Room to Read Between the Lines

Reading Twitnitiative.

I’m discovering the confluence of developing for Twitter and doing social good appearing everywhere. This might be because I have been more aware of these subjects lately so I’m finding them more easily. But this might just be a sign that I’m tapping into an emerging area of interest. I think as soon as become more conversant about hacking, I’ll be able to harness my passion for both Twitter and social good.

Given that, it was excitedly surprised to stumble upon John Wood on Charlie Rose recently. Mr. Wood is the head of Room to Read, the literary initiative which is the beneficiary of the The Fledgling Initiative. The interview is informative, entertaining, and—most importantly—inspiring. It makes me want to increase my bid again for the Twitter Auction, but I’ve already well surpassed my limit. I’m still hoping Santa comes through with the winning bid for me. I’m sending my note to the North Pole this weekend asking as much. If I hear back, I’ll let you know when I see you on the ‘morrow, on the Web.
