Anyone can visit online meeting places like Digg and Reddit and promote the voices and opinions of others, and anyone can mobilize a group of people around a common cause on Facebook or elsewhere.

Don’t use a Facebook Group. Of over 1500 friends that I have, I’m constantly being pitched to join groups I have no interest in. That might not apply to Facebook fan groups but the idea is similar. I am new to your blog. After all, Facebook could eat the web. It’s an irritant.

Plurk: Real Nested Conversations Brought to the Microblogging Platform A few days ago, I noticed via Twitter search tool Summize that Aaron Brazell had been talking about me on his Twitter stream.

It’s not enough to be insular and focus on your groups of friends. You may find people who are surfing outside your social circle who might be potentially interested in your products. At business networking events, try to get to know people outside your group of trusted colleagues. You never know who you might meet.
