Comments on A Hitchhiking Introvert's Guide to the Social Media GalaxyMany of you may know that thanks in LARGE part to Natalie MacNeil, last week, I was named by Forbes as one of the top 30 women to follow on Twitter. You also may know that I'm not big into "lists", however I was humbled to be mentioned on that list with other women who are doing remarkable things.

I guess it is a matter of understanding our strengths and utilizing them in the business scenario. We don't need to be the "life of the party" or the ''center of attention" in order to get what we need from the networking or business experience. We just need to know how to use the tools we already have. I found some other good tips for the introvert your readers also might benefit from at: http://relationshipcapital.co/op/?utm_src=bl<br />

<p>I'm really glad that social media has provided an outlet for you and you've felt so well-received by the blogging community. Aren't bloggers just GREAT!?</p>
<p>The medium is doing some great work for both business and people and I'm glad I've been a part of the progress so far.</p>
<p>Keep up the great work.</p>

I don't have to talk to strange people face-to-face and it gives me time to compose my thoughts and say what I really want to say. The blogging community is so friendly and supportive, though, that I feel a kinship with these women and would love to meet many of them in person someday. </p>@LenaWest commented on 'A Hitchhiking Introvert's Guide to the Social Media Galaxy'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c011b53ef0120a733d800970b2009-12-09T02:21:52Z2009-12-09T02:21:52Z@LenaWesthttp://www.twitter.com/LenaWest@Kit: You're welcome and thanks for your kind words.

<p>You're welcome and thanks for your kind words.</p>
<p>No, it doesn't come easy, but as long as it being a social introvert doesn't become s tressor for you and you give yourself enough downtime to "recover", you'll be good to go.</p>

<p>Props to @eric_andersen for spreading the word about this post.</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong, there's nothing that replaces a face-to-face, in-person connection with people, however, social media definitely makes it less taxing for us introverts.</p>

Part of what I love about maintaining social connections (and starting new ones) through social media is that it is far less exhausting, w/o sacrificing the social intimacy, than traditional face-to-face connections. I also appreciate that I can both share my inner thoughts (e.g. by announcing a new blog post is up at hermys.blogspot.com) and read others w/o having to spend 2 hours at a party getting to that deep, personal place. </p>
<p>I am very judicious about what TweetUps I attend (I think I've been to three in the last year while my sweetheart has been to three every week for the last year), and I don't feel compelled to get into collecting followers as a way of measuring my social net worth. </p>@LenaWest commented on 'A Hitchhiking Introvert's Guide to the Social Media Galaxy'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c011b53ef01287601be21970c2009-12-02T20:37:26Z2009-12-02T20:37:26Z@LenaWesthttp://www.xynoMedia.com@Kim Yes, there are quite a few of us social introverts out there!
