Absolutely agree, Josh. Nice post.

On another note, where is your blog server such that it thinks today is January 4 (at least in comments)?

Great post, Josh. Consistency is the key (and I don’t always take my own advice!). Having lived for years in several very small towns, I have seen that social media is so much like small-town life. It’s the little touch-points with others in the community that, over time, build relationships. I’ve always tended to have a serious-type personality, and for me, getting the rhythm of that conversation going has been a little challenging. I confess I am a person who is very task oriented, and social media is socially-oriented, filled with small moments of connection. (Of course my other problem is that I’ve been trained to write, and I’m always running up against the character-count limits of Twitter and Facebook – lol.

But, I’m committed to learning new things, because you are so right. It is important to participate in the new conversation. Thanks for the inspiration to become better connected.

I really like the idea of creating a social media business card to drop into every purchase. Why not also put this info on your receipts since you already have your address and phone number?
