I wanted to send out a quick thank you to all the fine people who have taken the time recently to share their greetings and advice to the folks who have been in my sessions on Social Networking lately.  The Twitter ShoutOut ("Say hello to my audience, tweets!") seems to be one of the best all around hooks for helping people to see the potential of a world-wide network.  It’s weird, and kind of wonderful, and something I never would have dreamed of two years ago, but I regularly count on my network, in various forms and permutations, to just be there. 
    I’m humbled by that.  Thank you for helping to teach me and my students and colleagues.  I don’t want to take advantage.  I promise I’ll continue to return the favor.  Isn’t it amazing that we talk to the world, and the world answers back? #
