The social web is democratizing entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is on the rise, and social networks are helping entrepreneurs do everything needed to get their businesses going, from ideating, finding a co-founder, and hiring, to finding investors, managing stakeholders, getting press, and getting much-needed advice. During April 2013, I spoke with a group of NYU Stern students about the growing social networks for entrepreneurs. Thank you, Professor Arun Sundararajan for inviting me to speak with your "Networks, Crowds and Markets" class!

- 31. There’s Always Twitter “It’s amazing to me that I get a MUCH higher response rate when pitching reporters viaTwitter than email. I would actually go as far as to say that every time I’ve pitched a reporter via Twitter, I have gotten some sort of response (often resulting in a story for my client).Via email, I have maybe a 50% response rate.The phone call response rate would be my lowest.” - Nicole Denton, PR, Pyxl
