As most of you know, I love Twitter.

And one of the reasons I do is that it's a virtual New York CIty. I am
in touch with amazing people from all over the world, and I don't even
know them. It's like a subway ride we're all taking together.

Anyway, one of my recent tweets took a lovely journey half way round
the world and I thought I'd share it with you.

It starts off in London. I follow the editor in chief of The Next Web
called Zee M. Kane, with the lovely twitter name of @zee.

He shared a video that was posted on March 26, 2007 by a retired
school teacher with the YouTube channel name of burstingsquidoo. The
video was an interview of Steve Jobs where he quotes Picasso as
saying "good artists copy, great artists steal".

That reminded me of @faris' blog called TIGS--which stands for Talent
Imitates, Genius Steals.

So from my office in LA, I retweeeted Zee's tweet from London to Faris in NYC.

He picked it up and put it on his blog http://bit.ly/bFMokD (Subscribe
to it...you'll be a lot smarter if you do!)

From NYC, it was picked up by numerous international blogs in Germany
and England.

But funnily enough, it was retweeted by @timsgreenhalgh in Brighton, UK.

Now it just so happens that iCrossing has an office in the UK,in
Brighton as a matter of fact. So i reached out to Tim and asked him if
he knew @amayfield the VP of Social Media from our office there. And
of course, yes, he knew him well.

And now we're all friends on Twitter and I feel like we just had a
wonderful subway ride together.

cheers.
