You never know who you will meet or what the impact may have on you or your business. It is amazing to see how much the Internet has evolved over the years. Social Networks are great.

I was one of the first reporters for Business 2.0, so when I heard about the Facebook group, "I read Business 2.0 and don't want to stop," I joined the network just to be a part of it. Ever since then, I've watched in awe as my network has taken on a life of its own. I expected to get back in touch with a few old friends, sure. But I never expected to engage in an organic (if that's the right word) dialogue with other tech professionals. Not long ago I was lamenting that Google isn't as effective as it once was for searching out information. But now it seems Web 2.0 is pushing me relevant information, instead of my having to go out and hunt it down. I learned more from Jeremiah's blog than I would have if I'd spent an hour doing online research. (I recommend checking it out.) Thanks, Colin, for the introduction.
