We interrupt regular blogging to bring you breaking news about a crazy 48-hour social media experiment. As you know, I’m in Atlanta with 13,000 leaders at the sold-out Catalyst Conference that has been hosted for 10 years by comedian extraordinaire Lanny Donoho. I’ve had the opportunity to get to know Lanny a little over the last year and can assure you he’s as hilarious and genuine off-stage as he is on-stage.

Which brings us to the social media experiment part. Yesterday as part of the kick-off to the conference Lanny asked the question, what could social media accomplish if thousands of people Tweeted a single hashtag and web site? Could it get someone on The Jay Leno Show? After making his pitch tens of thousands of people began to Tweet the hashtag #LannyOnLeno and the web site LannyOnLeno.com making it a top trending topic on Twitter for most of the day. We’ve been told by Leno’s camp that if enough people Tweet this hashtag over the next 96 hours Lanny will in fact be invited to make a guest appearance on Leno.

So here’s where you come in. Just for fun would you consider Tweeting about this over the next few days and trying to get as many people to ReTweet it as possible? There’s 3 things you can do:
