To be read in one breathe…

If it were not for Twitter, I would not have met @lovelylu who besides the fact that she is a Yankee fan and a pal, she also recommended some business to us. It was through her that I met @MissBeckala who WE were able to give some business to. While I was scrolling through my feed one day, I got to know @drhli a lot better and lo and behold he becomes the editor of @PatchTweet, as well as, a really dear friend. His cohort @HenryPowderly I got to know because of our mutual love for Miles Davis. They both came to our office to discuss rolling out @PatchTweet over a year ago. Through @lovelylu I met @TwittyWoman – whom I’ve had the pleasure of networking with, as well as, dining. And then there’s @dani3boyz, whom I might have met via @TheShoeDawg way back when the first #LITweetup was founded but I couldn’t attend. BUT! Because I am such an Islander fan, that’s actually HOW I first met her and now – she’s the director of Social Media for @NYIslanders – coincidence? No: Twitter savvy. She works with @katrina_doell, and sees isles blogger Dee Karl @7thWoman who I also met at Newsday’s Twitter Think Tank, organized by my Yankee compadre @CarlCorry, who invited @PatriciaKitchen - whom I pitched the story to about Dani Muccio aka @Dani3boyz. Speaking of #LITweetup, my hats off to pal and cohort, jeff @namnum – met HIM through trying to do some good for hungry Long Islanders back in November 09. The list goes on: @nathanking @jessemac74 @matkingcol @Mel_K @PeteShelley and got to know @JodyFisher – and well, I hope you get the point. I live and my company is based ALL the way out on Long Island. But I’m just a 140 character post away from meeting these guys and then I got to meet them in person – which is about the coolest thing – and,well, this is one Short Island now. At least for me.
