Happy Birthday Jon Swanson

July 10, 2009 · Comments

For over three years, I’ve had a rewarding and very personal friendship with Jon Swanson. He is at the heart of a personal movement to explore being a social media chaplain. Jon is that, for me. He gives me lots of private help and encouragement. LOTS.

On Twitter, @jnswanson is a force for good. I recommend HIGHLY that you follow him and get to know him. That is, unless you don’t like genuine, intelligent, thoughtful, feeling people.

Happy Birthday, Jon. And I’ll end with some snaps I’ve taken over the last 3 years:

    Simply wonderful. I too, consider Jon and Nancy to be good friends and was thrilled when Greg and I had the chance to meet them for lunch earlier this year while on a road trip to the States. Genuine, warm, loving and kind...that's our friend Jon. Thank you, Chris, for connecting us.
  • Happy birthday, Jon, and many more birthdays and smiles!

    Happy Birthday Jon!! Chris, he looks like a guy who has JOY! It's great to have friends like this one.
  • Happy birthday, many many happy returns of the day!
  • I have a friendly question that I hope you don't take as not so.

    I went to Jon's Twitter profile and found that Jon has 1107 followers and he follows just 142 people. Be sure that I don't hold a ratio like that against people. It's their call.

    However, Twitter penalizes us for following too many people. The chance of Jon following me looks very low even if I do a tap dance followed by a magic trick. I understand that Jon will probably respond if I post @ jnswanson but that does not solve my main problem - how do I find a way to peek in on what Jon is posting without much effort.

    Unless that effort is made, then I will lose Jon from my mind, probably forever. If that is true, then why should I bother to follow Jon?

    @greg I had the same kind of reaction...
  • I'm not following. Is it a "protected tweets" kind of question?
