Twitter

Today I’m highlighting @SarahCooley as my #FollowFriday. #FollowFriday is a way Twitter users point out their favorite folks to follow.

Sarah went from someone on the periphery of my social media scene to one of my best digital friends, which to me is what Twitter is all about.

Why follow Sarah? On most days she tweets a friendly good morning, she’s an expert in community management and blogging platforms, she’s a vegan with great recommendations on NYC eateries, and she had a full-time career in social media before she had a quarter life crisis!

(Also, she helped to kindle my unhealthy addiction to fashion scarves.)

But, enough from me – let’s hear from Sarah!

@krisis: How do we know each other?

@SarahCooley: Wow, this is a long story ;) But I first met you at a planning meeting for #BlameDrewsCancer.

[What Sarah declines to mention is that she was part of our Ground Control team (along w/@amanda_nan) when I went skydiving in 2009.]

@k:How do you use Twitter?

SC: I use it for business and for personal. Lately I’ve really been enjoying that so many of my non-techy friends are using Twitter.

It has been helpful to me in two ways. #1, so that I can see how people that aren’t early adopters use Twitter, which helps me to be better at my job. #2, because now my friends understand so much more about me and what I do, since they use Twitter too.

@k: What’s the coolest thing that’s happened to you because of Social Media?

SC: I don’t know if I can pick just one story. So many different things have happened to me because of social media, but I am the most thankful for how it has shaped my career. [Read more…] about #FollowFriday: @SarahCooley
