Nice article. No, excellent article because it shares personal experience and WIIFM (you , in this case).

I "hatched" in February, learning it's okay to have identity outside my organization. I now Tweet, blog as often as I can, and changed how I use Facebook. I'm figuring out Google+ (where we share circles), and am dabbling at curation, albeit aggregation. I'm not of the "younger digital generation" but have now shown several how to get started.

I only hope I'm able to say I've been blogging eight years one day. For now, one post at a time. Cheers, and thank you for sharing and inspiring.
