Lisa via Twitter, immediately reached out to me to invite me to a lunch with other social networking types and Lisa's encouragement was one of my reasons for attending BarCamp. <br><br>So kudos to you to recognize a colleague..That is as giving as Lisa!

Personally, if it weren’t for Jesse Liebman, Lisa Hoffmann and Scott Hepburn I would have never started and continued with social media. They gave all that was in them just because they could and I am a better marketer and person because of it. Scott wrote a great article about Lisa that really emphasizes how her passion for giving has built her social media success.

One of the best things about Lisa is her ability to ask questions and make a great discussion. One day soon, I too expect her to be snapped up by a very savvy company looking for their own “rock star”. Hopefully, for us, that company will be here in Charlotte so we can keep her here.

Oh yeah, I guess I should say something about this Bacak guy too…well, I voted for him, so I hope he'll make a good president. Wait, what? Barack? Oh…my bad.

I'll bend over backward to help clients get the word out to the right audience, but I'm not going to sit around using the same promotional tools and techniques just to feed my own ego. (Sorry, I mean "to prove how powerful I am.") <br><br>There's a pretty big gulf between knowledge and douchery. And you've drawn up a perfect black-and-white example, Scott.

I agree with you that social media is about making connections with people, and having conversations with them.
