Ribbon, Facebook is definitely a complicated beast. I think a lot of people have a love-hate relationship with it. It might just be easier to decide you don't like it, like you've done. At any rate, I'm glad you stopped by my blog.

Chris Brogan, yeah, I totally see your point. The "damned if you do, damned if you don't" position is not a fun one to be in, either. Your approach. though—embracing the chaos and staying close to the people that matter—seems to strike just the right balance.

Kimberly Beaven, this is a great summary of where I see the main benefits of social media: an opportunity "to foster better communications, grow as a person and in their business and...as a launching pad." You nailed it! That's the motivation, and luckily we have many great models and teachers, like Chris, to learn from.
