Makes wonder if social media can be used for evil and how ..

I tried to use my social media power for good and to help Cambodian children. I’m hoping that the collective power of social media networks can leverage the America’s Giving Challenge which ends next week.

When the Challenge comes to close 1/31, I will be doing a workshop with poverty lawyers on social media and am hoping to to share some great screen captures ….

BTW, Ed Schipul did an awesome presentation on social fundraising – definitely worth a look.

And, even better, he helped pitched my cause from the podium – along with Frozen Pea Fund!

Now that’s using both online and offline social media power for good!

You go on to say that “Social media tools are built to connect individual voices to a community.” Here’s where I see a disconnect: from this description, it appears that enterprise software and social media tools end up doing the same thing. Since I suspect that’s not your argument, could you elaborate more on what the differences actually are?

By the way, was great to meet you on Twitter, and hope we can get together here in Boston sometime.

You could have written the sales letter for my new product. In fact I’d like to quote some of the text from this post if it’s okay with you.

This is not a shameless plug, but an advanced notice to those of you who hold similar views.

I have written a piece of software that contains ~ 600 Social Media sites. It’s a power tool for those of you who are interested in promoting your voice and your vision to the world.

It is not a spam tool. But a ‘productivity tool’ that you can use to increase your ‘Personal Power’.

I was inspired by the 8th Habit…
“Find Your Voice And Inspire Others To Find Theirs…”

Chris, I’d like to offer you an evaluation copy for your review. You don’t have to review it publicly if you don’t want to. But I think given the content of this post, you’ll appreciate what it can do.

All I ask is that if you do take me up on my offer… Use Its Power for Good!

You can email me at the email address attached to the post.
