It requires some personable interaction and integrity, no? I think it’s because of untrustworthy marketing schemes that created a jaded opinion is what turned people on to social networks.

In fact I am the "guy from New York" who provided the autographed guitar from the legendary Eric Clapton and a drum head signed by members of the band U2. On Twitter I am @autographstore Twitter has allowed me to reach out to the masses of charities that are having auctions and fundraisers. I was able to help people in Hawaii and the United Kingdom because of Twitter. It does take some work and time, but the potential of reaching out and helping across the world is well worth the time. Great post Joe. Anthony Nurse Charity Fundraising Director At Autograph Store Hi Joe,

Twitter has allowed me to reach out to the masses of charities that are having auctions and fundraisers. I was able to help people in Hawaii and the United Kingdom because of Twitter. It does take some work and time, but the potential of reaching out and helping across the world is well worth the time.

Great post Joe.

It's stories like this that fuel my passion for social media. It has so much potential to do great things. When people are so connected and are able to collaborate towards a common goal, it's amazing what they can accomplish. Way to be a community leader and use the power of social media for good. Truly inspirational. That’s awesome Joe. It’s stories like this that fuel my passion for social media. It has so much potential to do great things.

Thanks for passing this along to me. I think the key point here is "the focus needs to be on building a network of meaningful contacts and getting to know the people in those networks." No matter what cause or end you seek with social media, you must be able to find a target audience to interact with. You did a great job finding those people that could help most on Twitter. I'm hoping that through my own contacts on Twitter and my blog (http://thevolunteacher.wordpress.com/), I will be able to spread the good word about the Jesuit Volunteer Corps & those students and faculty that I will be working with. Thanks again, Tom O'Keefe @tomokeefe1 Joe,

Infact, I always say that social media is the one effort in PR and Marketing, where the ROI is directly proportional to what you put in. Twitter has brought me a wealth of new, valuable friendships, an enormity of new business, and a bridge to new professional partnerships.
