#ControlTV: Mike Responds
Wow, so this morning I got an email from Mike, aka the guy sitting next to me on the couch from the #controlTV loft the other day. Looky looky!!!
Just incase the print is too small for your nerdy little eyes ... it says, AND I QUOTE!!!
Subject: turn a new leaf
Message: So, I wanted to say, I think we had a good chat on Sunday, despite the fact that I was distracted for 90% of it due to the Jets game being on TV.
While I knew about social media before talking to you and the potential for social media to explode(and I am sure that it will/ is now) I just hadn't made it a part of my life.
Part of my argument was "just for show", I agree with most of the stuff you were saying and I see the huge benefits of that medium to connect people worldwide!. By arguing against it, devil's advocate, I learned a lot more than I otherwise would have.
While I don't use twitter often, I really want to get into starting my own business, and seeing what you did, and the potential to meet new people who have similar interests that live locally (and globally) is the part that really gets me hooked.
I am not hiding the fact that I am jealous of your business thus far, it made me realize that I need to get on board.
I know some people who would be interested to check out your site and I'll definitely recommend them to it!
Talk to you later
Mike Townsend
First off, wow, bless your heart - thank you for this email. Took a lot of balls to come play in my court. HA! =) Again, I wasn't there to knock anyone about not "getting" social media. It is just my passion, and I can't help it. There are only 9 different types of people in this world, I am the person that "stirs the pot." I just enjoy educating people on what the nerds are currently doing, and just how FAAARRRRRRRRRRRR this is going to take everything. I mean dude, TV as you know it? DONE-ZO!!! So what does that mean? Why has so much changed? I won't bore you with all of it right now, but the recession is a BIGG part of this all. It is just the greatest time to be alive. The greatest time to be young, and the greatest time to take a risk. I will happily sit down with you anytime to tell you more about social media. We can even tweet, skype, and Ustream it. But we'll have to use the Ustream on my phone since yours doesn't have internet. HA!
Much love, Mike. Appreciate the email.
See, even non-nerds are uniting ... we've just got every based covered round these parts! W00t! W00t!
