Great post Mari. I really like the comparison and call to action. I’m fairly new to Facebook, but I can already see the value. I especially like your thoughts on finding a niche. That is a very important point when using this as a tool or any other social networking site for business building. Since I work with people to help them manage their time more effectively, I have seen where Facebook and other online tools can be a time waster too. By focusing in how we use it, and applying a strategic approach, I’m sure it will really pay off.

Hi Mari, great post…trying to get clear on what niche, goals, market etc seems to be half my problem at the moment. There are these ‘gold nuggets’ that seem to be appearing all the time. They are very enticing but take your eye off the ball! Need more focus which you seem to provide.
Thanks
Conrad

I agree, Mari, great comparisons of the gold rush and social marketing. I had to be led kicking and screaming into this media but honestly, rhe riches in networking are better than gold!
