Twitter always amazes me. I came across this new video by futurist Jason Silva, posted today on Huffington Post. And as with all his other videos (remember this one?), I liked it so much that I shared it with my Twitter followers.
As with any celebrity figure on Twitter, I certainly don’t expect a reply – that would be totally unreasonable, considering how many followers they have, constantly sending them messages or mentioning them. But when and IF they have a moment, to take the time to acknowledge your tweet, I find myself continually taken aback, floored. That’s what happened with Shirley Manson, Clint Mansell, David Usher and Kirstine Stewart.
Today I got this response to my tweet.
Like, wow!
Never even thought of tweeting his video out to invoke a response. Just wanted to get the word out and let my followers know that Silva has a twitter account, where they too, could follow him.
But to get an acknowledgement from a free-thinker I so admire! I would hate to think what I’d be like if i met him in real life. Probably reduced to a star-struck puddle on the floor.
How wonderful that we live in an age where we are able to connect with those who inspire us so easily.
