And They Tell Two Friends...

So we here at good ol' team honey badger want to try a lil' experiment with social media...

Do you think it is possible to double, or potentially triple our Facebook "Likes" and Twitter followers in the next 24 hours?

We do.

And here is how...

a)  Speak to someone personally, just one person, that you haven't spoken to in a while, that you want to re-connect with, or even someone that you have NEVER met.  Use asking them to like our page (http://www.facebook.com/KaileeAndRyan) or follow our Twitter account (@KaileeRyanQ2W)  as a catalyst to have a make a personal connection, and have a brand spanking new friend in person!

(i.e. "Hi, sorry to bug you, do you mind if I ask you for a quick favour?  Could you like this page?  Thanks!  By the way, my name is Peter Parker... What's that?  You are so much like me and we should be BFFs?  OK!"

b)  Same thing, but over electronic devices, whether it's Smartphone text, BBM, Facebook chat, Twitter, ICQ,  MSN Messenger, robot carrier-pigeon.  EXCEPT, if you do it this way... you have to do it with TWO people!

Why do we want to do this?

Dramatic representation of what the world looks like when we don't relate to each other... YIKES!
Well, as we ingratiate ourselves, more and more, with electronic communication devices and platforms, the concern exists that:

a) Despite being more connected, we actually unknowingly limit our group of friends (some say to around 50 people), despite the fact that we "add" friends daily.  In other words the more we expand our connections, the more complacent we become in actually interacting with these people.

b) The more we use these devices, often the less we communicate and connect with each other personally.

So there you have it, friends and fans of Team Honey Badger, as we work our bums off for next Tuesday's presentation, help motivate us by proving the power people have to truly appreciate each other!
