Actually, I am famous now, but only because I've had my picture taken with you. You know, I've written about it before, but one of the biggest revelations I had in my first year was how potent Twitter can be. I had a "Facebook first" strategy when I first got involved with SM, and within a month Twitter had become my primary platform. It is one of those things that defies explanation in some ways -- you just have to get in there and do it to understand how it works (and I still consider myself a beginner). In the end, what I discovered is that relationship building part of it, and that has made it very powerful. I appreciate it Bill!

In many ways, it was a lot like a sugar rush -- good in the short term but not much resonance.  You always have the great analogies Kaarina!

Great post. Honestly, I never really think about the back-end stuff when it comes to what a viral post can do. Good insight. Oh-- and I want to hang out with Gini Dietrich's server. She sounds awesome. HA! Great post. Honestly, I never really think about the back-end stuff when it comes to what a viral post can do. Good insight.

I have been feeling a little bit under the weather lately....... Very creative, entertaining and enjoyable my friend. But you do touch on a good point; yes it went viral, but so what? In the big scheme of things what did it actually mean? Are you famous now, rich, better looking? Just like fame or a big win, it can be so fleeting and so damn fickle. If this is what you are always chasing in social, you will never be satisfied and you will certainly never 'win'. I couldn't agree more about the one-on-one communication medium because at the end of the day it is still about relationships which has to start one person at a time. You still have to find out what is sustainable for you; what works. Good to see you at Mark's; you certainly took this one out of the yard. As they say in baseball, touch 'em all baby because this one is gone....... You didn’t bring any of that virus to Polk County when we shot skeet did you?
