This is a story of reconnection via Facebook with high school friends that resulted in us all doing business together.

Last year I sent out Facebook Friends requests to a mass mailing of people that I graduated from high school with.  Don Campbell accepted my request, and I began to see posts “lunch at the GooglePlex”, “at SEO Word Camp”, all stuff that was related to my business!  I immediately transitioned from friend into fan/customer/follower of  the theme’s Don’s company, Expand2Web has built for WordPress.

Another classmate who accepted my invitation was Ed Robinson who is living in MI and owns BridgeWater Fertilization Company.  Ed recently asked me to create a website for him, www.BridgeWaterLawn.com.

I of course wanted to show you you my newest designed website, but also share the power of networking and social media.  I started using Facebook as a fun way of reaching out to former classmates.  Through this, three friends, one on the east coast, one smack in the middle of the country, and one out in Silicon Valley have all reconnected and via the web done business together.  I think that is so cool, and I am sure our former technology teacher would be proud of us.

Now, if you live in Michigan, give Ed a call (734.216.085) and get a gorgeous lawn!
