		<description>It&#039;s &quot;ok&quot; to reach out and ask people about the type of issues they&#039;d like to be discussing. Even when you&#039;re writing for your personal blog, ask your readers what they&#039;d like to be reading. Really, it&#039;s ok to ask. I think sometimes it&#039;s as you say, we&#039;re afraid to.</description>

		<description>Great suggestions.  I recently started a facebook group to solicit input for a white paper (we call them blue papers) on good tools for running a virtual office.  I got many sign-ups, but no conversation.  I&#039;m on to plan b, which is carrying a small camera around and asking the geeky folks I meet up with to weigh in via video.  I&#039;m getting some great stuff and hope posting them back to the group helps stimulate more conversation.  Thanks for the warm twitter welcome!  @pmohara</description>

		<description>Good article Connie. I made a note of your three useful links to SEORefugee.com. Can you tell me who runs that site and if they are on Twitter.
Thanks! Your TwitterBud @lindasherman</description>
