See Jane Explore Tweeting with Wynonna

Wynonna Judd describes herself as an Alpha Female.  I believe it!  I could sense her strength while having my picture taken with her prior to her recent Hobbs, New Mexico concert. Wy, her nickname, has freely shared about the struggles in her life which you can read about in her book released in 2005, "Coming Home to Myself - A Memoir".  I had the fabulous opportunity to win a "Tweet Seat" at her concert last week in Hobbs. How did this happen?  Well, it's social proof that when you engage in conversations through online communities, the possibilities for business and personal experiences are endless. I follow Wy on Twitter.  When I saw that someone was tweeting at her New Year's Eve concert, I excitedly started to follow the hashtag (if you don't know what a hashtag is, click on my ask link) and was able to follow Wy's selection of songs, what she wore, her funny comments back and forth with the audience (that woman is really funny!) and more.  It was almost like being there in person.  I was able to ask questions of the tweeters and they interacted and engaged.  A few days later, Wy tweeted that anyone could win "Tweet Seats" at any of her upcoming concerts by going to her website, http://www.wynonna.com/welcome.html  I immediately acted on this invitation, submitted my information that was required and was fortunate to have been chosen to win a "Tweet Seat". Do you see what can happen on Twitter?  The value of engaging and interacting online is priceless! If you have an experience that you would like to share with me, please submit your post.

Have a “Sweet Sixteen”!!

Oh, we will be seeing this many times in the coming months!!
