Homework Setup a Twitter, Facebook or Google+ account (you choose, but has to be new or less frequent) Customize your profile in every aspect (name, photo, bio, links, background, etc.) Start following, friending, circling people who are interesting but that you do not know. Also be sure to friend/follow/etc. me where you approve. Engage in 5 “conversations” about a professional topic of your choice with an influencer (Klout score over 65) – excluding Alex. Conversation = multiple replies. Copy/paste links to these conversations, email them with 2 paragraphs describing your +/- value of the interaction
