When I think about social media etiquette I immediately think about Marjorie. I know of no other person who has compiled such a comprehensive book on social media etiquette. Not only does she provide the reader with the etiquette and protocol of social media networking; which is a daunting task when you consider platforms like Facebook, Tweeter and LinkedIn which are in a constant state of change, but also empowers you with the grace and charm to create the right professional image and to step up your game for more success in your career or business networking. Marjorie shares her knowledge of the practical use of various tools that will give any professional a handle on the management of their Social Media Networking empire. With Marjories guidance any entrepreneur or career professional can establish a world presence on line with the confidence and self assurance that they are socially correct.

This book would not have been written and made available without the motivation and support of a few people who certainly are worth mentioning and acknowledging.

My Big (virtual) Bro Jim Turner, a very influential thought leader in social media. Thank you Jim for being a GREAT big Brother although we have not met physically yet you treat me like your true sister. Thank you also for seeing this book in me and pointing it right out to me right from our early days of meeting. I cannot thank you enough for being so caring and thoughtful.

My great friend Ali Kahn of the Good Advice Group. You also found a book in me even before I could think of one. Thank you too for supporting Jim in making sure that I got this book out.

My dear Amy Wong of Net Directives. Thank you for pointing out my talent to me and encouraging me to write this particular book.

This book would also not be complete without the mention of Bret Griswold. You have shown that distance does not make any difference when it comes to authentic friendship. Your love, kindness, care and support is unbelievable. Thank you for being who you are.

To Sue Fox, my mentor and friend, for using your etiquette experience and professional eyes to analyze this book. Your loving kindness is always appreciated.

To Lynne Klippel for giving me your writer and publishers opinion on the book. I very much appreciate it.

And finally, my very good friends Charles Nsenga and Val Waldeck, for handling the fine details with such love and care and for helping me to finish this book. Thank you very much my good friends.

I cherish you all!
