Patricia,

Keep on keeping on. It’s a marathon – not a sprint! It sounds like you’re on the right track! Keep on keeping on!

wow, this was just what I needed to read today! Thank you! I am attempting to write my 1 year anniversary of blogging piece and when I look at my plan from this time last year - it looks like I am not moving or doing the right things, but I have 400 readers drop by every week, and look at 1.4 pages and a 54% bounce rate....and am technically - extremely challenged... It looks like there is still hope for me! Patricias last blog post..Mending Fences

Tim –

Old habits die hard. What I try to get clients to understand is that the only difference between THEN and NOW is that now you KNOW what people are saying – and you can “respond” where before you didn’t KNOW how the message was being received.

Amelia,

All of us out here on the “bleeding edge” are pioneers. I love the thought of telling my grandchildren som day about the wild, wild web 2.0 (when the web they’re dealing with is web 251.0). I’m sure we’ll be saying, “I remember the days when we used a keyboard and a mouse to get our thoughts onto the web….”

Thanks for writing this article. Social media is actually one of the things I find hardest of all – there is so little control over it in terms of other people. It requires a conversation. It requires an enormous amount of time too. But I guess the fact that its a relatively new concept, means that us, the first users will make all the mistakes that future generations will learn from.

I inevitably have this conversation with my clients. Often they see social media work for them and then they expect to be able to control it. This is similar to the 'guarantee' requests for SEO clients. Best practices apply for both. Tim Andrens last blog post..Adapt or perish
