The first Plenary Session of the Social Media Conference Northwest 2010 was presented by Matthew Dunn of Sayitvisually.com and in this piece articulates the main points he made: Business owners are in the publishing business, that the quality of content you put up matters, as well as the number of relationships you have.

Dunn also clarified how you cannot count on ‘weak links’ – people in your network may or may not be the conduit to new business, but you have to allow them the opportunity.
