Touched by Twitter Stardust

By On · 6 Comments

Picture this:

It’s date night and while yummy hubby drives us to supper I take a quick peek at HootSuite via my iPhone to check for recent mentions on Twitter. I know… nerdy, right?

Imagine my amazed delight when I see this tweet from none other than Goldie Hawn, the real live movie star (verified account) whom I’ve just loved since I was a kid. It’s directed to ME, yes, ME of all people and I can hardly believe my eyes!!

Goldie Hawn 

@goldiehawn Goldie Hawn
@Lori_Randall @TheTop10Blog @TheErinRyan @TheSalesLion darling the sweetness of souls ignites my heart! And thank you x

A little background

I’ve been working my heart out on Pages Gone Wild all week and was lucky enough to get posted in Tony Hastings’ The Top 10 Blog… along with Goldie Hawn, who is not only a comedic film legend, but a phenomenal human being as well. She’s promoting and attending Newark’s Peace Education Summit next month. Whatever your political views are, solving problems peacefully is beautiful genius. Like her. :)

Isn’t Twitter Amazing?!

How could this have ever happened except via social media? How could organizing an event from little, weird Athens, Georgia reach The Dr. Phil Show’s physical training advisor of 9 years and Goldie Hawn, of all people? Now word is spreading on Twitter about Pages Gone Wild.

Our party isn’t over until the 29th, when I send out a post to over 100,000 people. It will feature pictures (and links) of all the brave souls who took on the challenge of liking every page on the list from their Facebook profile. It’s a long list. People are adding their pages to it every day and night. If you’re up to the challenge you’ll get more traction for your Page than you ever could by yourself.

Thanks for being so awesome and sharing in my nerdy Twitter stardust moment!!!

    I too, am a big fan of Goldie Hawn as well as her daughter. It is so amazing that you had this encounter especially considering her neighborhood(s) and yours not to mention very different professions. Congrats on this milestone of yours! Yes I’m still attempting to tie in to the whole ‘pages’ list.
    Ciao!

    Congrats on the Goldie Hawn connection. I think many of us did not know that if you “liked” a page using your business profile it would not count in the number of people who like a
    Facebook fan page…..and how important that it is to get those likes….because another issue is that some people are only liking (giving a thumbs up to my post on their page….and of course that does not really like my Facebook fan page either…..Somehow we need to get the word out that they really have to come to the page and LIKE the page :) Have you run into this problem before?

      Thanks Catherine! It was, I’ll admit, a major unexpected thrill!

      Most people don’t realize that liking a page from your Page doesn’t add to the count. And likes are a form of “social proof” that people look at to see if anybody else is listening to what you have to say.

      And the issue about liking (and not getting liked back yet) is real, but here’s how I handle it: Like them and leave a little note on their Page with a link back to yours. I use the @Social Media Design instead of typing out http://www.fb.com/socialmediadesign. Take less room on their page and is easier for you. This is more of a polite reminder/convenience to like back. ;)

      Do you know about Facebook’s short links yet? Here’s a post about them to make your life easier:

      Thanks for stopping by, Catherine!!

    The Fan Page likes help build Facebook’s suggested page info-
    Though you don’t get a visible +1 when a Fan Page likes your page-
    It will get your Page to show up in the suggested page area from time to time depending on the user’s network.

    Thanks for all the great work L!

      Thanks!! I knew it showed up in the Insights, but wasn’t clear on what tangible benefit this gives to Page owners. Makes sense!!!

      Glad you’re enjoying!! <3
