David Armano impressed the heck out of me, using his considerable social media presence to bear to help Daniela find her own, safe home. And his community rose to the challenge and has donated more than $12,000 to date.
It’s so great to see an A-List blogger doing something meaningful with their extensive contact networks as opposed to using it as a platform for self-aggrandizement. This has been a bit of a bailiwickfor those of us at LComm. Next week Joseph Jaffe and I are recording a podcast on this very subject. It’s great to see another prominent blogger who also cares about using social media for social good. Needless to say, there is much more to social media than marketing products, services and solutions.
Way to go, David. You have provided a great example for all of us (image by Jason Falls).
This article gave me an idea to do some good in my country with social media. Thanks!
Freakin’ awesome. Made my day. I was still po’ed at USAirways because of yesterday’s flight debacles, and this totally changed the day’s perspective.
Thanks.
Great stuff, David! Let’s hear it for social capital.
When you talk to him, tell him that he can do it again, although maybe not at the same scale. The benefit – he creates a culture of giving in his network.
