Seth Godin on Social Media

Kevin Thompson re-posted this YouTube video of Seth Godin answering a question at a live event on whether social networking is valuable for business.

In less than two minutes, he shares more wisdom than most of the self-proclaimed "social media experts" combined. He explains the difference between fake and real networking, and it's great advice every business owner should take to heart.

You'll have to watch the video to hear Seth's answer in full - it's what I've always suspected behind the hype and buzz about Twitter, Facebook, etc.

What have you always suspected?
I read/watch a lot of Seth Godin. He is not the best source of social media connectivity because he himself says his ADD keeps him from conversing online. Therefore there is no way he could benefit from the new REAL relationships, support and sales some of us do. People getting jobs starting with online connections is the first example. Sometime I'll tell you a few success stories of real relationship and sales because of FB and twitter, you'll love it!
