It doesn't matter what level of "connector" we are ourselves; it's the connections we make through others that can really grow us. Cheers! (and make sure you finish the post and share it with us!)

Started a similar post a month or so ago and never finished, so this will inspire me. Way better than a FF or something with no substance to it. This is the true value of social media to an individual: the ability to discover and connect with new people; to freedom that comes from eliminating the artificial hierarchies that often exist inside companies (based on title or generation); the chance to explore your own ideas and get real time reactions to them. I have found college students, creatives in New Zealand, planners in the UK, screenwriters in LA and a few people up there in Canada to join me in the conversation. Thanks again. Danny,

The concept of being connected to people all over the world, often through Twitter, people I had never met and might never meet. Early on, I selected people to follow and of your four choices only David Sprink is new to me, but I will fix that, I followed Sonny from the start. Susan and I met on Twitter and she was kind enough to review a video script for me for Wausau Whitewater and I'll never eat hummus without thinking of her! Jim, also was kind enough to give me price coaching when I was stalling on launching my website for Design Resumes after 25 years in business, and you, Danny, set the model that I used to push communication and fundraising using ChipIn for Wausau Whitewater. There are more people on my favorites list and it grows every day. Social media was a totally new concept to me last fall but it completely intrigued me.

I know it's too easy to say Danny, but I really have followed lots of great people and blogs by connecting with Danny. Louis has also influenced me enough to write a recent blog post about how he is a filter that allows me to be more efficient.<br><br>Anyways, keep up the good work!

What a great question! Really enjoyed hearing your picks Danny@. I have really enjoyed getting to know Sonny and David through their tweets and blogs. I am regularly impressed by their thoughts, and learning more about their background makes it easy to see why. I am looking forward to learning from Susan and Jim- appreciate your directing us toward them!<br><br>Keith, I very much appreciate the kind words, and hope that you realize how much I learn from you as well. Your positive energy is contagious and it is exciting to see the community you and the #PRBC are developing. There are so many folks who teach me every day... through social media, in the office, and at home. From my boss to my 3 year old (who, let's face it, is my boss at home) I try to surround myself with folks I can learn from. Danny, thanks for being one of them! Who's your learning post?
