[...] One of my bigger goals for social media has been to really contribute to community, or find a sense of community with a few people online around me. You kindly reached out to me and that was encouraging. I want to contribute to other people’s blogs and business life in a genuine way — not with a goal to increase my presence, so to speak. I want to make genuine/real connections online; you know, the “social” in social media. (I blogged about it here.) [...]

Hi Janet, great meeting you too. You're right on target about being genuine and social. Maybe we could start a blogosphere campaign for Noise Reduction.

Dawn, I enjoyed meeting you (however briefly) and also found Jeremy’s presentation to be a great kickoff to the entire event.

There is an awful lot of noise out there, but instead of giving up on social media, if we take Jeremy’s suggestions and remember to be genuine and be social, we should attract followers who are like that too – hmm, just like in “real” life!

Hi Dawn,

Nice to read your comments from WordCamp. I too liked Jeremy’s talk and felt that it really set a great tone for our interactions in person at WordCamp as well as online. It was a very appropriate keynote address.

I’m glad that I made your day. Keep on noodling – we humans are so forgetful and our motives are so mixed. We need to be reminded to stay focused on what’s important. Thanks.
