Tweetrepreneur: Emergence of the Twitter Entrepreneur

Seeing the advancement of micro-blogging and the expansive use of twitter it is no surprise that we see more twitter tools being developed supporting this phenomenon. Is it possible that people would be interested in what you're actually doing? At first this might sound insane but when you begin the journey of posting your first tweet, it is as if new doors open to express yourself, to stay in touch and to just listen what others are saying.

What struck me is that not only is Twitter used for social marketing, informing clients, social conversations but quite possible we could see the emergence of the Tweetrepreneur (Twitter Entrepreneur). Where this could lead to is yet to be seen as we explore possibilities of how this media could change the lives of people.

Nomadic Marketing Dinner

Last night I presented at the UCT Graduate School of Business Nomadic Marketing Dinner at Doppio Zero. With our hosts Dave Duarte and Max Kaizen it was an evening of networking with forward thinking individuals. I presented on the Recontructed project and how we are using various technologies with ex-drug addicts and gangsters as well as women and mothers from local communities on the Cape Flats. The technologies that has the largest impact on the reconstructed team is Blogging, MXit, FaceBook and twitter. The evening continued with exciting talks by MarkAnthony Zimmermann from the Broccoli Project and De Waal Steyn from Die Burger.

Definitely an evening well spent and looking forward to collaborations with many of the guests from the Nomadic Marketing Dinner.
