Social Media Lesson: When a hard-to-secure username suddenly becomes available...grab it (and wait.)

This is a story of how we're not a power company from Kenya and..if you're from Kenya, please, please keep reading...
We used to have the username @KPL_Comms, but you'd probably do a happy dance like we did if you found out that @KPLC became available.

I mean, how clean is @KPLC, right? ...
But then, you'd probably learn, as we did, that when the notifications started to pour in...there's probably a reason why...

Wow! @Google writing to the #Fed to replicate #UPI is a great example of what I once told @tomfriedman at a friend's house in 2008. #TheWorldIsFlat - no, #TheWorldIsUpSideDown & India is showing the way!

Excited & Proud to see the next wave of #IndiaInnovations go to the world!
@Google @tomfriedman So what will it take for UPI to become one of India's key exports? I expect there is nothing to be gained in aiming to "license it". Yet, we could proactively propose a global, interoperable payment network on UPI that takes into account inter-country money-transfer regulations.
While nothing stops other countries from copying UPI, if India were to proactively put out the UPI specifications and standards, we would create a great opportunity for countries to clone or better still take solutions from India - this could create a great opportunity.
