Baffled by Social Networking - Internet Marketing?

I remember in 1984 when I graduated college - the "good old days" (geez, I sound old!) when the New York Times Help Wanteds were two sections thick, and were THE place to look for a job. A time when you completed your writing assignments longhand on a pad; when commercial artists actually did mechanicals to create marketing brochures and such. What happened???

I thought my typewriter was pretty cool too, then came the word processor which freaked me out - but I learned it...and I wrote on! Then came my first computer - the Mac Plus. Took me a month to get it out of the box, and when I did, another month to learn it! From there, the rest was history - now I have a super-duper custom-built computer which is the bread and butter of my business. Seems we all want faster, better, smarter equipment - but with that comes learning how to make the most of it. The computer has evolved from a tool to write with to an all-encompassing, self-contained world for marketing, meeting, socializing, researching, dating and much more.

Lately, I realized that I needed to take the next step into the undeniably popular arena of social networking. People want to connect, on personal and professional levels, and I found this podcast particularly interested given by a guy who himself just stumbled upon success in this here-today, here-to-stay way of technology. Check it out - Peter Shankman gave a great talk sponsored by River Communications Group in New Hope, PA!
