Twitter brings out the Sun

April 28, 2009 By 8 Comments

I don’t claim to know why everyone uses Twitter, but I can certainly suggest (beyond SEO, traffic or promotion of any kind) why you should.

For inspiration. To feel connected.  For advice.

This morning, I awoke to another cloudy, rainy day.  Desperate to avoid another Monday (or, as it turns out, my early Tuesday), I jumped on Twitter and said,

“Anyone have any sunshine to share?”

Wouldn’t you know – there were A LOT of people willing to spread a little sunshine. (and a few who wished they could but didn’t have any to spare.)

@luannarodham decided to make me laugh (and she did!)She wrote: @ExtraordMommy Here’s something funny. My 7yr. boy says that he can tell girl dogs from boy dogs because girl dogs have eye brows.

@GaneshiX offered : @ExtraordMommy This fresh cup of coffee is awfully sunshiny to me! :D

@4thQtrCoach flattered: @ExtraordMommy Here’s some sunshine. Our friend @DixieDynamite says YOU are a great #stl connector!

and my new friend @NTFFC  (No Time For Flash Cards) sent the sun right over: @ExtraordMommy Here is some sun for you ! http://tinyurl.com/d9hg8s

cimg7428As soon as I went to her site, I decided a good copy-cat project was in order and Delaney couldn’t wait to get started.

All I needed was a paper plate, some glue, construction paper and scissors. Thank heavens I had it all.

Voila!  Instant Sunshine!

 

I was so excited we had this sunshiney Mommy-Daughter time, I started singing the song on NoTimeForFlashCards’ site.  And Delaney couldn’t help but be drawn in.

Friends – use Twitter for anything!  Ask for computer advice, request jokes, tell a story, MAKE FRIENDS.

I am. And I LOVE it.

    That is sooo sweet! You’re right… you can find plenty of sunshine on Twitter. It’s funny how connected you can be out in the middle of nowhere. When people say they don’t “get” Twitter, it’s stories like this one that we should pass along.

    Thanks Danielle!!

    Oh oh my god she is so cute ! How do you stand it? I would never put down the video camera! You did a wonderful job with the sun and her version of the song is way way better than the original.

    I love Twitter, too! For sharing, expressing, learning, connecting, and sometimes just for the laughs! I seriously think people shouldn’t knock it ’till they try it. :)
