Love is in the Air: A Wrap-Up of the First NTEN Thanks Day
The NTEN staff is consistently amazed at how fabulous our members are. But honestly, last Wednesday, on NTEN Give Thanks day, you really blew our minds. There was so much love floating around it silenced the NTEN office -- which is really hard to do! -- while we sifted through your posts and reflected on your greatness.
We had inklings of how much you appreciate each other, but to see it all out there in the universe was something else entirely. As a part-time poet, I have a thing for words. Here are some of the best and most used words (according to this Twitter Stream Graph) from your thanks:
- Always
- Awesome
- Cause
- Community
- Fun
- Helpful
- Inspirational
- Love
- Make
- Share
- Tech
- Work
Taken together, they make NTEN sound like a supportive and positive community to be a part of -- which we knew, but it means so much to us to know that you all think so, too.
And now, on to the winners. We promised prizes to those who gave & received the most thanks on Facebook & Twitter and those prizes are going to...
- David Krumlauf, Pierce Family Charitable Foundation
- Peter Campbell, EarthJustice and TechCafeteria
- Robert Weiner, Robert Weiner Consulting
We also have an honorable mentions catagory. In it are Beth Kanter of Beth's Blog, and Amy Sample Ward from NetSquared. If there were an NTEN prom queen, Beth & Amy would be some fierce competition.
So, in summary, #NTENThanks to all of you, for keeping us and each other going. If you feel like you missed out, you didn't: the love is still being spread. It’s not too late to get out there and tell an NTEN member just how much you appreciate them.
