Technology is a thing of the present. Many baby boomers fear it will define us and want nothing to do with the new developments (and cling on to old time favorites). Technology was created to serve us, to expand us, to make us see farther, listen more, connect deeper.

The presentation was well received and the requests for me to speak and coach others began to pour in. It wasn’t an intentional shift, it naturally evolved over time. A friend, who knew of my growing interest and skills, invited me to speak to a local organization and share some tips.

Maybe the content isn’t what you expected or you’ve got presenters, who may be good at many things, but presenting isn’t one of them. Even armed with a plan, you’ll find yourself in some sessions that don’t meet your expectations.

I’ve been an avid user of LinkedIn and Facebook since attending your presentation at the Chamber of Commerce, and have since gotten to know you has a friend. I will probably never use Twitter, but it’s fun to hear about it, and how others are using it.) Thanks for helping make social media unscary, and for your friendship!

I understand the business model and opportunities LBS (location based services) present and will even check-in once in while on Foursquare myself. Maybe people should go after the diet pill spammers instead of wasting time against foursquare and gowalla. My two cents. I rarely, though, publish those updates to my other networks.

How to present that offline? I usually put a sticker at the back of my cards my links to whatever I’m presenting and my social networks information. You are much more than your position/title/employer. You are so right that having yet another way to easily connect with others is an excellent tool.

In my experience, many of the people I’ve met online, whether I’ve subsequently met them in person or not, have turned out to be some of my closest friends and best professional contacts – including my present partner.
