Interactive Disney Magic

The world of Tweets is amazing.

I don't care if you like it or not, Tweeting is an amazing creation that attracts hundreds of Disney guests, fans, and Cast Members.

An unfortunate circumstance happened this past week, to my complete and utter surprise. Somehow, I got hacked. Not sure how it happened, but the over 650 people following me, including the Walt Disney Company (@DisneyParks), were the recipients of some 'direct messages' from me about Google Business. It was obviously not sent by myself. Rather, someone got in my account. Now if it was a revenge, or something like that, I'm certain it would have been more than just a spam-bot type of message.

So anyway they got me, and they got me good, so good that when I came home, one of the most popular Disney fans, @lady_aurora, sent me an email saying that my account was now suspended due to suspicious activity.

Playing it smart, I jumped on the Tweeting bandwagon right away and created the new @tikitikiroom. Now the big challenge came: I had to gain back the trust of many people in the Tweeting world.

It took from January 2009 until July 2009 to come up with the over 650 followers. And something really, really amazing has happened: Already, within lessthan 48 hours from starting the @tikitikiroom feed for the Tiki Room Morning Show, there are over 200 followers!

This started with me just adding one person, @lady_aurora who spread the word from one, to another, and another RTed my need to restart on Twitter...and now, to the 200-and-climbing number of people who are adding me to their following...a huge, huge thank-you!

On the contest related note, Sorcerer Radio presents VOICE YOUR LOVE, where, if you have a skype account, you can call SRSOUNDS and leave a voicemail on how much you love Sorcerer Radio, All entries are put in a draw and randomly selected to win a Walt Disney World Character Photo Frame!

Thanks again everyone, for following in the World of Tweets, and thanks so much, for tuning in to the Tiki Room Morning Show and making it a part of your Disney Day!
