Yes, Twitter is a great tool for connecting people. But what if it didn't stop there? What if it could make a positive impact to change people's lives?
I had the privilege of getting to know Mark Horvath this year & he truly is a man who is using social media to make a difference. Rather than try to fit this into a tidy blog post, you'll get a better sense of his work by reading/watching one of his most recent efforts here to learn about a young mom and her 9-year-old son who found themselves homeless for the first time.
Within a few hours, Mark found someone willing to help buy food, groceries and a special Christmas present for her son.
I can only imagine what could happen if his efforts were multiplied...

Wow, the exact same thing is happening with me right now, only through a facebook post. (and about 10 responders rather than one.)

Hey Dawn, thanks for commenting on my SCL post today. Hopefully, you'll be prepared next time you meet Jon! Hope to see you again soon around the blogs.
