I will also take your advice and look up Mr. Trivitt. <br /><br />I'm glad you're reading the blog and that you find it interesting. I met Rebecca through Twitter ... I've never actually talked to her ... and count her as one of the brightest people I've met. It's been my privilege to help her out along the way and would be glad to extend that to any of my readers here on {grow}! I appreciate your kind and thoughtful comments, Cheryl.

As a recent graduate of PR myself, I am in the same boat, asking many questions such as: "What is the best way to utilize social media without turning away followers with TMI posts?" and "Where is the how-to guide on tying PR and social media together?"<br /><br />Fortunately, I've found that perusing many insightful blogs - such as yours - has answered my questions. As I once tweeted: "Being a student doesn't end at graduation," because I feel that my work is even more cut out for me now. Instead of textbooks, I have blogs and articles that I must look out for. Instead of quizzes and exams that assess how much I've read, I'm thrown into the working world and my answers will affect more than my final grade. <br /><br />This was a great interview that put the advantages of social media into context for a recent grad, and really, anyone who just wants to know more about it. As technology evolves, so do our ideas. Keith Trivitt, a PR pro I thoroughly enjoy following on Twitter (@KeithTrivitt), made some great points about pursuing the "next big thing" that will help businesses connect to their consumers (http://thelostjacket.com/marketing/1995-great-year-social-media). <br /><br />Thanks again for this interview, and for introducing Miss Denison to me and other readers!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Cheryl<br />@CheElizaga Hello Mark!
