DISQUS

Kimberly Bock · 9 months ago

I was an introverted person scared of everyone and everything. I was addicted to substances for nearly 20+ years and had no education. I had one true friend who found me at 90 lbs and ill, and offered me a better way to live by providing a roof over my head, nutrition, and friendship. He is a marketer for Microstrategy and slowly began introducing books and online resources for learning the marketing ropes.

Long story short, I found association with various bloggers and forums to be a great way of reuniting with society and to obtain education.

It's been 2 years now. I've gone through many changes in how I view certain groups that I once had accepted into my life. But overall, it's been a terrific reentry into reality and growth.

(bet ya didnt expect all that ey?) ;-)

Great insights here Mark, at the end of the day micro celebrities and even macro celebrities are no less or greater than you or I. It's all one big conversation.

No people are better than any other people, but it is interesting to consider that we have our own networks, handlers, rules of engagement, etc and that various forms of social media let us leapfrog to get directly to the source, so to speak.

The networks are equalizers in a sense. Hey I just realized I'm a top commenter :)
