Somehow I missed the announcement. Most of my thoughts have already been voiced here, that being, you can't use just one means of communication. People appreciate technology - it makes life simpler - but they also want the human touch. Great reminder to get out from behind the screen. Ginger – Welcome to AG! Somehow I missed the announcement.

Ines- I am glad to be here too! It is now challenging to me when I have clients who I can't rely on email with. I have one client who wants to sign everything in person- nothing sent via email or fax. It is just how they work and they are good clients so I have to adjust. Of course, I would never find them on facebook either! Dale- I agree, text is more personal than other mediums. I like that you have to get right to the point with it. I can guarantee you will hear from me one day soon. I am calendaring in my face to face book experiment (right after Inman Connect!) Brian- Lazy is an excellent way to describe it. Unfortunately, the longer you wait to connect, the harder it is too! I am thrilled you are coming to connect- can't wait to meet you!!! Vance- I also built my business that way. Contact, Contact, Contact. It just works. Now I am trying to find a way to really bring together my love for technology to bridge that gap. Monika- thanks. I am thrilled and honored to be here! Eric- true. You don't want to send them a text if they don't know how. But do you think a phone call would make someone uncomfortable? I can't imagine feeling uncomfortable if someone called me that I am connected with on Facebook. I would be unhappy if they just called and started hitting me up for business, but that is not what I am talking about- just a simple "hey, how are you doing". If that is too difficult, it could also be a quick email that says, n"oticed your name on my facebook yesterday. I haven't seen you in so long. I would love to grab a cup of coffee or meet up for a drink" Glenn- exactly! Chuck G- great suggestion. I have been avoiding the podcast, which is actually amusing because I was a Broadcast Journalism major in college and have reporting experience!! It is on my "to do" list.

Relying totally on one or the other is essentially ignoring a big chunk of potential business. Sitting behind the keyboard is easy because there's no threat of rejection. Picking up the phone is very much like starting that uncomfortable conversation in the grocery store (great analogy, by the way.) Want a way to bridge that gap, kind of an "interim" step? Podcast. Or better yet, video podcast. That way, people who are visitiing your site can actually hear and see you before you step out and make that personal touch.
