Ethan,
You hit on what I believe is one of the core benefits of social media – being “reminded” that you are there aka – “top of mind awareness”. Besides educating to build trust Social Media allows us to stay in front of our customers and prospects in non-obtrusive ways.
Thank you for the comment. I appreciate it.

I agree with your third point. I believe social media helps keep people connected even when we don’t see each other face to face. There are many people I am “reminded” of every morning when I log onto facebook. I may not read what they say, but I am reminded they are in business. For my friends, it is nice to see what they are doing. I know more about what happens in the life of people I care about.

Now, I still prefer a bottle of wine on the deck with them – but at least I know bits of their lives.

Scott,

I love the business card analogy.. . reminds me of bread crumb trails. It’s all about leaving bread crumb trails back out our websites or our businesses, isn’t it?
Thanks for the thoughtful comments.
