It all started with a simple little Tweet...

Have you read StephSoccerGA's blog My un-love letter to Twitter?  This is precisely how I felt.  She wrote:
I feel like Twitter is like the friend that I tell myself I should probably be in a relationship with because they have so many great qualities but I just can't seem to find the passion for.
My thoughts precisely.  What is it going to do for me? What do I have to say to it?  Apparently, a lot.

It all started with a simple little tweet, well, not even a tweet, actually an add.  In class on Monday, as I was messing with my Twitter account, I added Springfield Little Theatre to follow.  The next day, a call came. I saw on my caller ID it was from the Springfield Little Theatre.  I had two ideas on what this call could be: 1.  Wow are they personal! Calling to thank me for following them on Twitter.  2.  Maybe I won tickets because I was the 500th follower!  Either way, I was excited.

The call was from the SLT Director of Development and Marketing, Kim Garwitz (also a fellow Rotaract member).  Kim ask if I would be interested in being a member of the Associate Board of Directors for SLT. 

Umm, yes please. 

If you know me at all, you know how much I love be active in our community and am a HUGE fan of the arts.  Now, I am going to an informational meeting on Wednesday on joining the Associate Board of Directors.  Unfortunately, I will have to miss class (is 'Twitter made me do it,' a good excuse?).

So, even though I begrudgingly used Twitter, within a day, it had practical and positive impact on my professional life.  Apparently, I do have a passion for the great qualities Twitter possesses.
