Yes, I know it takes time and there has certainly been progress. When I see the possibilities of this medium, I am hopeful of the difference it can make. Thanks Jessica.

Understanding and learning about social media takes time and working with our peers in the field can be very challenging, but I can see the increase in understanding and acceptance in the last 12 months alone. You are helping to drive that. Social media is not everyone's cup of tea, and for me that's okay. As long as you continue to drive conversations and allow for a forum or place for people to task questions, then you are doing the right things. JMM Brad,

I remember when I found social media platforms and began interacting I wanted SO badly for all my HR colleagues to jump in with me. I saw the power it could have and wanted them to share in the information and networking. Sadly, that never happened. So, when I started a new job, I made it known that I use the tools, then I sat back and waited. Gradually, I found small opportunities to bring it up, work it in, share it with the new colleagues. They started asking for me to speak at all-HR meetings about things like Google Reader and slideshare. So I did. Each time, I throw out another nugget to entice them to be interested. It's taken a bit of time but now, I'm thrilled when my colleagues tweet at me or forward me a link to someone's blog post. You'll get your HR colleagues and friends there with you. Just keep evangelizing (not pushing) and in the meantime, make the HRevolution relationships stronger. I've found that group of people to be sincere in their interest to involve more and more HR pros in ways to collaborate online. :) Brad, like with anything else, it’s all about the individual and the pace he/she is comfortable with.
