YOKO ONO is following me on Twitter

YOKO ONO is following me on Twitter. It is surreal, as well as fun and wonderful, and could only happen in the blossoming world of social media, that writers are told more and more they have to be a part of.

Some of you younger folks may say: Who is Yoko Ono? Some of you older folks may say: What is Twitter? (Though, is there anybody who doesn’t know what twitter is anymore?) My best answer is that they are symbols of our times. Yoko, especially, is an icon for an entire generation, or two, or three.

At first, it seemed that computers and the web were primarily valuable in regards to the information that could be found and gathered, a more masculine task, as traits go. But through social networking and blogging it seems we have added the feminine qualities to the world wide web: the desire to connect and create relationships with family, friends, colleagues, people you admire, or even with total strangers.

Yoko Ono is known for her work as an avant-guard artist and musician, and her marriage and works with musician John Lennon of the Beatles. I am honored and humbled that she is following me on Twitter. Thank you, Yoko. xo

P.S. I am an ex-shrink who writes award-winning novels. Check out my books here.
