All 23 James Bond Movies in Tweets - Part 2

In September of 2012, my son and I set out to watch all the James Bond movies in order, as a kind of completist pop-culture undertaking. We finished nearly eight months later, after approximately 48 widescreen hours of spy gadgets, corny lines, exotic locations, and beautiful women.

Rather than write something overly lengthy in the form of documentation, I thought I would summarize the experience via tweets.

Introduction to Internet Marketing (101)

Telling Your Story Authentically with Modern Tools
One workshop in one three-hour session

The amount of data in the world will increase 50-75x in the next decade. Will people be able to find you in the midst of this information explosion? Will traditional marketing techniques be effective in this new age, or is the Internet just a new way to advertise? 

To find the answer to these questions, we must learn how to tell an authentic human story. The technological tools available to us today represent unprecedented opportunities to share our experiences through rich new decentralized forms of media.

Matteo Wyllyamz (aka @mouselink) finishes as a 4th-place finalist in the category ‘science’ for a Shorty Award for Excellence in Social Media
Special Thanks to Everyone Who Supported me in the Shorty Awards!
I want to thank everyone who has generously lent their support to me during the last month of this competition. Some of these tweets can be read below (or here). I’m sorry I don’t have the space to include everyone.

Because I’m on Twitter primarily to share information, I do feel that recognizing my posts through these nominations is a powerful tool that helps get important information out there. 
And while I certainly don’t do Twitter for awards, I did see this opportunity as a good way to help get my brand out there, which increases opportunities for me in my work, and which benefits my family as a result. I’m not super comfortable working the cyberways as a publicity-whore, but there it is.
Because I finished in the top six out of a field of about 150 nominees, I am eligable to win the award in the science category, which will be voted upon by the academy judges. This recognition is due in part to my bent towards posting technology and futurism news articles.
It really kind of blows my mind to see the @Mouselink brand in a field of nominees that includes a world-famous astronaut living aboard the International Space Station; the Mars Curiosity Rover, which has nearly 1.3 million Twitter followers; and the popular science phenomenon, Neil deGrasse Tyson, arguably our generation’s Carl Sagan.
It is a great honor to be in the running with these science giants, but it was your belief in what I’m doing that helped put me there. I am not a world-famous celebrity. I’m just a guy with a laptop who has a penchant for posting the news I find interesting. In my opinion, this is what social media is all about: decentralization of information away from the traditional gate-keepers of thought.
Thank you again, and be well!
