Social Media (and digital in general I think) erases distance and eradicates the need to "be in the big city" in order to meet/compete, etc. I actually find it kind of interesting that sans a few folks, most of your "big names" in social media don't hail from NYC, ORD, or LAX... places that have historically been epicenters for creative or marketing leaders. Heck, some of the smartest voices in social media are found in towns so small they don't even have DSL -- just a guy leading the charge from a dial up connection. Jay

So I am grateful and through Twitter and Linked In I am able to connect with the people who are making the decisions instead of just sending out a resume blindly and hoping it gets read. Through this technology I am able to have a podcast (http://redwingsguy.com) where Red Wings fans from different parts of the country can come together for a common cause and share our passion and critique the team if we please. Which is fantastic. In no other time is the technology so great. It is all about how you maintain the relationships. Sure you might have thousands of followers but the people you most interact with are the ones who are going to be by your side. I have been connecting with Red Wings fans since about 2002-03 Red Wings hockey season when Red Wings World was around. I have those friends today. Like everything it should be done in moderation and if it is your career there should be balance.

And yes, that we can advance our careers and desires, but those are secondary to me in terms of the true impact of global interrelatedness. Though I'm quite curious about how families are affected by this medium. It does take up a huge chunk of time - and it's got to come from somewhere.

It's new to me. I read this and thought, as I usually do, awesome. He hit it right on the head...and then I see May 28, 2009. LOL. Nice job, even if I'm little late on the uptake:) I love when people I follow retweet an old post. It’s new to me. I read this and thought, as I usually do, awesome.
