It started with a Tweet! In the home feed of Hootsuite. How could I resist the chance to start a discussion*

"Many of the people who get upset about situations like this give things away for free all of the time. They blog, they tweet, they post Facebook updates, etc. I do it here all the time.
Somehow, that's an acceptable form of free. Yet we all know that it's not free. My time has a high value associated with it. I have to pay hosting companies. I have to pay for designers and developers and much more to keep this site going. But I do it for exposure and that exposure has led to opportunities and those opportunities have led to income and allowed me to travel all over the country doing what I love"
This to me is what networking, social media and being connected is all about - what do you think?
*My apologies to Hot Chocolate!
