A Twitter Word Association Game: Collaboration, Communication, Community

By Info Diva

I have been doing some thinking about and writing for my forthcoming business website. The words seemed to be a little too flat, however. I therefore threw a few words out to my friends in my social network on Twitter and asked them to play a word association game. Below are my lists of (1) who contributed and (2) the words/phrases/ideas they contributed. Thank you everyone for helping me out!! (Names are twitter IDs as opposed to real names.) What do you think of when you see these words? Please add your thoughts to the comments!
