Nice contribution to this post. Thanks for sharing the highlights of how this post was valuable to you and how you were connected.

One thing to add to this discussion is that for you (and for me) this wouldn't have happened if:
1 – @babygorillas wouldn't have been generous with #FF
2 – Either one of us were not engaged in twitter
3 – Either one of us had a twitter profile that did not communicate our value (our reason to be followed).

It took several things to make this work, for you to land on this page and then comment on it. I think most people in small businesses don't get the fact that all the pieces of the puzzle are important.

Thanks so much for stopping in and sharing your thoughts. I hope to see you around these parts more often! Time for me to drive on over to your blog now ;)

I'm going Lobal?baby!

I just started following Chris Brogan on Twitter today. I saw the link to this post, and coincidentally my girlfriend works at the Greater Boston CVB. Not too many people that I know are familiar with CVB's in general, so this caught my eye. I've been having a tough time explaining why all of this web presence is important, and why it may not seem important all the time, but simple connections online can bring people and businesses together to create something that otherwise wouldn't have come into fruition.

I'm so glad you wrote this because its tough to explain the benefits of social media to those that are using it. I'd like to add a little more if you don't mind. This radio interview was the first where Elizabeth and I used Twitter & FB to solicit and field questions. We tweeted that we were about to go on air and encouraged followers to call in, listen or send us a question they'd like answered. We had no idea what the response would be but we actually generated some interest. Sheila picking up on it was above all, one of the most amazing hits we could imagine. Her interest that in and of itself was a huge thing it its on way. But what listeners didn't know was one of the questions we were asked by Teresa was answered by a quick search via cell phone to our website. I didn't know ticket prices & specific times off the top of my head so with a quick search, I was able to find it and answer the question. Add to this, the fantastic "atta girls" I had from FB & Twitter followers and the immediate post of our photo on the radio stations FB acct; and you can see on both sides what social media has done to communications. You must have events details posted online, you must have fresh content on your site, and you must let people know its out there. I stand amazed at the powerful effect social media has on our activities here at the CVB. Love this article Justin!
