The trouble with social networking is that it is not very social at all if you think about it. Everything takes place within a virtual space and these sites are just one big glorified message board. Back in the days before social networking, people actually made connections by physically meeting one another and having phone conversations. The power of personal connection will always trump a machine any day (until robots take over the Earth, but let’s save that for another blog post). Never underestimate the power of a phone call and a hand shake. You will instantly become more memorable than just meer words and pictures on a screen.
