I just got off a members-only webinar offered by the Women Presidents’ Organization titled “Economic Recovery – what does it mean for your business?” Even though I got an A+ in economics in college (many moons ago), I have to admit that trying to understand how we got into the current state of affairs from an economic perspective leaves me feeling, well, stupid. After tweeting a simple comment I interpreted from our speaker to be simply “things are looking up”, I received a barrage of responses back from people sharing their economic theories. Woah. Now I feel even MORE stupid. The whole experience led me to ponder: Where do we go to find the truth?
So suppose I want to learn about what got us into this economic mess (besides the obvious mortgage/financial fiasco – that’s not the WHOLE story…). Is there a history I could read that isn’t slanted or biased in some way? Surely, it isn’t on Wikipedia. And if it is, I’m not totally confident
The ‘technical’ description of Twitter is that it is a micro-blogging tool. You are given 140 characters to share your message, called a tweet. People follow your tweets and you are able to ‘follow’ the tweets of other people. Most of the time, when you follow someone they’ll follow you back except for celebrities or people who don’t get that’s what you’re supposed to do. For example, I follow M.C. Hammer, The Today Show, and a bunch of random people I don’t yet know. I follow them because they sound interesting, have knowledge I might want to tap, or seem like potential clients or partners.
