		<description>Thanks David! I need to add your name to the list too. You&#039;ve provided some great advice.

Hey Jeremy - life is busy &amp; good! :) When I went to get your link I found some interesting reading - thanks! I&#039;m sure that others will find it useful too

And Tom I totally agree about the Cluetrain Manifesto. In fact Valerie Maltoni had tagged me in a meme &amp; I just responded to that here: http://conniebensen.com/blog/2008/05/04/the-cluetrain-manifesto-conversation/</description>

		<description>Connie,

great post and thanks for the mention and link.

Another book I always recommend to people starting out in this area is the Cluetrain Manifesto. It is a fabulous primer into how how the Internet has changed the world and what you need to do to catch up.</description>

		<description>Hey there Connie,

Great story on how to set goals and accomplish great things.  The social media community opens their arms to anyone with the willingness to learn and give back and you&#039;ve proven what wonderful things can come from that experience.  Bravo!

		<description>Thanks Connie &amp; Beth. I have really appreciated your support &amp; help. Both of you contribute in your own ways too. 

You just reminded me that I was going to ask others to share their stories on their blogs.</description>

		<description>Connie, I really enjoyed reading your story. The other day I was doing a live video interview and mentioned you as a great example of a community manager -- but I blanked and couldn&#039;t remember the company name. Sorry! I&#039;ll email the host so they can add a link.</description>
