Calling all my Facebook, Twitter, FF et al 'social network' friends and Blog followers! Please help me answer a simple question - "What is your perception of me?"

I was speaking to my business partner the other day and she was saying that one of the hurdles/ tasks we have ahead is that I am relatively unknown as a Founder/ CEO in California where we are going to be based or anywhere in the US for that matter and our business model is highly disruptive and challenges the way we will look at media especially, and technology in the future. This got me thinking about my 'social network' which extends to several thousand people and which includes not only people I have known all my life, but also people I only know through work, my blog and many also, who I simply admire and would very much like to know better. (Some I confess I've connected to, just because I thought they had cute profile pics too!)

Naturally we're in discussions with some of the very best PR firms about how to deal with this over the ensuing months, but what I would love to know is what my social network's perception is of me right now! Instead of paying a big agency to do market research which I assume one might have done some time ago, I figured why not just ask 'my wonderful network' the question and see what happens! To my knowledge noone has ever done this before, so it could prove an interesting social experiment! I also have great faith in my American friends' support of true entrepreneurs but want to know where exactly I stand.

So if it's okay with you, I'd really appreciate it if you would just ping me a paragraph saying what you think you know about me, why you might check up on me on FB, FF, Twitter etc. from time to time and maybe what you feel we 'socially' or business wise have in common. If you know me well and have something nice to say then great, or if you want to tell me why you hate me that's fine too. If you don't really know me, then are we competitors or potential partners, potential lovers or fighters or am I just a curiousity or 'one to watch' ??...whatever. You can post to my wall on My Blog/ Facebook or email me privately at jan [at] famebook [dot] com. I'm hoping everyone will have an opinion, even if we hardly know each other and if I do get significant responses, then not only would I repay the compliment where asked to, I will also spill the beans on much more about me and what I'm about and what we are doing at famebook!

Absolutely any reply will have value, whatever our connection and just remember it's about YOUR perception of me at this point in time! Wouldn't you love to know the truth about what I like about you... (I'm not connected to people I don't like!)

Here's hoping for an interesting response...
