First, being successful with Social Media is all about authenticity, honesty, and transparency when dealing with others. That's respect.

Second, when you show someone that respect via Social Media, others can see it. That's leverage.

It's a powerful combination.

It's amazing to me how new technology and processes point back and reinforce the basic ideals that have always been important.

Growing up in Waco, TX, my Dad used to go to a guy (Tommy) alot like the guy you describe in your blog post. Talk about a trip down memory lane.

I really feel like use of social media is a way for me to get a view of who I'm dealing with... If you are disingenuous on social sites, you are probably disingenuous in real life. I think it will get to the point where people will do business with Small Biz A because they follow them socially.

If we'd all step out of our Twitter bubble once in a while, I think we'd see a lot of people out there doing business right.
