I always make fun of drinking from the "social media firehose." People always ask how I can possible follow nearly 8,000 people on Twitter, and read 10,000 RSS feeds a week, and on and on. I have developed the skill over time. Being here in Hawaii is a lot like drinking from the Paradise Firehose.
Last night I was asked this question a number of times…"so what do you think so far?"
My response to that was usually a single word. Awesome, super, crazy, beautiful, hot, an I coul dgo on and on at the number of superlatives I used to describe my experience so far here in the Hawaiian Islands. I cannot begin to describe the breathtaking views I had last night as the sun set behind us and we had an opportunity to listen to the local culture unfold in front of us. I took a number of pictures that I will get loaded and if a picture is a 1000 words, they will all be superlatives.
As I write this post at 4:00 a.m. in the morning, I am still seeing images and can smell the experience and even taste the things that I did last night with Chef Colin at te Rumfire. Today we are off to another island (Kaui) and the rand Hyatt. They have a huge benchmark to meet but somethng tells me that wont be too hard.
As a social media business aside, everyone here is Twitter crazy. Last night I explained Twitter to a large number of folks all wanted to find out how to get on and what to do when they do. It is a crazy ride we are having here and they are loving the idea of talking to everyone. I think that if they could bring everyone here for a moment, they would. I would just say that 140 characters is not going to do it for me.
