Mike Searle, a member of Google+, created the Plus Project to showcase 30 random Google+ users so that we might find some interesting folks to follow. He showcased a profile per day for 30 days, and then asked if someone would pay it forward and continue the cause. Corey Gearhart was the next to participate, which he did by sketching a pic of random users. You can see his sketches in his Google+ Album. When the call came out for someone to pic up where Corey left off I was eager to participate.
My focus will be showcasing 30 random Googlers, one per day, with a poem. I visit their profile, find a few juicy tidbits, and incorporate them into a poem that gives us a little insight as to who they are. I only allow myself 30 minutes for this between discovery and poem, which lends itself to producing a serendipitous piece of poetry. I hope you will take the time to visit these profiles and possibly find a new and interesting person to follow on Google+!
I will also keep all of the entries here, so you can follow along for the next 30 days!
