We at times do without thinking. We’re all guilty on this one.

People just want something in return, from a particular service; beyond that, they likely have no clue why they use the services they choose.

Promoting value, can’t go wrong with advice like that. What if people don’t know how? What does value look like? Depends on who you ask. You’re right on about forming alliances, I call it blogging mentors. Being useful and helping to inspire others, you can’t go wrong.

Again, you’re right… don’t spam twitter or other social sites with your own crap. Take breaks and show some love. Solid post bro.

Any service is only good if that is where your community is. You have to constantly test new services to see if you have some of your community hanging out there and also to cyber-squat your name should the service take off. But, you always have to settle into a couple services that you will fully utilize. Right now, for me, it’s Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and StumbleUpon. I play on a bunch of other sites but those are the ones I put a lot of time into.

That should be the most productive flight ever, eh?

I like the way your new site looks.

“Automating” blog posts as twitter feeds is indeed an amazing little thing that saves me at least about 15 mins which I could use to read a blog or even write an article. I did just that and it’s a breeze.

Moving on to stumbleupon. Let’s see how that works out.
