Just Watch What Happens
We know that Web 2.0 added an interactive side to the world wide web, this addiction we call the internet. It used to be that a website was all you needed in order to sell you message and advertise your business. And if you were smart about it, if you hired the right people, SEO would work for you and your biz. Then along came 2.0 and the "social" aspect of media.
Website --> blogging --> online profiles --> social networks --> microblogging
There are conversations taking place, there are relationships being established. The cold call wall is being torn down. With the onslaught of the numerous ways we are able to connect with clients, potential clients, candidates, and potential candidates, there is hardly a need to make a true cold call ever again. If planned carefully, calls will be warm and made on the heels of the most recent surge of information distributed by you and your company.
Filtration and isolation of your targeted audience changes the game a bit. No longer reduced to several hundred cold calls a week, the ability to get intentional in approach is accessible to those that take advantage of the technology at their finger tips. Branding, removing walls, and attracting quality talent to a particular position or company is possible with less time and money wasted on perusal through purchased lists and painstakingly compiled CRMs.

You are absolutely right. Social media is a game changer. I am using social media to look for people with experience in HR and Recruiting to try out my companies new online recruiting tool, which is in beta. Since we are not charging the users at this stage, this has been a great method to find qualified people. Using people with experience to try the tool out has given us incredibly valuable feedback. All of this done through the various social media sites.
I have also met some great people during this process and had some good discussions about favorite books. I love books and though it doesn't have anything to do with my project, it has made it all more enjoyable for me. Social media allows for a better relationship, much friendlier relationship.
Just my 2 cents worth.
