Just a quick comment about face-to-face versus online networking. I marvel at the plethora of online social networks popping up like mushrooms. I appreciate you naming a few of your favorites. Somehow it just seems inappropriate to me for business professionals to be hanging out with the 'kids' on some of today's popular online social groups. I like my computer, but I love people. For me online will never replace face-to-face. Whereas my small business involves a local service; the internet will augment my networking, but never substitute for it. Thanks Dr. Misner for offering these great podcast to keep us on the cutting edge. Respectfully, Tom Doiron http://www.AblePaintingPlus.com Atlanta Dear Dr. Misner,
