Today is the Day! Welcome to my new blog!

I love social media. I love blogs. I read them all the time. I advocate to clients to write blogs of their own as part of their social media marketing plan. Why, because it is a great way to share, connect and build relationships. And yes, my business is building strategic relationships, so it is natural that I would have an affinity towards blogs. Today I am stepping out of the safe position of reader to join the ranks of those who are bloggers. I feel the time has come for me to share my thoughts, ideas and talents with others. To give back some of what has been given to me through all the blogs I read. It is exciting, a little scary and really cool to finally be here. Given the nature of my business, this blog is dedicated to exploring the nuances of building relationships both in the “real” world and the online world. This is a place for discussion, debate and some practical advice for people on relationship building, community development and making an impact. I hope you will bookmark this blog, email it to a friend/colleague or add the RSS feed to your reader and stay connected. I would love your feedback, including any topics you would like to see me cover in the future. And certainly if you would like to be a guest blogger please drop me a note. I am looking forward to getting to know you and hope you will visit again. My best, Nicole aka @SocialNicole
