Gary Vaynerchuk sounded the clarion call asking everyone to support Good People Day 2008. Now, typically I am not a trend follower but being a fan of both good and people, I decided to participate. Gary’s idea is to take a break from talking about monetization, controversy and the typical internet fodder to celebrate all that is good in the cyber communities.
The internet can sometimes resemble a monster’s ball. To the untrained eye, it is a mash up of porn, street vendors and 24-hour streaming surrealism. There are however, good places and good people that provide entertainment, information and yes, even a healthy dose of inspiration.
Allow me to introduce you to two good people you may not have met, Amy Palko and Maya Walker.
Maya Walker’s blog, Womanity celebrates the beauty, power and passion of women. In her hands, even the mundane becomes a compelling piece of inspiration. Her writing never fails to astound me and leave me in awe of her incredible talent. Maya is a gracious, beautiful woman who is always willing to lend a hand. She generously shares resources, information and is quick to offer support or a kind word.

You're so generous Karen - and a good person yourself :-)
@ Joanna *blushing* Thank you Joanna!
This was such a lovely surprise, Karen. Thank you! What a great reason for celebration. My life is so full of good people tho, I wouldn't know where to start! You, however, would most certainly be on the list. It's been so lovely getting to know you, even if only virutal. Hopefully we'll get to meet in person one day and celebrate good company together :-)

Aw, hey, that's so cool. I'm planning on doing this too soon.
Glad I met you, Karen. You're very cool.
yup Amy is one of the good people!

@ James, my caped hero, I am overjoyed that we met and I am unabashedly one of your greatest fans. :-)
@ Daz, let's make it happen! Life should be celebrated daily and I for one am grateful for having an abundance of good people in my life.
