Social commentators interviewed

This summer, our team of bloggers (we prefer calling them “social commentators”) is going to interview other influencial personalities who use the Internet to express themselves.

Some of them also influence “physically”. Yes! They organize meet-ups where tweeters, facebookers and other socio-professional communicators come to shake hands and discuss in one physical location.

Stay tuned! Don’t zap too far away because it’s going to be hot. The heat of the summer may help us cook you up a mean intercourse – a discussion with these hot Internet stars involved in building prosperity.

Here – in Quebec City – we are thinking of chatting with Olivier Labbé and his Xagone teammates, organizers of SWAFF – a must-attend event taking place on the second Thursday of every month – where business personalities meet to talk web 2.0.

Also in the Old Capital City, Nicolas Roberge is an interesting person to interview. He gathered a crowd of tweeters under one roof. People who only knew eachother by their avatars now shake hands and share in the real world, thanks to Nicolas’ Tweet-Up.

In Montreal, Michelle Blanc is the indisputable godmother of social and professional communications over the net. She has the eye of an eagle when it comes to finding the latest useful trend – and techniques! – in socommenting.

You will probably be invited too, if you’re blogging socially and professionally.

The Power of Good Words

It doesn’t cost much to just tweet a kind word of appreciation to someone.

This simple, little gesture of less than 140 characters that encourages this person to continue contributing to the healthy growth of our society…

The sole fact of acknowledging the benevolence of a fellow tweeter, who is involved in humanitarian endeavours, can lead to a great deal: they will feel a sense of accomplishment for their positive actions, their motivation will be boosted and the whole Twittosphere will witness this expression of recognition.

If it generated a movement, then let’s all go for it! Good words can act as nuts and bolts, consolidating the structure of our socioeconomic prosperity.
