I think it's extremely important to stay connected with other scenes, it's healthy, it is professionally smart, and it lets you make better cocktail party conversation. Great post, Colleen.

I <a href="http://hummingbird604.com/2008/05/23/the-inter-mediators-subject-matter-experts-with-a-dash-of-web-20/" rel="nofollow">wrote about a very similar topic a few weeks back</a>. There is an increasing need for people who are in one field (MSM) to be able to talk the language of the "other" field (SM - social media). In my case, my PhD training is in environmental studies (sustainability), yet I am learning to speak the SM language in order to be able to harness these tools to expand my voice to a broader audience. The way in which we try to bring our message back to what I call "the civilian" world is precisely by socializing, but in the other networks. That is, I can assure you that a lot of us who are frequent Twitterers (myself included) socialize with civilians in other fields, not only tech. We help educate civilians by virtue of reaching to our non-techie folks. But, in order to gain a better understanding of how these social media networks work, we need to immerse ourselves in them. That's why we are here. I am not a tech person, am an environmental expert. But right now, I can speak Web 2.0 with the techies because I have immersed myself head-on. The trick is not to forget to reach out to the other networks (e.g. the civilians in their different fields). Nancy Zimmerman (aka moneycoach), for example, brings her Web 2.0 expertise to the field of socially-responsible banking. Al Pasternak (bokashiman) does the same to highlight issues of recycling, composting and organic consumption. Beth Snow has highlighted the importance of 'knowledge translation' (see her comment on my blog entry, quoted above). We all are trying to do our part in creating the linkages. As long as we don't forget not to stay within the tech, social media realm ALL the time. This comment should really be an entry on my blog, but I think it's better to keep it here.
