Erica, Love it, I'd been thinking about this one too. Who are all these people doing the endorsements that don't really know me or my work well? I have no problem endorsing those I know.
Very interesting. I will have to check it out more. I think I had signed up but not used much. Thanks for sharing with us!
Nice, I love Triberr and that's how I came across your post today. I find it the easiest to get the latest news from posts and getting my own seen and shared as well. It's a win-win system.
I did not use the Google reader often. I also subscribe to some blogs to receive via email. But with more joining Triberr I may not have to deal with many emails.
Never heard of Bootsuite, must check it out, thanks for sharing
Hi Nick, how does one get stared with Listly Lists? Something I have not delved into yet. Thanks for sharing.
@andersorsander I also check their profiles to see what their interests are. I have so many that sometimes it's hard to narrow them down.
Anders, I do check if they tweet other's stuff and not just their own. That is huge for me. Because if they only push their own stuff they will never engage with you and that's what social is all about.
Great post Frank, I once wrote a piece called "Don't put all your social eggs in one basket" . So many just hung out on Facebook and never joined another social site. I think it's good to be on at least 3 with equal time spent on each and if one goes you have at least 2 other very active places. Of course our blogs should be our #1 source because only we can take them away.
Jayme, I agree with point number 5 but not point number 7. Facebook is more about social and friends and Google+ can be more about business minded people. Twitter is not a graveyard to me. Most of my activity still comes from them and Pinterest.
I do love the communities on Google+. I just had to limit how many I am in :)
Thank goodness! I was tired of those eggheads and non-users too. I wonder how the other changes will effect followers too Twitter has coming Lisa.
What a great debate, fascinating to read through it and see how data was being used. And how data can be analyzed differently by people.
Yes, notebooks are great to have everywhere because you never know when an idea will hit you. Mine are usually in the shower so I should have one in the bathroom. I'd add pens or pencils with it too :)
That is sad Susan that we have less friends today than before. And just RT ing is not being very social either. Sometimes I find that I'll tweeting so much from Triberr that I need to start to interact with those Triberr folks as well. It all takes time to develop relationships but I've developed many via Twitter.
Interesting - I've always wondered who buys all the brand new stuff, especially the new iPads and iPhones that they wait for hours in line for. Not I. I wait until my Droid dies before getting a new one. (had to recently) If it's not broke, why fix it right? Right now I can't think of anything I really want that I don't need. I think the older you get the less you want "stuff." I would just want more TIME.
I think we should still thank people AND Re-tweet them. Give more than we receive. Give more than they expect :)
I think we all enjoy getting positive feedback and the like on Facebook does just that. It can also work the opposite way if someone posts something and gets no likes, they may wonder, what's wrong with me? (I wonder why they never came up with the dislike button, too degrading I'd imagine.) I like to share things that I believe others will be interested in. I think it makes both the sharer and the one being shared feel good that it is share-worthy. Very interesting post.
Good points here for retail websites which are sometimes harder to make for SEO. Love the long-tail keywords too.
Oh yes, bloggy friends like you Susan help to energize me through the blogging ups and downs. I too haven't been to Empire Avenue in months. I'm looking to ditch some places I visit for 2013 to spend more time creating an eBook and newsletter. This piece has me inspired. Thanks!
I have found #1 to be very helpful Susan and with Google Webmaster tools too. It shows when you gain or lose ground. Love that new feature. I haven't done well with the surveys yet but blogging is another great way and it just takes time.
You bring some interesting tidbits to think about here. I really need to clear out of some groups and just focus on a few. #7 is a wonderful reminder too. Thanks for sharing these valuable tips on LinkedIn!
