In June of 2009, I had an idea that it would be fun to share original ideas with friends in a place where we could all find them.  I blogged it as <a href="http://jkw.typepad.com/corepurpose_joan_koerberw/2009/06/why-beoriginal.html">Why #BeOriginal</a> to let my friends know.

Over time, more and more people have shared great ideas.  But Twitter search does not last forever, so I am capturing some of my personal favorites here. (These are what was still available on search starting 9/5/2009.  There were many more that are now gone from search.)  Some are my own quotes so I won't forget them - but many are from my friends and colleagues who have joined in the fun of sharing original ideas.  I hope you enjoy them!

Since September I have been collecting the "BeOriginals" each month, categorizing them, and sharing them with others to give credit to all of my friends who share their original ideas.  You will find them all on the <a href="http://beoriginalblog.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">#BeOriginal Blog</a>.  Be sure to check it out and subscribe to the feed so you get the update each month.

Maybe you have favorite quotes from searching <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23BeOriginal">#BeOriginal</a> too?  Feel free to add them in the comments section at any time. (Special thanks to @<a href="http://twitter.com/mikemyatt">mikemyatt</a> who inspired me to do this with his personal quote list that you can find <a href="http://bit.ly/olriT">here</a>.)

Here is a short selection of the thousands of #BeOriginal Quotes that have now been shared.
