(Good evening Andy.) You pose a question that I have for some reason been avoiding. Blogging does take up time, but in the long run, it is a quick effective way to communicate opinions, ideas and decisions. I think online networking is going to become the main source of communication for businesses big and small. Social Media has already infiltrated our school systems. Blogging about current event articles or the answers to the chapter ten review. It allows opinions and other views to be seen. It also shows how well you understand and comprehend topics. So I guess I miss-spoke, I have been blogging in school for about a year. It's funny how I have been preparing for this(communicating via Blog) and not even knowing it. All I'm saying…In time, we will be doing almost all business online. Adapting to “the way” is not always easy…but that’s how you know it’s worth it. Believe it or not this is my first time blogging.

I think tweeting and blogging works very well for people trying to be visible to those who use the mediums, but I have yet in my own very small circle of business owners and execs to find any who actively participate in those mediums themselves. The first reason they give is "no time". What are the findings on your end? Do a lot of your prospects credit the blogs, LinkedIn, and other social media outlets for actually finding you, or is it more part of establishing credibility once they do? Great post!
