I find it exhausting to try and tell a non-believer (boss or otherwise) the benefits of social networking. As soon as I see "that face" (and we all know "that face") I imitate my oldest granddaughter and say, "whatever." Yes, I become six. MJ Joan Stewart,

And, I completely agree with you. I think a lot of folks are just simply overwhelmed with the sheer volume of networks and bookmarking sites out there and don't know how to harness the power of what these sites can do for you. To the newbie out there... start with just a couple of your favorites... favorites sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc), favorite bookmarking sites (Delicious) and Blogs (Publicity Hound, Scottfox, etc) and start learning and getting involved. Learn by doing and making an honest effort to offer valuable information. Don't try to sell stuff, that will come only after you've built trust with the members of your growing tribe. Give your time, your expertise and help us fix our problems and you will eventually get all the benefits that social media marketing has to offer. Thanks Joan for the excellent post.
