I couldn’t be happier for you guys! One night when the “Evangelists” were up at Daddy-Oh’s, I said to Mike, “this is the power of social networking.” It truly is. People who dismiss sites like Twitter and Facebook as a “waste of time” have never won a new kitchen on the power of semi-strangers. They’ve never had their hearts warmed by an outpouring of support when their jobs have been in jeopardy. And they’ve never enjoyed drinks with new friends that they never would have met through traditional channels. In short, the don’t get it and they never will. The Driehorsts are like the poster family for the positive impact that social media can have on someone’s life. Again, I’m so happy for you guys and I’m proud to call you friends… online and off.
