My image made from my twitter friends' profiles.
Over the Christmas holiday, I highlighted 30 of my many twitter relationships that moved to face-to-face relationships in 2011.
This is power of social media. Finding common ground through online conversations which lead to people helping people. Ultimately these relationships define our personal brand.
I encourage you to look through these tweets and get to know those you haven’t met. I bet you’ll be happy you did.
One request: Share a comment about someone we should meet in 2012.
#ff Starting my list of kind people that I'm thankful for their F2F friendships. Follow them, meet them and you'll be richer.

A Desk is a Dangerous Place 
Don, as we’ve talked both Face to Face, online, in Fort Wayne, Indy, and places in between, I too have learned a tremendous amount from you.
As a natural introvert who pushes himself to be more outgoing, I have watched you make the steps and serve as a role model in my life too.
Thanks Scott. I appreciate the thoughts. We will keep pushing each other to make a difference. Do you think our Indy friends have a bet on the day we actually arrive in the same car?

Thanks Don, You continue to challenge and push me at the same time. You’re also generous with your time – giving broadly (deep AND wide) to the community.
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon on a daily basis.
It’s always exciting to read articles from other
writers and use something from their sites.
