Jeremy is RIGHT ON here. People don’t care about what you need until you care about what they need. Social media is simply the next logical step in how personal relationships can be initiated and nurtured. Decades ago face to face meetings made up the majority of our personal communications. Then came the telephone. Now the internet. The basic principles of relationships remain the same; if you’re a “user” people will gravitate away from you, if you are a “giver” they will gravitate towards you. Dale Carnegie wrote about this concept in detail in “How to Win Friends and Influence People” nearly 80 years ago. The philosophy and wisdom in that book is as true today as it was 8 decades ago and will be just as relevant 8 decades from now.

Nice title! Intrigued me enough to read on. Very good point, and a reason why I often ignore all this Social Media mumbo jumbo… because it is often a lot of JUNK I don’t care to read.
