so true, so simple, so brilliant!!! I agree, very much it is enlightening.

#3 businessexpertandre on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

True. Wow, Dale Carnegie seems so old school these days

#4 BusinessExpertLouise on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

Absolutely

#5 businessexpertschris on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

Listening to Penny is very enlightening. Such a simple concept yet many would not think to take advantage of the networking potential of social media. Potentially, Facebook can be like walking into a room full of pro’s in your field!

#6 businesstvAmanda on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU

#7 nickolaswinder on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

Certainly brings Dale Carnegie into cyber space.

I agree with your comment meenleob about testimonials. I work in a profession where people in management who want to move on, receive a good reference just to ensure that they leave the work place they are currently in because of the terrible job they have done. Facebook can be shallow, but you don’t have to accept a friend invite! You can make your account as superficial as you want.

#9 meenieob on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

some wise words - I like Penny’s idea of treating people online as you would in the real world. Must admit I am not keen on online relationships (facebook et al) as feel they allow relationships to be incredibly shallow and exist when they probably would have no basis to in the real world. Not sure about her ‘testimonials’ comment - anyone can ask another person to provide a testimonal for them … doesn’t mean it is genuine and I think people need to be more aware of this.

#10 businessexpertsjax on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

I agree with you Andre. I have had a number of my connections on social networks write me testimonials when I haven’t even been in contact with them… I really don’t value them that highly now. Mostly I’d prefer to go on recommendations.

#11 kelcanderson1 on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

I’ve watched a few interviews with Penny and she is just so knowledgable and passionate about what she does. We need more people like that in the world!

#12 truckies2 on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

Thanks Penny for the ideas - makes sense really

#13 jittyslitter on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

many people don’t know how to relate in the real world let alone the online world lol!

#14 jittyslitter on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

Lots more to come :)

#15 jittyslitter on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

The one thing the professional journo’s do have in their favour is contacts and a press card ;-)

#16 jittyslitter on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

The problem many of them have it that you can get away with poorly thought out garbage in the papers, but not in a blog when your audience probably knows more about the topic than you do…

Case in point is football, where you have a journo, who maybe takes in 20 or so games from any one team in a year, versus fans who may attend 60+ matches, and watch games 2-3 times on DVR…. The standard of coverage from those sorts of bloggers is actually far higher than what you’ll find on the Guardian.

#17 businesstvAmanda on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

I personally always look for testimonials and comments other people have made on their blogs etc before i even contemplating connecting with someone

#18 BusinessExpertLouise on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

It does look like a great chair doesn’t it?? As for your genuine testimony debate businesstvAndre, do you think that some people have the idea that controversy causes debate, debate (even negative) is advertising?

#19 businesstvAndie on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

I love her chair! I want one of those!

#20 bimport52 on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

Clear, sensible, specific advice, technically well presented, charisma came over, great seeing how a woman can lead

#21 womannie on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

A woman who really understands about networking both online and off - known by many as the mother of networking she was a visionary and pioneer when she founded Ecademy over 10 years ago.

#22 businesstvrebecca on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

such commonsense!

#23 businessexpertsjax on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

hah she does have a great name.. I hadn’t really thought about writing testimonials for people because I don’t really like when people ask me to write a testimonial for them. I do agree with the fact that we do need to find friendship from these profiles and connect with people as we would face to face and be totally honest.. nothing worse than fake profiles!

#24 wildedan10 on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

She has a great name! To be honest social networking to me is not far of stalking! She is good in the video though

#25 EllinMay on 12.22.09 at 6:07 am

Makes lots of sense!
