Connected and Changing the World....one tweet at a time

If you have ever wondered why we need Facebook and Twitter or why some prefer one over the other, for me the answer is simple and played out tonight on Twitter. It's true I go to Facebook to enjoy the holiday pictures of your kids building snowmen but tonight's Kanye West speech on Twitter (or as I call it the Kanye experience) was truly EPIC! For me as a Social/Digital Media professional working at the GRAMMYs, tonight was the very best of how each serves a different purpose and how we are connected like never before.

We, not me or you alone - but we have the ability to connect, agree, disagree and use our collective energies to change the world.

Regardless of what you I think of Kanye, he picked the correct platform - Twitter to seize the moment and declare his desire to change the world. Not to worry if it works, he will build a Facebook community to gather the collective energies...but experiencing the Kanye "speech or come to Jesus moment" in real-time on twitter was magical.
