Meeting, working with people through social networking sites or email or online conferences will never take the place of phone calls and meeting in person! Keep it up. I like what you're writing!

Without question, social networking has allowed me to interact with and develop initial professional relationships with far more contacts than I could without it. However, as you said, it is always best to be able to follow-up the on-line greet with an in-person meet. Social media makes the world feel like a smaller place because it removes the geographic and linguistic barriers that can limit our real-life “social networking” circles to people who live and work near us, and who can communicate with us in our native language. However, social media can still retain a “digital distance” with our technology (computers, mobile devices, and even telephones) separating us in ways that an in person conversation does not. Best Regards, Jim Excellent post Terri!
