Funny thing, I am ranked higher than my peers now, without effort towards competing with them. Ego & pocketbook happier!

What is the value to them to blog, twitter, linking or any other online social network? Should they even bother? I normally tell them a the very least get on the local communities Smaller Indiana, but what should they be doing beyond that?
