One time a kid, who works part time as a retailer no less, told me, "business owners are so stupid, how do they not get the value of social media." This "kid" as you put it had no accomplishments to speak of and we as knocking actual business owners. Now, I'm not saying all business owners are geniuses, but they've made it further along the business journey than a kid with a part time job and a self proclaimed social media expert. The irony is, while social media is great for networking, the generation coming after me (I'm 30) may be prone to losing actual networking skills. Hope things are going well with your new venture! Happy Holidays and you have a lunch, on me, coming to you in January of 2010. In fact, if I could be the first guy to buy you lunch in 2010, It'd be a good thing! Thanks for the blog!

So many people want a magic answer from the tools and forget that it is just a tool to be better at relationships (which is where the best business happens)! Thanks for posting this!
