I’m very lucky to live in a city where so many fantastic people who are active on social media live.

One of those people is Heidi Massey and, though she doesn’t make her living using social media, I met her that way. But because she’s not in PR or marketing, I likely never would have met her without social media, even though she only lives about a mile away from me.

The first time I read her bio, I thought, “Yep! That’s totally Heidi!” Have a look:

“Heidi Massey has been connecting people since about 2nd grade when she was always the first to introduce herself to anyone new to the neighborhood.  Heidi’s entire career has been in nonprofit/community benefit organizations.  She believes that innovation, creativity and good old fashioned common sense go a long way toward making a difference in the world.  Heidi is passionate (some would say addicted!) to Twitter and uses a variety of social media to learn more about just about anything.” (more…)
