I'm really glad Stephen built on the concept of Return on Involvement (ROI ;-), it's an important one and probably the most critical message from my warm up in the morning.<br><br>Which brings us back to you -- you lean in the conversation, keen, interested, listening actively. How can anyone resist that? It was a delight spending some time learning about your work and ideas. I've been to the Apple store where I'm about to make the big shift to Mac. Then I'll take a look at Twitter. Promise. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and that of your community. And the niche portal ideas with video interviews totally rocks!

I mean, you have upwards of 1,000 people patiently waiting for your next thought... that's downright impressive! But aside from your massive presence in the New Media world, you were a really great speaker (fantastic for your first time!) and brought the basics of new media integration to those of us who had no idea what twitter was and had never (gasp!) commented on a blog. Most importantly, you drove home the message that this kind of online CONVERSATIONAL COMMUNITY is the most organic form of human interaction via 21st century means. And I personally appreciated that connection because some people see social networking and new media and new and different, when in reality it's bringing us back to the days of good old human connection.

Overall, it's wise to listen before speaking, which most of us do. I look at Twitter as this huge repository if disparate skill sets, disciplines, and knowledge. I love to see what everybody is doing, from the mundane to the exciting. It all moves by so fast that something will catch my eye and I'll latch on to a discussion. Other times I tweet what I'm doing because it may be of interest to folks. But overall, I think it's important to listen, engage, and respond to people. Be real. Be human.

For me, it's been somewhat random: basically checking the timeline and following people with interesting comments and basically following anyone who follows me. I'm a comedian and I basically use Twitter, number one, for fun and to work on my "material", connect with friends and also just to interact with as many people as possible. ...and, yes, I found out about you on twitter!

You lay it on 'em. Dawn some aquarius. Explode cyber into MSM, or back the other way. Everytime I get down about social media, and I do, way down, then I get re-inspired by you folk, most of whom I met soley through social media platforms, such as yourself, Jarvis, Brogan, Pulver. Not so much Scoble. But that's another post altogether. Did you get to catch JMS on AC360 last night? Rock on Georgia folk! You are just the zeitgist, dude! You lay it on ‘em. Dawn some aquarius.
