Great article. I really like the restaurant analogies - easy for anyone to relate with. I also dig the references to Billings, MT. I work about 1/2 mile from that Famous Dave's!

I recently created a Facebook Page for my websites, too. I found it really interesting that the people to become "fans" of my Facebook Page are not friends of mine from Facebook.

I learned I have "real world" friends and also my "virtual" friends and associates, but there is very little overlap. Weird!
