Seth Godin on Social Networking and Small Business

February 16th, 2009 by Ange Recchia

This is a very good topic and one which all Social Networking Addicts (I use the term lightly) should answer once in a while.

While Twitter seems to be replacing typical blogging in some instances, how much of your time and effort go into building relationships online only to find that your business doesn’t take off like you thought it would?
Building relationships and going out of your way to do something for someone is what counts and if you have 5000 friends on Facebook or Twitter, do all of those relationships count?

The internet is a “giant cocktail party”, according to business expert Seth Godin. Here, he gives his take on whether sites like Twitter and Facebook matter to your business. Watch other videos with Seth Godin and Tom Peters in Inside the Entrepreneurial Mind: New Perspectives on Business.

What do you think? In your experience, how has Social Networking affected your business if at all?
