Re: Social Media for Social Causes Study: The Results

Lisa McClure — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 13:28:45 -0000

Just recently I asked for help within my social network at Twitter to spread the word about something I am very passionate about, Braille Literacy. I used a cli.gs link http://cli.gs/sccm so I could track traffic to the link.

People were really responsive and helpful to our cause to save a very special and unique school which provides blind and visually impaired children music education with a full braille curriculum (the only school of it's kind in North America).

Our requested donation of $25.00 is a small investment and we provide links to student performances which really speak for themselves.

It's offensive that we have to beg for money to save the only music school for blind kids which provides braille music and GM, AIG etc etc etc get bailouts.

I too am completely guilty of this. I can really relate to feeling shy or being fearful of controversy, of not feeling ready to expose or even express. I guess my new mantra will be the Emerson quote "Do the thing and you shall have the power." Jump in and do it and with time it will become more natural, more conversational and what a treat for those who do put time into writing posts with thought and care.

Thank you for the post. Your share embolded me to share! Cheers!

I have been thinking about why commenting is so powerful and I couldn't stop thinking about a bit in a movie I saw. Fortunately the very clip of the movie is on YouTube (YAY YouTube)

Here is the piece: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

It's what we life for.

Re: Using Twitter Search for Business

My technique is Saved search to find the conversation and "Twitter Gifting" to engage.

If there is a topic, keyword, issue that may be the key to finding conversations for myself or my client we use Saved Search and have access to them right on the Twitter page. That is for finding our community and conversation.

But then add on what we now call "Twitter Gifting" so when you find something that those people will especially enjoy you @ them and share. Showing you listened to their stream, maybe even read their profile and found something they would find interesting.

People are so startled when you care, makes it kind of easy.

Re: What is your biggest distraction?

Lisa McClure — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 09:18:10 -0000

Distractions? Me? Never? YES! I am plagued with them. Instead of thinking in terms of an eight hour day which will just frustrate me I think in time chunks. I also take into consideration the task and what is required in terms of concentration. For example, in the morning between 4-6 am is my quiet time. I use this time to focus on activities that take my full attention. Writing, problem solving, learning new skills is for time when I can concentrate. Items that are more rote like billing, running reports, I save for times when the house has more noise in it.

One thing that has changed (probably forever) is that I rarely have a chance to do things at the time of inspiration so having a small notebook to capture inspiration at the moment so I can act on it at a later time.
