If You Had 15 Minutes Left, What Would You Do?

in How To Use Twitter

How many of you don’t have a plan for the next year?

Not many.

So what if I told you that in fifteen minutes, giant indestructible rats that shit cancer and spit hate we’re going to be set loose on the world. Their release would bring the end of civilization as we know it.

There’s not exactly room for humans in a world dominated by things that crap cancer.

Fifteen minutes is not a long time to do anything, but if you’re on Twitter or using other social publishing platforms, it can be an eternity.

In less than fifteen minutes, Balloon Boy went from someone people were praying for to being part of the most hated family in America. Well, the most hated next to Kanye West’s parents.

In less than fifteen minutes, Google went from invulnerable to vulnerable, with Bing announcing deals with both Twitter and Microsoft.

All it took was fifteen minutes or less. Plans for next year are nice, but what’s your plan for the next fifteen minutes should something major happen?

Start thinking about what you would do, and then let me know over on Facebook .
