We're located in central WV in a town of approximately 5500 people. My wife had the gumption to start a Cosmetics Manufacturing Company in rural America.

She studied and was certified in Social Media Marketing. Twitter has been the mainstay of her grassroots marketing (bluegrass) and FaceBook finishes the job. Puts her on an equal playing field with the "big boys."

You've tackled an essential subject for all small business and entrepreneurs.

I read your post again, and see that you quoted my "Twitter is so trivial...like an insane asylum." tweet.

Yep. Sometimes I'm frustrated by a large amount of drivel tweets, but everybody knows I'm a hardcore Twitter Addict, in spite of my frequent complaints and critiques.

I sure wish Twitter would fix the bugs and downtime.

I'm so honored that you quote me in your post here...

I'm so honored that you quote me in your post here.

Social media is very close to my heart, and my participation in blogs, RSS, YouTube, and Web 2.0 tools is one big reason I was hired for my current job as Sales Manager and Web Analyst for a web design/hosting firm.

I recently read a quote somewhere that social network members are simply "people with nothing better to do".

That person will likely lose their job in the near future, since socnet-phobia is an incurable disease that threatens the health of his company.

When socnetopathic people attack us for being "trivial", I like to point out that telephone users are also trivial.

But we know that a bit of trivia makes us more human, and Twitterers who only tweet links to their blogs or to products seem suspicious, like they're gaming or exploiting the community.
