The Tweet before Christmas

Please enjoy: The Tweet Before Christmas!
It was so much fun to write, recruit and put together. I have to continuously throw out praise to WXYZ ABCtv in Detroit Anchor Stephen Clark for editing/producing!

Here is the link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrAH1zavTK8
I also created a custom link for it: http://bit.ly/TweetB4Christmas 

If you can use the hashtag #TweetB4Christmas if you tweet or post it anywhere I will continue to track it.


All of the Twitter handles or participants are included in the video. It has already been tweeted/retweeted almost 1000 times and we just put it up an hour ago. Wild! and cool!

I want to try to get it in front of Ellen Degeneres, Oprah, any Kardasian, Mashable, Guy Kawasaki, Chris Brogan, Gary Vaynerchuk, Justin Beiber, Blake Shelton, Britney Spears, Ashton Kutcher, Demi More and of coarse Lady Gaga since she is the star of the video LOL

Who knows...would be cool if it went viral if not it is just a REALLY fun holiday video none of us will ever forget! ;) Feel free to use it as you wish around the web, blogs :) xoxox

Happy Holidays and ENJOY the season with your family and friends! I am truly blessed to have you ALL in my life!

Much love and respect!

THE TWEET BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Written by @JessicaNorthey
Edited by @SClarkWXYZ
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the web,

Mouses were stirring, and eyes turning red.

Looking for fun, in all the wrong places;

Myspace, Linkedin, had no friendly faces.

Mafia wars, Farmville, not filling the void,

Accidentally found Twitter, on my new Droid.

Thought it was silly, useless, absurd;

But in less than an hour, I turned into a nerd!

Uploaded a picture from 10 years ago-

That’s good enough, no one will know!

No longer overweight, bald or unemployed;

Now sexy, exotic and overjoyed.

Visions of friendships, with musicians and stars,

This was way better, than any bar!

Stumbled on an account, called BLEEP my dad says;

And that celebrity blogger named Perez.

140 characters to make an impression,

Then my screen froze, so I tried to refresh it.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear;

But a funny looking whale, that filled me with fear.

I waited and waited, for a chance to tweet;

There was no way I’d accept defeat!

Back to the stream, back to the feed-

Reading all this info, with a hungry need!

Got advice from Guy, Brogan and Gary;

Decided not to listen, and spammed in a hurry!

Kardasian, Mashable, Ashton, Demi,

Ellen, Oprah, Beiber, Britney!

Follow me now, follow me please,

Follow me Blake, don’t be a tease!

Have to tell you, how my day began,

What I ate, what I drank, when I went to the can!

Then I heard a noise, from out my lawn;

It was getting late, close to dawn.

So I looked out the window and snapped a pic;

Tweeted a photo, of what I thought was Saint Nick!

It was my neighbor, Lady Gaga, wearing a suit;

Of red meat steak cutlets, and black stiletto boots!

And I heard her exclaim, as she ran out of sight,

“Alejandro, Alejandro,” and to all a good-night!

Thanks to all for helping make this video! Stephen Clark is an amazing, friend and trailblazer in Social Media. He is the evening Anchor in Detroit for WXYZ TV/ABC Channel 7 and creator of the #BackChannel.

Stephen did all the editing and finishing of the Tweet Before Christmas project.

I had the honor of speaking at the Arbitron Conference/Jacobs Media Summit along with Stephen.  http://www.jacobsmedia.com/summit/default.asp

Stephen has initiated a novel audience interactive program – The Backchannel - using Twitter to communicate with his audience as he’s putting together stories and during the newscasts themselves. The Backchannel is an innovative feedback loop that might just change television news.

Thanks again for your participation!
