So the year is coming to an end and LATISM = Latinos in Social Media has been gaining momentum on a weekly basis. We are proud to be a part of this incredible social media movement that is connecting thousands of Latinos online every day.
We did want to pause and try to recognize some of LATISM’s Finest, or at least, a sampling of fantastic people on Twitter that we have met through #LATISM. As with any tribute, we are sure we have missed out on a few people (our apologies, it was a very difficult task), but we hope this little video (see me lip-sync to Lavoe!) provides you with the faces that represent the real power of Latism: the people who each and every day are connecting with people, helping others and establishing the right social media presences. So this week’s VivaViernes is in video form. Enjoy and happy holidays!
Such an honor, to be on this video along w/ these social media super stars…mil gracias, Julio!
Thanks, hermano, and you should be extremely proud of how this movement has taken a life of its own. All that hard work is paying off and I believe 2010 is going to be a great year for you and your family. Abrazos.
thanks for your kind words bro…Happy holidays to you and yours…and thanks for all that you do!
De nada, hermano.
It is an honor to be among such wonderful latino/as!! What a great year for Latism! I am so happy to be part of this movement and am thrilled to have met such great people!! Felicidades y Abrazos!
Doesn’t it feel great to know that there are so many people out there who are always supporting you and what you do? Abrazos, mi querida Tica.
Julito, hermano, thanks for this beautiful Christmas/New Year’s present. You made me cry tears of joy watching this. You were able to capture the true spirit of LATISM: the amazing people who have come together online to push Latinos forward!
I said it once and i say it again: talent runs deep in the Varela family, it is an honor and pleasure to know all of you.
Gracias y Feliz Navidad!
I am honored to have been blessed with meeting so many amazing people as we help push LATISM with so many others out there. We are a true testament of how social media, when done right, is incredibly powerful. ¡Abrazos, hermana!
Was this all in one take? haha
Great video!
I am going to say yes! So yes!
Julito! What a wonderful gift to turn on my computer and see all the #latism tweets about your video gift to us! I just viewed it and was giggling and crying tears of joy. Love your singing and dancing and all the photos of all of us together here. You are all Mi Familia and I feel so very blessed to have you in my life. I really feel like we are sisters and brothers. Thank you, Ana Roca Castro (@AnaRC) and Louis Pagan (@LouisPagan) for reaching out to find us Latinos In Social Media and big Abrazos to Julito for tying us together in this video gift. Feliz Navidad, everyone, and Happy New Year: 2010 will be our best year ever!
And to think I could have added another 100 more people in this video!
What a force is unraveling through LATISM for 2010 and beyond! The 1000’s of Latinos that are stepping up and being counted as GIVERS WITHOUT EXPECTATIONS will set the example for those that have not even been born yet. WE are a FORCE to be reckoned with, in helping people not only in the USA, but all over the world thanks to the Internet & Social Media. Have you noticed that SOCIAL MEDIA are two words that work and are spelled the same in English as in Spanish?
So what , I’m one of those “ANORMALES” that @Julito77″s song refers to in this video.LOL
My dear son Julito, I’m so proud of being Latino and more proud of having you as my son…LaLalalalalala… Que cante mi gente!!
Qué cool, Papi. Thanks for that. What you say is so true.
No, no escribo en español. Hice esto traducido especialmente para usted, así que si está mal, lo siento. Tenga una Navidad maravillosa y feliz. Gracias por ser un nuevo amigo y por enseñarme más sobre medios sociales
Not bad, not bad. Made a few little edits, but overall I love the thought! ¡Gracias mil! A thousand thanks!
You kill me! This is great!!
And that is why we are who we are.
Julito…you are too much and the feeling is mutual. I am gonna have to fly you in for next year’s parranda…the vocals on that video were crazy!!!!
Latism is growing and growing fast. What is important that we do not forget that the sense of Familia is what brought us together…we are a tribe of tribal leaders and we should continue to lead by example.
You are a great example of that sentiment.
Happy Holidays!
Sign me up for the next “asalto!” HA! Abrazos, bro!
¡Te luciste Julito! I also feel very lucky to be part of such an fantastic group of human beings who are working hard to embrace a very bright future…an AMAZING LATINO FUTURE.. Happy Holidays…
Sample the holidays, the Colombian way –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHGYvbxD8Js

Hey, Sean! Thanks so much for the kind words and for getting to know you this year. Happy 2010!
Today I woke up thinking ahead for what I want to do in 2010. Connecting with #Latism is stirring my soul to move ahead with my project in Spanish…and because of your video which made me smile, laugh and feel energized, I feel I am coming back to my roots. I am excited for 2010 and hope to meet many of you.
Happy New Year!
Now that is a great way to start 2010! ¡Saludos!
