It’s great to be recommended, but when that person actually NEEDS you (maybe six month or more down the line), they’ll have to find your phone number etc from somewhere, so before the Internet (an online directory), what did people do? Look in a directory! If only I’d twigged that at the time, I might have had a great career as a Saleswoman!

Twitter (unlike Facebook – in my experience), somehow links us by osmosis to other like-minded people, and it’s been invaluable to me so far. I reckon that if I needed a pool cleaner (I should be so lucky!), I’d pretty soon find one via my followers! (janereynolds8 Twitter)
