@GaryVee could be the poster child for the revolution we talk about here at Twitter Handbook.

After his awesome keynote at New Media Expo, I jumped on stage and grabbed this Twinterview:

@mwesch used social media tools to turn what could have been a boring university lecture class into an experience that harnessed the power of students knowledge, connections and imagination.

His views on education are refreshing. The outcome from the class is fascinating.

While watching this video, I kept thinking of more ways that a small group of people can do more than we had imagined.

I look forward to seeing your comments about how you will use this in your network, relationships, groups, business and life.

Please put your @ handle in your comment so we can follow you on Twitter.

Way to go @coachDeb

@Rick_Butts shared this fun video

Twitter Whore Lisa Nova

When someone says “help me understand this Twitter thing” I always point them to the Common Craft video

@coachDeb and I both reached 1500 followers this evening. And we did it in a creative, game-playing, contest promotion way that brought about much debate, dialouge and kudos all at the same time. Overall - it brought a LOT of other people not only followers as well - but solid connections made as a result.

Some thought we were in a competition, perhaps the prizes that @coachDeb gave away made that an easy assumption to make. Others got the notion that we just want to add followers that we won’t pay attention to.

Actually, we have had a lot of fun adding people to the list that we FOLLOW. Not just to get more followers in return (though that’s nice too). We know that following, reading posts, linking out to the blog or home page and engaging in conversation will bring the real benefit.

One friend @AdamDesAutels got into the spirit of the game and commented on how everyone benefits from being social on a social network. Adam created a Twitter Video about this “cocktail party on steroids” as one Follower called tonight’s fun game.

Enjoy his video - and be sure to follow him on Twitter - since he’s shown that he really “gets” what Twitter is all about - making REAL connections online.

Then comment below on what YOU think is the best way to attract followers to connect with them.
