This is not your final destination.

I’ve been here before,
Familiar territory, common lanes.

Wisdomisms: Steve Jobs and NeXT

November 29, 2011 Posted by David Merritt Leave a Comment

Well, you pretty much get on twitter, ask questions, then discuss the responses given by your community of followers. With Goodness Determined, Twitter Chats will occur monthly using the hashtag – #goodchat. It’s pretty cool and the first one turned out rather well. We brought people together to talk about the topic “(Actually) Uplift Detroit,” which expounded upon the featured article, “Detroit: Stand Up – Veronika Scott.” I really wanted to gather some peeps through the twittersphere to get their thoughts on the current state of Detroit and how we can continue to uplift the city. Here’s a quick recap of the wonderful insights/opinions within the Twitter Chat:
