Rocky,
As we initially hooked up on Twitter (as realtors) I have been able to take some great ques from you and this article hits it on the head. I have been asking myself, as I get started, how do I find more local connections? While I’ve experimented a little, you provide some great options to “meet and greet” others in the local area without them all being realtors.

Rocky: Good point about connecting with locals-this is something I’ve been *trying* to work on. Tweetdeck makes it kind of easy by letting you set up feeds based on keywords. I find it helpful in spotting potential new friends on twitter without a huge amount of searching. Haven’t figured out how to automate that on facebook yet. Also, I’ve reconnected w/a few high school people too…unfortunately it was through myspace bleh.

There is a part of 2.0 that is highschoolish and cliqueish. People feel offended when they have bad ideas & bad plans you attack, and get all huffy. That is the part I can do without. I don’t monetize people, but I do want to extract recreation and value from what I do online.

I’m going to back Rocky on this one. There is more ways to skin the perverbeal client.

Is Web 2.0 a great way to connect with people? Yes. Is it just as easy to miss the mark and waste your time and efforts? Yes.

I am not good (yet) at social media networking, but sitting for an hour with Rocky and it becomes obvious that he has a plan. I’m developing mine, not there yet but soon.
