		<description>Hey Danny (and everyone)
You all made such great points.

The things we write have the potential to inspire new thoughts. What more could we want than that?

Thanks everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes. I'm feeling pretty lucky to have all of you here. :)</description>

		<description>Hey there Liz,

I'm definitely with you on this one. I think blog posts that leave more questions than answers can offer two fantastic results:

1. You get a great discussion opening up in the comments that can then take the original post to a whole new level.

2. Your readers can (hopefully) go away asking themselves the questions you've asked, and then come up with some truly great stuff in their own blogs or conversations.

Thanks for keeping everything alive, and hope you had a wonderful birthday!

Danny.</description>

		<description>Hey Liz,

I'm not sure if anyone can begin forever, you are only a beginner once.

But you can keep your childlike wonderment of a space that is a child itself. We often have to remind ourselves that less than 10% (and that's a high estimate) of the world's population has even stepped into the social media space with a profile. 

The space may be in its infancy, but networking socially has been a human journey since the 'Year One'.

Stay curious and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

		<description>Well first of all, I say Happy Birthday Liz! :-)

And to beginners I often say you don't have to be perfect, all-wise or all-knowing. I tried all three and it didn't work out. :-) But it didn't matter...

Better to know (or show) part of the picture, put it out there and ask what others think.</description>

		<description>Happy BD, Liz!

For beginners, after following @Alex Beattie's advice (above), then:

1. Listen. Find out what your customers, prospects are having difficulty doing/solving at this moment. 

2. Start small. Ask 12 customers what web sites they use to find help. You may find they do not (exactly) use social media sites.

3. Decide how much time/resource you have to devote to your social media presence/marketing.

4. Build your content based on your customers' issues.

5. Share your expertise and content on the sites your customers frequent.

6. Listen again.  Join the 'global conversation' and never stop.

Wishing all social media-ers great conversations!
