Arghhh! Oh well, maybe next time. Btw, would like to connect and see how I can help out with TedxWindyCity. Last I heard it was in the burbs so a city-based initiative is one I'd like to support.

Connecting the Dots

The Scenario



Many clients who I have had the opportunity to meet are looking for a quick and easy way to dabble in social media by creating a Facebook fan page and / or Twitter account without fully understanding how social media can impact their business.
