Thanks for all of this, Jayme. I'm sorry I'm a tush-head and am only getting here now. For some reason I thought you were tweeting out the link to the YouTube video and I didn't realize you had written this whole very kind post.

I stink :(

Thank you!!!!

Adding to my list, Go to Social Slam 2013. Looks like you got to meet many of my favorite blogging neighbors. 

I totally agree, Margie! I have gravitated more to FB lately than Twitter and I used to be an AVID tweeter....well, for me anyway. I think it's as you stated so eloquently here: we get to know people more in the FB realm than on Twitter and it IS less business (or sales-oriented) than Twitter. On FB, people can connect and get to see a more intimate side of a person, even when tied to a business. 

And thumbs up on George Takei!

Wow, was that really THE Margie Clayman? I wasn't sure if she actually existed; I thought maybe her legendary status was only mythical. And who does she work for? I don't think I caught that.......

I don't think I've ever seen her on Facebook......................not.....................:).

Twitter's still my gig; all Facebook does is let people know how much I'm goofing off and we can't be having that now, can we?

I seriously stalk Margie; she still doesn't know what to do with me. She tolerates me for now. 

Great comments, Margie. I agree with you and think that even in non-family-owned businesses like professional services (legal, accounting, A/E) social media affords a tremendous opportunity to let people get to know you a little better. I also think the Facebook audience has a true interest in the business news and offerings; our LIKES may be fewer but they are generally better quality. 

 @susansilver You should totally add it to your list!!!

 @EricaAllison Thanks Erica! Yeah, it's hard to imagine how I spent so much time on Twitter at first. It seems like it has become more broadcasty than it was a couple of years ago - not as many chances to talk to people. Whereas on Facebook - you can just barge in on anyone, even people you don't know sometimes. How fun is that??? :)

 @bdorman264 I know exactly what to do with you, Bill. Give you a BEEG HUG. But you keep avoiding me. Very odd behavior for a stalker. I don't quite get it. But who am I to question a professional? :)

 @bdorman264 You better watch it; that Margie is ornery on FB sometimes; I've seen it! Great to have you in my house especially as I've not been to anyone's house in weeks; sigh. Thank you!

 @pmswish Thank you! Yes, in any type of business getting to know people is 100% key. I think when your last name is on the door though, people tend to draw more correlation between who you are as a person and what you might be like in the business world. Of course, this is not always a quid pro quo, but at least it helps you give a good guess, right? :)

 @pmswish Where is that Margie? Did she just do a fly by?

 @margieclayman One thing you can count on with me is, I NEVER avoid a hug....:).
