I just discovered the Writer's Digest Community http://ping.fm/ZJpCT and am excited to link up in yet another way with fellow/sister writers and editors!
It astounds me how much I've heard and read in just the past week regarding connecting with others via social-networking sites! I know all these articles and ideas didn't just come about this week, so I gather it's because my mind has suddenly been opened to the concept, thanks to a sister businesswoman who has quickly become someone I count as a friend (shout-out to Tanya Morrison: www.360degreewoman.org !) and who led me, in turn, to link up with Sabrina Gibson (www.SmartAndSticky.com) under whose tutelage I will begin a Social Network Maximization mentoring program in just a couple of weeks.
Social-networking sites have grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years, and they're not just for swapping gossip or quips about one's day anymore! Not that there's anything wrong with that casual socializing, but I find myself intrigued and fascinated by the (still relatively) new opportunity for broadening our communities, our business networks, the knowledge base from which we may benefit, and -- if we are willing -- our worldviews in such a relatively easy and inexpensive way. Even those of us who are self-employed and fairly "solitarily-employed" are by no means "out here on our own" anymore! In the words of the beloved Mister Rogers, "It's such a good feeling...!" and "It's a beautiful day in the [cyber-]neighborhood!... Won't you be my neighbor?"
