    excellent post! this is a great reminder to us all, and something I will be pointing people to in the future. I added this to stumble upon - thank you!

    Thanks for the comment Jared. I haven't seen many people addressing this, and I think it makes for an interesting topic.

    Glad you enjoyed it!

    Great image, the megaphone wielding spruiker, of what not to do with social media. Like people who go to an offline business event, spray their business cards around and think they are being effective networkers. In the online world, as in the offline, we get to know who to listen to and who to trust - and it's not the guy with the megaphone.

    Exactly Des. Thanks for reading, I hope to see more of your comments in the future.

    You are right on Jared! It's something I teach...even put together a fun series of roll play videos on my blog comparing social networking to interacting at a party.

    And the first rule at a party is...get the name right! I'm so sorry Jacob! Jared was close though, huh? :) Lots of good stuff on your blog!

    Haha it's ok, I forgive you. Actually Jeff Pulver does a real life social tagging game when he is trying to promote the use of social media. I was privy to this at his latest social media club event! Hope to hear from you again soon.

    Great post Jacob and I think you hit the nail on the head.

    I wrote the same thing in a comment on Agent Genius earlier this week.

    Thanks Andy, so few people really understand this.

    Get connected, related and engaged with people. To do that you need to follow the trailblazers and communicate by commenting, suggesting or simply sharing your thoughts. Im a newbie but Im getting the groove of this so called social media phenomenon.
