Even more global conversations about weather, kids, spouses, dogs are more preferable to me than “just had a rare hamburger and sweet potato fries&# posts. For me, one of the interesting things about social networking is that all of these kinds of conversations are going on in the same place at the same time.

The reason I am very adamant about using these services is because they generate leads, conversation and business. It definitely adds to the conversation! I have several connections on LinkedIn that do not use Twitter and occasionally they will start conversations based upon my tweets. Thanks for the conversation.
