Just as people have different likes and dislikes in social settings, the same is true of social networking. Rather than trying to drag folks to a party when they "hate those kinds of parties," we would do better to relate to them in the ways they prefer.

Looks interesting. KLR, another way to put it: Social media was made for people, not people for social media. Adam, maybe it's serendipity! Jan, I hope my tips are helpful. Pass them on. :-) Julia, that's interesting. Maybe you need to arrange real-life Twitter parties! Tom, I’d never heard of the book. Looks interesting.

I guess he was referring to a bad cocktail party whereas you're talking about how to make the most of the cocktail party. Nice post, some good info.

For me, it's because I process information far better visually than audibly. In a crowd, the noise of many conversations just runs together into an overwhelming, indecipherable roar for me, even if I am trying to focus on talking with one or two people right there with me.

That book is about social media in general. Jon's post here is about Twitter. You can't copyright individual words, only complete works.
