In the real world "communication" suggests "conversation" -- meaning not just telling people what you know and demonstrating your skills, but listening and responding to what other people have to say as well. Ideally, that would happen in the online world as well, but sadly it seems that the "social media networking skills" most people employ online tend to involve broadcasting rather than communicating and connecting in any real sense. No wonder we don't know what to do when we're face-to-face with real live humans. We've forgotten it's not just about us...it's a two-way street.

I'd like to add that, while using online social media to spread your "word" is a powerful viral technique, there's also "word of mouth" advertising. When people know you and trust you on a personal level, they tend to spread your "brand" without even knowing they are doing you a favor! And, body language also plays a part in communicating with others. Your body language gives people all kinds of impressions, good and bad. Don't underestimate the power of person to person contact!
