Most business is still conducted in person, and you can't persuade as skillfully online.

I like to say 30-second intro, networking introduction or something else along those lines. I also agree with you that Twitter is the place to be online. I cringe at so many Twitter bio's -- entrepreneurs who are there to network 'cause they read somewhere it's a great way to market your business... These people don't get that their bio is actually their "elevator pitch" -- the first impression they are giving about themselves and their business! All we can do is spread awareness with posts like this one. Thanks for making this post one more reminder!
