you really want to be is plan A.” He also remarked at how passion drives people who do what they love. According to the interview, the new book is already a best seller. Spread the buzz.

Twitter Me This: Are you in the next wave to join twitter?
June 16, 2009
We caught what some might call the first or second wave in joining twitter. So when we asked the question “what is twitter?” Nobody knew. Not even Google. There were not a million or so results in the search engines so we had to figure it ourselves. It wasn’t a community, just a simple way to update our status on our website and myspace. We were in the process of moving our blog a couple years ago circa 2007 I believe. The new software wanted to know our twitter account. We setup the account anyway just to grab our name and kept it moving. The lone widget for twitter barely worked if at all. There were probably new gadgets competing to do the same.
A couple of years later, twitter has almost replaced the telephone. It’s provided a vehicle for television to talk back and include the viewer’s voice. Twitter has given new meaning to real time. Today twitter is a valuable part of our website and how we spread the buzz. We were one of the first to host a “twitter viewing party for popular TV shows.” Now television is looking at how to build a viewer metric based on twitter.
In a recent weekend, a client rented our local twitter account for co-branding of their comedy club. During that same time with a break from tweeting, we spent the time developing a twitter strategy for one of the largest African American networking organizations, FraserNet’s PowerNetworking which will launch twitter as a customer service and communication tool for their upcoming conference in Atlanta.
Yes we took sides in the Ashton Kutcher vs CNN race to a million followers. More importantly, we joined the few on mission to help save a life in finding a possible donor for little Jasmina Anema. From a simple tweet, we met and connected with Tamu Townsend having just lost her brother who tweeted about their fight to find a donor. Together we tweeted and launched a twitter campaign to reach African Americans with “How Being African American Can Help Save A Life.” Months later thanks to everyone searching, tweeting, facebooking, campaigning, and testing – a donor was found.
Yet, people are still asking “what is twitter?” Once joined, they ask “where is everyone?” When we first joined there was no one to make it simple. Tweeting was trial and error. We learned the hard way how to answer “what are you doing?” Some things people just don’t want to know. However, we’ll tell you again. Yes you need to twitter. If you answered a recent questions with “I don’t know.” You definitely need to twitter. So get ready the next wave is coming. So that its not a wipeout for you, we’ve put together our “Twitter One Sheet” to get you tweeting in the twittersphere.
In it we answered the first question of how to answer “what are you doing,” and a few more that will follow. Plus we shared a few tips from the many questions we receive daily about twitter, such as how to graduate to mobile and other applications to make twitter more interactive so you can watch the world.
Enjoy and we’ll see you in the tweets. follow @DryerBuzz | follow @myATLevents | create a buzz with @thePitchBlast
