innovation 3 aka nationwide tweet up

Innovation 3 has come and gone; but you know what they say – videos are forever.  {actually I don’t think anyone says that!}  What you are about to see is REAL, the names have NOT been changed to protect anyone.  Everyone in this video is a REAL person.

Speaking of “real” – I must say it was really awesome being able to meet so many people for the first time whom I have known on twitter for sometime.  It was great to put a person with a profile!  When I think about online-social-networking (as a means), doing this sort of stuff is certainly one of the ends (so to speak).

Being able to meet people, connect with people, hear people’s stories, hear people’s heart; is what being “created to relate” is all about!  I enjoy these sorts of “events.”  I enjoy being around all sorts of people.  I enjoy meeting connecting with people all sorts of ways!

I am so thankful that God did not make us to simply live alone, but He has blessed us by creating so many people (and so many creative ways to meet those people) that there is no excuse for anyone to live “alone,” especially in this social-networking-society we live in!  I am so thankful for the chance to have meet all of these people in the flesh.  I look forward to these types of “events” in the future!

One more thing – please leave your infomation in the comments section.  Your twitter name, your website address, what you do, what you dream, what your goals for 2009 are, heck, you can even tell us what your favorite flavor of ice-cream is.  I’d just like to “continue the conversation.”

One last {serious} word – if I know you {on any level}, thank you for letting me walk through life with you.  I really do consider it an honor! 

{rick}.

{p.s. – I still have MUCH more footage from this event that I will be posting, so check back soon.  You won’t want to miss the innovation 3 after party!  Trust me!}

  1. Looks good. Thanks for video!

    Love the video and the energy. Hilarious and yet…innovative!

  3. Might be just me, but I find it entertaining that Greg Atkinson & I don't fit in the camera frame at the same time. Also, my teenage son is pretty sure Cynthia Ware is a movie star he's seen somewhere.

  4. Great video Rick! Bummed I didn't get to meet you, but glad I was able to meet so many other folks face to face that I knew through twitter or blogging. Thanks for putting this together and keeping the momentum going…

    Man, I really wanted to be there this week.
    It was great to be able to experience some of the amazing fellowship that had taken place!

    Anyhow, I'll go ahead and listen to your direction, even though I'm a first time visitor to your corner of the web.

    Not sure what this means, but the video stats show that a larger number of people pause this video on the scenes that you are in….feel free to interpret that data however you like…..:)

    Awesome! I'm really impressed with your editing choices, Rick. You got mad skills.

  18. rickonline says:

    What?!?!? Really? I threw that together using imovie, used SUPER random "breaks" – like people's websites, etc, and just sort of "winged" it…This is what I called "goofing around" with the Flip. Thanks for the kind words though man!

    P.s. – your made for the camera man, we need to get you on a television!
