The power of social media ...

Today a friend of my wife's needed B-ve blood urgently. Getting rare blood type donor's can really be difficult. It means calling thousands of friends, sending emails, sending postings ... but the message only reaches within your social circle.

Today I found out the power of twitter. I tweeted the message that I needed bloodgroup b-ve. Within a matter of seconds, lots of people; many who I / they don't follow; spread the message. This was really heart-warming to see human kindness at its best. In the process, I also truly realized the power of social media and twitter in particular.

In this case twitter was a total #win or a #megawin
