In my experience making friends with the right people can be just as powerful as becoming a superstar yourself.

Hi Wingnut, I tried to comment at your blog, but had troubles with the captcha:First, the captcha image doesn’t display here for me...first time I’ve seen an option for audio file but glad it was there for me :) <adding now, typed in the captcha from audio but it wouldn’t accept it, then couldn’t get audio again >Second, if others are like me...I want to be friendly but it’s hard to make the first overtures to others. Its good to remember that we’re all just people, the world is a lot smaller than we think and there’s no such thing as having too many friends.

@SisterSledge hmm, I’ve been having server issues lately... probably time to upgrade to that $7 godaddy hosting :PAlso I don’t think it’s that hard to reach out anymore - even shy people can say Hello when it’s all done behind the computer...  If I didn’t have all the connections I have made from social media sites - This story probably would have dissapeared.

Hey Wingnut,this is a great way to introduce noobs like me to social media.  Learning the depth and power of social media has been overwhelming for me, but like in-person relationships, cyber relationships take time and respect.  With that said, will you be my friend?  :)

What’s that old saying... it’s not what you know... it’s who you know. I couldn’t think of a more relevant context than for social media.

Very good article. I totally agree with getting to know the big dogs of social marketing, but the time required is the one thing that makes it difficult for the average.
