Social networking is a sprint that doesn't end
Steve Buttry of API is making a serious effort at getting more wired.
He write about exploring social networks here.
<blockquote>
The thing I can say most certainly after a few months of serious social networking is that I know enough about it to know that I really don't
know much. The cliché of political campaigns (especially for the early
