Being a bit of a newbie to the arena of Social Networking, my angle may be similar to many of the clients that I am hoping to help using these tools. Bottom line, we only have time for so much “stuff”, many look at the interaction via Facebook style sites as non-productive time. This is based on the fact that successful people only have a very limited amount of time to delegate as they see fit while still getting the “real” work done that drives their business. My guess is that time is the value factor that they weigh when deciding what things to participate in. Personally,
I enjoy reading blog posts that I become aware of through a notification vehicle of some type (even email) which lets me know what is of interest to me. I really love reading about real life
examples of the power of the “new media” including SN to boost business. I want to be able to identify techniques and proven success models that can be implemented when I develop a marketing plan for my clients. This site has a wealth of good material for education and is where I have been lurking lately –

And of course, I am happy to count Rob among my friends that are willing to help me along
the way! Thanks Rob.

I’ve been thinking along these lines for the last few months, too. As I watch more of my community publish their life on Facebook I realize the publication of my life/thoughts on my blog has much less significance. And I wonder if my energies would be better spent on Facebook. Or, ideally, I’d like to publish the same shorter content in both locations.

I have found that checking facebook and other friend’s blogs are what keep me from blogging as much. I’d say blog whatever is on your mind. I like random thoughts, but also processing-types as well. I look forward to seeing more as you are able.

I’m the same way. I’ve been “twittering” and “facebooking” much more than blogging these days. For me, I believe it’s because I find it difficult to find topics to post blogs about. I need to disci[line myself to think more — and put my thoughts on my blog.

I think you’re right on track with this!
