Thanks to the power of Twitter and its ability to connect strangers all over the world who have a common interest, I recently met Paul Vet, a student at Ryerson University in Toronto. Paul can be found on Twitter with the username @640k.
Paul is a doing his thesis on social media and is taking his Masters in Media Production, so he decided to reach out and see if I was interested in doing an interview with him for his studies...which I gladly accepted.
