Edward, this is such a powerful example of what can be accomplished with a little awareness of the tools that exist today.

I identify too well with the people in this film, having gone through very similar circumstances recently. I’ve seen friends in the same situation turn themselves around and start following their dreams – a surf inspired clothing shop that bloomed overnight, a new bakery that offered up it’s business plan to the masses for critique, etc.

I am more motivated now than ever to find new and unexpected relationships through the social networks that can make my long-held dream of illustrating for children’s books and programming a reality – and it has already started to show promise with just a few tweets. It’s the right time to take chances and believe in mutual support of this amazing, diverse body of people using Twitter.

Best regards and thank you for this post.

Edward,

I have been looking for “Return on Generosity” stories and will continue to do so over the next couple of days.

It really seems like an idea and/or era of “Corporate Karma” is what’s at work here.

Thanks!

This is a fantastic story. It is great to see how Twitter can make the world a little smaller. And even better, I love to hear how creative projects get off the ground.

It sounds like the people in the film are happier in the end for having lost their jobs.

I’ve stopped telling people how Social Media changed my life because they think I’m crazy ☺ But last fall, Erik and I both found ourselves without jobs. A post on Facebook, led to coffee in Davis Square. We hadn’t spoken in 10 years. He told me about Please Feed the Animals, and asked me to come to an online chat on his blog. I did, and a woman by the name of Sally Hogshead got online and said to me “Have you tried Twitter?” Got on Twitter, and Edward Boches (whom I hadn’t spoken to in 20 years) said “so glad you’re here”.

When Erik first told me he was making the film, my tweet about it hooked him up with David Cohen (the guy in the film who changed his gender) and @virginamerica. Two tweets, my return on generosity for what Erik did for me.

Thanks, Edward, great post, as always. SO nice to connect with you again after all this time. DO write about “return on generosity”.
