Good stuff. @Rachel, I agree totally -- so great making new friends through this work of ours! An added bonus. @Cara, excellent point. We are all influencers now! @Alvin, you are so right. The Zappos Columbus page is a fantastic case study in and of itself. @Leo, thanks so much for stopping by and sharing. Cheers all! Thanks all for the great comments!

I couldn't agree more. Late last year I suspended my blog, left Hill & Knowlton, joined Mullen, and re-engaged in the blogosphere. I was met with open arms and genuine generosity from people whom I've never met other than through comments and blog posts. Your assessment is right on target. Great post Lara. I couldn’t agree more.

Also, I would have never received a "DM" from the Zappos CEO offering to host the awesome tracking Columbus twitter page: http://twitter.zappos.com/Columbus Oh, and I would have never been involved with Startup Weekend, which strives to bring together a group of people and develop products and companies in a weekend.

I love meeting new people and being challenged to question myself, my organization, and the way we do business. I love that it evens the playing field between CEOS, professionals, and the new visitors alike. Great post.

It provides me with an outlet to feel like I work with people without actually being in the same building as them. I love it most for the personal interactions and relationships that are formed. Great examples, Lara. :) I love that social media breaks up the isolation and monotony.
