Digital Media Marketing
Introduction

I'm a digital adventurer. What this means is that I'm constantly trying to keep pace with the changes in the Google ecosystem, within which G+ plays a big role. My use of G+ largely entails listening to the many people out there who know and have more experience with Google than I do. 


About Sanjiv:
Tagline
How do birds learn to fly ? ... they fall and in falling they discover wings !

Introduction
Rumi's poem {paraphrased} above says it all for me ...

Back in Nov’12, when I first updated this profile, I wrote that “I am very inspired by Google+ … I believe it's a sea change for interaction on the web ... none of us can really predict how it will help re-shape our lives - but it most certainly will ... so welcome and enjoy the ride !” ...

 G+ also helps dissolve boundaries, e.g., cultural, professional,  language … and even blurs the personal and professional boundaries.
