Back in 2008, I found twitter to be really great for this. There was some successful people on twitter like James Schramko and Robin Sharma, amongst many others that I used to follow and they were great at answering my questions. I used to 'nag' them quite a bit and was surprised by how much they were willing to respond and communicate. I did this with almost everyone I followed. At one point I even got through to a producer for the BBC and he and I even chatted on the phone. It was that phone conversation that really made me understand what community engagement is really about and how it can help your product or business. Unfortunately, I got dragged away from twitter due to work (no excuses really) and when I became active again just recently, i've found there seems to be so much more noise and people's willingness to have a conversation with a stranger is nothing like it used to be. Still - I'm glad Mr.Sivers answers his emails. He's always been a great help in helping me to improve my mindset.
