Am printing this out for my "to do" list on gaining more publicity for my blog. Thanks for the post! I really appreciate all the comments and unique tools list from other readers, too. I just love other people's experience!

What an insightful post! This is a GREAT IDEA! Who would of thought that a practice due to the flight track to O'Hare airport would lay the ground work for a tremendous marketing idea. Brings a whole new meaning to "shout it from the roof tops". Thanks for this!

Vikki,
You are so right on and in tune with the importance of nurturing you. After all, aren't you at the center of all your relationships, contacts, volunteer work and business dealings?
Great post! Tremendous insight and some solid tips - thank you!

The above post updates the ever increasing number of netizens (network users) with an important fact which we, the netizens, seem to be ignorant of. The network used by us for personal and professional relationships which we proudly call “ours” is actually not. It informs us that the growing network of a large number of social networking sites, including LinkedIn, through their user agreement have a complete control over the activities of their users and have the authority to terminate their membership for any reason considered ambiguous by them. These networks through their user agreements become legally entitled to own every stuff of their members as it becomes the property of the network itself. And we as the netizens have simply no control over our content or recommendations. So, we are at the mercy of these social networking sites which can terminate the contract of our membership at any time, thus losing all our effort and time spent on building our social network. However, the post provides us with some vital clues for this menace. We must proceed to figure out the terms and conditions of the user agreement carefully with eyes wide open and must know where to draw a line. We should create a backup of the time and effort spent in these social networking sites and never ever put all networking eggs in a single basket. We need to adopt a diversified approach to use different social networking sites to expand our social and professional contacts.

A thought provoking post especially for the uses of social media it brings us face to face with. It gives some crucial ideas to survive and succeed in online business. We get the point very clear that social media is indispensable for every business and we can not afford to miss out on this relatively important business tool, otherwise, we may be left out. To stay competitive and keep our customers hooked to our business like never before, the tools of social media like social networks, blogging and social bookmarking come handy due to their global impact. Blogging especially is a great platform for going online as it is an effective way to create awareness about your brand and differentiate your business. We get information about what our customers have to say about our business so as to improve on our weak points and also get them acquainted about how other companies are using social media. Social networking sites come with the added advantage of providing best product marketing to a wider audience. So, all you corporates looking for ways to enhance your success, here is the recipe from Chris Brogan, use social media and get your business see new heights! Anyone listening….
