How a Tweet and a Foul Blog Post are taking me to Pakistan

While sitting at my desk watching my twitter stream, a post by Julian smith (http://bit.ly/f5RRL0) motivated me to step out of my comfort zone and sign on to a delegation travelling to LaHore Pakistan (a place I never had the desire to see). My wife has asked me for life insurance, my parents have asked me to take sara palin with me, and my kids are thrilled. I leave on February 11th for 10 days.

This presentation is all about how social is motivating the world towards actual action (not just your Klout.com action).
