Guy and the Kid
As I scanned twitter tonight, I watched as Guy Kawasaki aka. @guykawasaki, the man behind Alltop & Truemors, blew off a request for a website review.
Typical, right?
Who can blame the man, he probably gets spammed with these type of requests all the time. But, I followed this request by @ashvala, who turned out to be a 13 year old, grade 9 student from Bangalore. His site looks sharp and is well designed.
After reading Ashvala’s Bio, I decided to use twitter persuasion to convince Guy Kawasaki to give it a glance. Within a minute he did and tweeted back feedback to the young “techie who loves gadgets and enjoys reviewing them.”
In the end Ashvala received a little feedback & a pat on the back from one of the biggest names on the web. Happy ending to a short story.
This is another demonstration of the power of twitter to connect people. On twitter people become a little more equal. Kudos to Guy for stepping up.
