Twitter is NOT The Devil"

I've heard it said... 'twitter is the devil', but with all things in life; twitter can be whatever you put into it. If you act out of evilness, then it can be all bad. If you have goodness in your heart and use it for 'good' it can be a wonderful tool.
Case in point, someone I went to HS school with who, by the power of twitter and 'positive' tweeting was able to meet OPRAH!! He was a huge Oprah fan and would tweet to her on the regular. One tweet led to more tweets, then a follow back. Once you get the follow back, anything is possible. I'm not sure how long this went on, but one day by chance he was in Chicago. (He travels like crazy) anyway; he's tweeting like normal...and he just so happens to mention that he is in her town. Next thing you know.. this dude is doing 'backflips' on his time line. 'O' sent him a DM (direct message) and he didn't know HOW to act. She had given tickets to the taping of her show PLUS back stage access. Can you say? 'IN LIKE FLYNN'!?! This guy has managed to meet and be an active part of Oprah's show. He is 'Standing in His Light' as he would say.
He was already 'somebody' but now?.. I'm just lucky he still remember us 'little people'. LOL  I hope he is still my 'friend' after this impromtu blog, but.. this is what it is.. a 'random blog'.

*this topic was sparked by a random chat room convo.. hey Mo!!
