The question of why should customers purchase from you, as opposed to others is a key ingredient towards success. Especially since there are so many services and sites on the internet. I agree the internet can be a useful tool in getting your image out to media, but you do not want excessive tweeting or SPAMing to be your downfall. http:/freelancecamp.org It seems that Value Proposition is a tough thing to come by.

I attended the webinar and found it very useful; your article provides more depth for a pretty significant topic. Thanks for the summary.

You passed and won! But wait, what, why and how did you won? Did I get it too literal or it's the opportunity that you have joined such a wonderful webinar is what you've meant? ;) Anyway, I agree with your thoughts here. I'm sure there will be more webinars coming and hopefully that time I could be able to join again. It was just a little difficult for me because of timezone differences between US and PH... :) Hi Lisa,

Congrats! You passed and won! But wait, what, why and how did you won? Did I get it too literal or it’s the opportunity that you have joined such a wonderful webinar is what you’ve meant? ;)

Anyway, I agree with your thoughts here. I’m sure there will be more webinars coming and hopefully that time I could be able to join again. It was just a little difficult for me because of timezone differences between US and PH… :)

I see it with my chile pepper plants. I put them in soil in end of March and now you see some small plants. It is soon time to repot and then you will (hopefully) get some fruits that you could harvest! :) This process takes at least 1/2 year. Instead of hunting down your potential customers, you have conversation with them and later on you could pluck the day! :) For more on this topic, please read my post, Keep Growing. Amanda,

I'm with you, the term satellite community has a catchy ring to it. It is something you need to nurture and tend to kind of like a garden. It will take lots of attention, time and feeding to get it to grow to a stable community. But once it's grown, you can reap the benefits. You've got me excited now to go out and work on my social efforts! Sounds like a lot of good stuff was shared. I’m with you, the term satellite community has a catchy ring to it.

I attended yesterday's webinar and I enjoyed it very much. The iLinc webinar tool was very easy to use. I think that new players will take some part of Twitter's and Google's thunder in the future. My guess is a mashup of Twitter's search engine and some new kind of personalized search. I think that FriendFeed's popularity will grow when people will start to follow a thread, "vote" on messages ("like" button) and create your own rooms for special groups of users.

I am fascinated by Evan Williams and his vision for the future and constructive feedback for his former company, Blogger. Lisa Barone,
