Connection Week on Twitter

As many of you know I have just published my ebook about Twitter and continue to add to it daily.  I talk a lot about connections and giving value.  So I came up with an idea this morning to try and offer both to my Twitter colleagues.  I posted a tweet that read: “What type of person are you looking to connect with on Twitter?”  The idea is that for the people who responded I could try and hook them up through our other followers.  So @TwinkieMommie responded with “Other Moms/Dad’s of twins.”  I sent out her request which got a response from @Sundi_MOZ: “Me! B/B 8 yrs old!”  Connection made.  To help demonstrate how valuable Twitter can be and to try and promote people connecting with each other, I have decided to make this “Connection Week” on Twitter.  So, from Monday, July12th through Friday, July 16th if you tell me on Twitter (@KidsAreHeroes) what type of person you are trying to connect with, I will try and tweet about it.  Use the #connectionweek hash tag, and please give us a follow if you have a mind to.  (I like to connect too ya know.)  If I get too many requests or if any are of a spammy nature I may not be able to get to them all, but feel free to leave a comment here as to what type of person you are trying to connect with for the other readers of this blog.

Also, if through the #connectionweek process you do get connected, please tweet the persons’ id(s) you connected with using the same hashtag.  (i.e. @KIdsAreHeroes I connected with @JohnHaydon and @DCPhotog #connectionweek)  I’ll tweet that too.

Start connecting!!
