The power of networks
Sometimes you’re just in the right place at the right time. To be a part of something new, something genuinely inspiring.
That happened to me yesterday as my twitterstream flowed by on-screen. An intriguing request for assistance popped up from David Armano - that’s @Armano in twitterland.
“Hey everyone. I am going to need a very BIG favor from you. It’s going to be asking a lot. I’ll let you know more very soon.”
A short while later he followed up with a link to his blog with a request to help a young family in a difficult situation.
What happened next was nothing short of remarkable. Over the next 24 hours David’s network went absolutely nuts raising nearly US$15,000 in the aid of a family none of us knew.
A great article here from Steve Hall on the whole thing.
