Instead their fingers are madly pounding away on the keyboard of their text messaging systems. Read their blog, read their text. It's all the same to them!

I love it. You're speaking to me, I just know it! :) Seriously, perfect. Was just at a weekend event where I met up with several Tweeps and Facebook friends. It wasn't a social media event, yet we had developed a relationship there that was cultivated even further at the live event. I'm definitely a fan of cultivating relationships vs. collecting contacts. Now, I'm a fan of you. Thanks to @ctunstall for sharing your post with me! Brilliant!! I love it.
