(just made that word up.) But face-to-face is higher quality, and a much better use of time, when we first use virtual tools (like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) to find our Ideal Audience (ideal potential clients, partners, kindred spirits) and schedule further phone/face time if there's a good reason to. That's one of the things I discuss in my webinar on the efficient use of social media for marketing/business/career development. Slides here: http://tr.im/socialslides Also, I suggest that Facebook and Twitter ARE blogs - they're microblogs - and they have a few benefits over "real" blogs. Benefit 1: it's much easier to begin reflecting/sharing your thoughts and ideas on Facebook/Twitter, without the pressure of having to keep up a wordpress/blogger blog, which looks can look outdated/inactive if there hasn't been a post for even a month. Benefit 2: you already have an audience (assuming you have Facebook friends and Twitter followers) and the sharing/viral tools are built into Facebook and Twitter (well, through RTs and #hashtags anyway). Benefit 3: for people like me who feel inadequate about their writing, or are perfectionistic, it's easier to share our thoughts in fewer words on Facebook and Twitter. This comment is getting long :-) Thanks for reading. And find us pebblestormers microblogging on Facebook and Twitter!
