That's the one problem with making a list like this, you can't include everyone that should be here!<BR/><BR/>Eric if this list helps you meet some new smart people to follow, then I've done my job. You also should consider following the commenters as well.Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-17549465949893580502008-10-22T06:24:00.000-05:002008-10-22T06:24:00.000-05:00Mack, I would be a bit careful with generalization...Mack, I would be a bit careful with generalizations. Speaking for myself, I follow people back on Twitter who interact and have a two-way conversation. It's a similar strategy I have on LinkedIn, except there I link only to people I have met so I can be more effective at helping with connections. My goal is to provide actionable content for readers and connections for the network, including resources. As for responding to comments and helping others make connections and shine, well, the doing is reward enough ;-)Valeria Maltonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231438022604527907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-59877176374485518262008-10-22T00:17:00.000-05:002008-10-22T00:17:00.000-05:00Great post (as usual) Mack.

We intend to utilize Social Media to grow our business and increase our customer retention. The benefits so far have been significant.
