For anyone who has read these posts, you know I am a big proponent of networking. Whether the networking is done in person at a meeting or convention or via social media you can never know too many people. I’ve been doing a LOT of networking via Facebook and Twitter for the past couple years. That activity increased even more when I started podcasting myself. Over this time I have made several friends in the social media. The one downside to interacting with people via Twitter and Facebook is, unless they live nearby, you are unlikely to ever meet them.
