good post. i especially agree with number one. you're missing the point of social media if you're simply using it to get only your own message across. -c

This article was excellent as are all the comments. Very helpful for me. I have always used social media but now do so with a new startup in mind which is a slightly different proposition.

@Joanne–I’m with you on the binge Tweeting. Whenever I see my front page clogged up with Tweet after Tweet from the same person, you can rest assured they’ll be dropped

As someone that’s just beginning to discover the value of social media, a couple things come to mind:

1) It’s one thing to ask for help but at least acknowledge those people that have taken the time to offer advice. There’s nothing more disheartening than to post a thoughtful reply to a question to have the person that asked it disappear into the www hinterland.

2) Yes, as Joanne Burgess recommends, don’t post on Twitter 10 times in a row. More importantly don’t flood Twitter with your posts. The great benefit to Twitter is the plethora of information being provided. It’s meant to be an update on what you’re doing, not minute-to-minute brainwave reporting that overtakes your follower’s screens.

not sure why the last one didn’t display, but here it is:
5. Don’t send out the “follow me and I’ll follow you” tweet. The point is to develop a relationship with people. How can you do that if you have a million followers…unless you’re Ashton Kutcher or CNN!

Ok, here are my top No-Nos
1. Do not start a Twitter account and then block your updates…Why would anyone follow you if you can’t see what you’re tweeting about?
2. Don’t use the stock Twitter background templates. Get your own. Stock templates are soooo boring. Showcase a bit of your personality
3. Do not post 10 items in row. It’s irritating! and I’ll likely unfollow you.
4. Do not re-post the same thing 5 times a day. Get original!

Very good post here…especially the overall idea that we have to remember that we’re not only to help just OURSELVES. We should help others, that are trying to do the very same thing that we are.

And as a result of helping others…we’ll see that success that we hope for…as long as we give others the same opportunity.
