If you missed hearing Susan Boyle sing on Britain's Got Talent - you've been on a deserted island with no wifi. Just as Christian the Lion, a story started more than 30 years ago, recently captured our attention, so did Susan Boyle's amazing voice. The good news is great stories and events are immediately available to anyone who's connected, especially on a social website.
The challenge is to never forget how easy it is to spread the word/picture/sound around the world. The amazing fact is when it is spread around the world, things begin to change quickly, often at warp speed. In the case of Christian the Lion, it brought recognition to a long-forgotten event that could be shared by millions. For Susan Boyle, it mostly likely has opened a door for her not unlike the door that was opened through youtube for Charice.
For those looking for a new career, the social websites like LinkedIn, Facebook, and now Twitter play an important role in: a) finding a career posting and b) finding a connection who will help close the gap between resume and interview. Yesterday, I watched Oprah interview Ashton Kutcher about his race with CNN to reach 1,000,000 followers on his Twitter account. I liked the winning prize - mosquito nets to help stop the spread of malaria. There could be no losers.
Today, I watched a video on how doctor's at the Mayo Clinic are using Twitter to reach out to medical students, doctors and interested individuals as they perform surgeries. A young doctor explained, from his point of view, the important role technology should play in medicine. Gone are the days of secrecy behind the curtain in your hospital room or the doors to the surgery suite.
I do believe the best is yet to come - - but it will be a bumpy ride.
Yes - - it was. She had talent - but to be discovered, for her CD to have sold more than any other female artist's first CD - - is an amazing example of being in the right place, with the right talent - captured on television and beamed throughout the world on YouTube et al
