Katnip Awards

Who needs Twitter’s #FollowFridays when you can have something much more intoxicating?

We’ve got your Katnip here.

Tweet of the Week
Here we were, looking and looking. And this pops up right under our noses. This little joke got more RT’s last night than we can count. Hats off to @umarnasir .


Life of the Party Award
“Who is this chick we keep seeing retweeted?” we wondered. She’s everywhere. Passionista about art, music, film, design, comedy – fun! Also A++ for giving shout-outs, connecting people, spreading the credit & love. If this is a #worldwiderave, she is hands-down the leader. Watch how one RT from her goes round the globe. @KimSherrell


Fort Knox Award
If you’re looking for gold, he’s got plenty of it. Interesting links. Helpful tips. (Everything that has helped me manage Twitter better, we got from him.) Plus a heart of pure Au. One of the absolute nicest guys we’ve met here. @glennhilton


Cheerful Giver Award
Totally interested in others. In being the light -- not grabbing the spotlight. Her tweets always spread good vibes. Plus we think she’s onto something with her techniques for boosting natural energy, weight loss, body sculpting and more. @ZnaTrainer


SmArt Director Award
In real life, he’s actually a hotshot Creative Director with an Art Director background. On Twitter, he’s the guy who leads you to some really wonderful finds on creativity, art, music… oh, yeah, and advertising. No ego. A generous sharer. All around sweetheart who will cringe when he sees this. @mancevic


Hug It Out Award
When we needed a hug, she was there. Not IRL, but close enough. She is everything her name implies. Upbeat. Caring. Fun. Nurturing. I love the way she rallied when another mom needed some self-esteem pick-me-up. One to know, even if all your kids have four legs (like ours do). @positivemommies


Pinch Hitter Award
Late in the game, this guy appears with all the energy and enthusiasm befitting a first inning. He picks up the bat, knocks the ball out of the park. There when you need him – with encouragement, an RT and that big bright grin. This is one you want on your team. @cargillcreative


Front Porch Award
The day we met her, we threw out a line about sitting on our front porch. She was quick to play along, sending pics of the lemonade she’d bring over. Since then we’ve had to add more rockers (partly because we’re off ours). But she’s still got dibs on the best spot, especially as one who welcomes others and helps create real community in our virtual Mayberry. @vene2ia


If you don’t see your name here, don’t go claw the furniture or spray the front door. Your turn may be coming. Remember, you have to be seen to win. So say hi and engage.

Have a good weekend. And if you like this, please RT & leave a comment here.
