There is a lot to learn from a distance, as you say. But isn't it time consuming to post all of those Tweets? Thanks Kimberly. There is a lot to learn from a distance, as you say.

It has inspired me to feel anger towards the greed and selfish marketing tactics that can be 'tweeted' in 140 characters or less. It has inspired me to feel warmth for those who selflessly Tweet their environmental concerns in those same few characters. It has inspired me to laugh with a Tweeted photo, put on a old song I haven't heard in ages because someone Tweeted that they were listening to it, and has given inspiration through learning of someones brand new baby that has been brought into the world because they were so excited they had to Tweet it immediately for all the world (or followers) to see. I do not always participate in the commentary as I once had. But I never regret building a Twitter profile. There's a lot to be learned from a 'distance'. ;-) You know what? twitter has been a source of various degrees of inspiration for me.
