I have to thank Shashi Bellamkonda for nominating me for a Shorty Award on Twitter for the Community Category. I worked with Shashi at Network Solutions this summer & I really appreciate his support of my work. I always feel odd doing shameless self promotion – but I advise others to do it, so… once in awhile it’s ok.
So why do I think that I should be nominated for an award on Twitter? Over the past year I have:
- insisted that many join Twitter & taught them how to use it
- documented how I use Twitter & it’s value
- created the Twitterpacks for Community Managers to help everyone connect with each other on Twitter
- provided business cases for using Twitter
- and met many of you there! :)

You’re always welcome, Connie. If I had more than 140 characters of room, I would have included: mentor, community & brand strategy knowledge base, kind & giving, tireless and committed to the people.
So thank you right back.
