It’s been six days since I posted so I thought I’d check in:
First thing’s first. Holy snow. I’ve only seen more snow than this once in my life — winter of 1993 in Syracuse, NY. Wow.
Second, a little reflection on Wednesday’s Tweetup in Newark. It’s worth noting the atmosphere of the DelTweet event matched perfectly with the themes I introduced in my “Reflections on a Few Days Away” post. In attendance were diverse political luminaries like the Governor, Rep. Kovach, Charlie Copeland, Treasurer Velda Jones-Potter and Newark City Councilman Paul Pomeroy, media types like WDEL’s Rick Jensen, Doug Rainey from The Business Ledger, and a wide variety of business interests, including representatives of the State and County Chambers, PR-types from major DE companies and many others.
And there was a great spirit of togetherness in the room, the idea that we were all united in something that was going to change the way we operated the government and the economy. I even gave the Governor a hug.
That kind of buy-in for social media in Delaware was awesome, and is a big step toward a sustainable new economy. A big thanks to hosts Ken Grant, Major Highfield, The Borg, Maya Paveza, Whitney Hoffman and Kildare’s in Newark and to Markell staffers Brian Selander and Felicia Pullam for pulling all of that off.
Third, (and speaking of sustainable new economy), part of the reason I’ve been so quiet on here lately is that I’ve been working on a new project that’s going to help take these concepts of Economy 2.0 to the next level. But that’ll have to wait for another day.
