@MattDollinger …..I think you would agree that we cannot waste those “short, but meaningful conversations” It was great food for thought and the analysis keeps blowing my mind – can’t wait to read your post.

Ines,

Wow. I wouldn’t have thought that our short (but meaningful) conversation would have generated this much buzz. I personally think you definitely made me sound more concise and knowledgeable than what I heard coming out of my mouth! Rather than take away from the awesomeness of your post, I am trying to finalize a follow up post that will take my perspective.

Thanks again Ines… this is great.

SM is to you you what Mojitos is to me ……the start of conversation (thanks for ruining the fun Mike…..of course we preach to the choir……but we know there are plenty of lurkers learning and absorbing)

Maybe we should all go hit multiple personality dood just for fun

What a great conversation. Social Capital, Investment, being real …

To me, SM is just the start of the conversation. I follow everyone on Twitter and FB who follows me yet there’s no engagement with many of them (yet).

Technology (like Seesmic Desktop) allows me to filter and slow down the quickly moving stream of Tweets and FB updates to a manageable 100 peeps I really care about. I miss most of the crap from the spammers and Broadcasters.

When they’re ready to start a conversation – I’m all ears!
Comments, DM’s, @replies, Google Alerts, etc. are always monitored and always responded to.

Looking at all the Peeps above. Aren’t we just preaching to the choir?

@papagrande – And to you, my schmuck friend I say only one thing……CUPHOLDERS!!!

Hal – of course I use “ulterior motives” for dramatic effect but if you really think of it – the whole bandwagon of people that have been jumping on twitter lately are doing it for one reason only. It’s nice when you can be genuinely nice and get something in return (it’s the reason I like SM so much). I think back when I joined twitter in May of 2007, I was testing a tool, a communication tool and had no idea where it would go or what I could achieve with it (neither did the founders btw)……some of us try different things with the hopes that it will develop into something useful for business, which ultimately IS an ulterior motive.

Ann – and I am soooo glad for it (that you are who you are and that I am lucky to have you in my life)

Matt and I also discussed the use of SM for fundraisers and charitable causes and I have learned first hand the power and amazing results we can get. Now let’s get our heads together and develop a kick ass idea for the benefit of a great cause – but our social capital together, no name attached to the cause and run with it! who’s in?
