Honestly…|an honest take on the world of PR and other things by Cindy Ronzoni

Love the Fez's!

I know the correct buzz word right now is unification, but I would like to take it a step farther and say that I think that unification (bi-partisanship) is crucial to solving our current country woes…but as a sidebar, I’m noticing that our country and well the world is becoming more social.

Thanks to all the new social tools and yes you know what those are - we are becoming more connected, more chatty and well, more intertwined, enmeshed.

A guess another way to describe it is that we are getting more personal with our fellow man.

And we’re getting nicer.  We’re sending digital gifts to each other, wishing more people happy birthday than we ever could have imagined and joining groups like crazy.

The days of belonging to our grandparent’s social circles, like the Eastern Star, BPOE or The Shriners are now being replaced with Facebook groups like “One-Million Strong for the Kool-Aid Man,” “The Only Two Men Who Understand Women are Ben and Jerry” (6,999 members) or how about this one “Stop Girls and Women Wearing Pyjamas (sic) on the Streets of Liverpool!!!” (6,000 members) - what’s going on there.

Those were an easy joke, but there are hundreds of other groups that want to make this planet a better place like “Free Rice to End World Hunger” (14,000 members), “Go Green” (15,000 members) and “Stop War in Beirut” (68,000 members.)

So These Are the Experts on Women

Thanks to Facebook and other sites like Classmates.com I have been able to connect with friends from the past that I would have never found and it’s been a wonderful surprise. Who doesn’t like to reminisce about the good old days? Heck, some of you may have noticed that I belong to a random group made up of individuals who bear my last name! I have never met another Ronzoni in my life and now I am connected to 40 in Europe.  Did someone say road trip!

The opportunities to network have never been like this nor the ways to know a person deeper. I really could do without reading about who’s going to the gym, or doing homework, eating or laundry. But even as a I write this I still look and read what they’re doing.  You can really get to know a person now, in fact you can find out what they’re doing every minute of the day.

With that being said, I’m off to the gym, then will cook dinner, do a little laundry, watch “Friday Night Lights” on DirecTV, yada yada yada.
