Mother,
Right on. Did you see Remarkablogger’s suggestion for creating a pack to gain traffic?

J. Erik,
I’m not on Flickr yet either. Not sure if I will be. We’ll see. And I’m digging Twitter these days.

Michelle,
Nice. Thanks for linking to your live podcast. I’ve been using Twitter more and more. Interesting how it’s working.

The link to my live audio podcast is on my name above.

Fav tool? Probably Twitter. Finally feel like I’m hitting my stride with it.

I still haven’t embraced Flickr but its next on the list.

In recent months a group of fellow green bloggers and I have been stumbling each others posts. At first it was a gesture – hey lets see what it does to our analytics but now we are really reading and savoring each other’s work, and now strategizing on ways we can do more.

Well, first of all thanks for the round up you got there – that was pretty cool. BTW my name is spelled Stephen, not Steven. Just a preference.

The secret? I think while the content was excellent and I did write what I learned from each speaker, it was all about building relationships that got the most buzz. Why? Because the universe brought together and amazing group of people that could not have been better matched the way we were at SOBCon08.

I mean consider this – I made at least 3 “best friends” – that’s more than I’ve made in a whole lifetime! Literally. That says a lot about the composition and make-up of the crowd being pulled together.

Don’t get me wrong – the content was FABULOUS. But for me, I got my money’s worth just from the personal connections I made. That made all the difference for me.

Michael,
Great to meet you too.

I was pretty blown away when I started cataloging all these links. Truthfully, it became much larger a project than I expected.

Adam,
I use Spaces, Exposé and Widgets on my Mac so much that I can’t remember life without them.

Been playing with Tumblr too. Still finding the best way for me to use it.

One tool? Well, I’m looking into Twitter (would love to hear how you’re doing all that, Joanna!), and I’m playing with Tumblr more (to be made public soon).

But the main thing I’m trying out is Spaces on my Mac – sitting next to Chris Cree, and seeing him flip back and forth, it looked like a fantastic complement to Exposé.

One tool that’s made a difference? Twitter. For conversation, connection, learning, finding new resources, spreading the word, keeping my blog focused, sharing other ideas in a more fluid stream.
