Timewaster: Twistori

If you need to take a break, or just reset your brain, check out Twistori. The site streams the latest Twitter posts with the words “love,” “hate,” “think,” “believe,” “feel,” and “wish.” In each stream you’ll find thoughts deep and shallow, but always interesting in the way they juxtapose. For example, here’s what I caught just now on the “believe” stream:

Singing to all the songs that make my heart beat just a little faster. I believe that is what my soul really needs to remind me who I am

My abs hurt. I believe that’s a good thing.

I believe I need to get some sleep!!

Services that I believe should be combined, oil change and massages.

And so on. It’s kind of interesting to eavesdrop on a Twittering world’s zeitgeist. (Thanks to Seth Godin for the pointer.)

The ultimate in PowerPoint presentations

I’d like to say I’ve never seen anything like it, but…check it out, you will laugh.

ASAE’s Summit on Global Responsibility

I haven’t been able to attend ASAE’s Summit on Global Responsibility, which started yesterday, but I hope to sit in on some of it virtually today (in addition to the on-site gathering at the new Gaylord, there also are a number of satellite sites (none near me, alas) and you also can hook into the meeting online. Industry consultant Joan Eisenstodt is at the live meeting, and from this post, it sounds like an amazing experience so far.

Of course, ASAE and The Center’s Acronym blog is posting about it, and Jeff De Cagna has some interesting thoughts on the first day as well.

If anyone else is attending–live, remotely, or virtually–I’d love to get your perspective on both the content of what’s going on, and how the format of the meeting helps (or doesn’t help) participants to reach their goals for the gathering. So drop me an e-mail or leave a comment below. I’m curious to see if this is really as big a deal as I think it is–or could be.
