LinkedIn “in the Black” (2006) In sharp contrast to other networks, LinkedIn was the first to offer users paid premium packages. Ahead of its acquisition by Google in the fall of 2006, the site grew to 100 million videos watched by 20 million dedicated users. and really set the tone for future tweets. My, how times have(n’t) changed!)

Don’t use a Facebook Group. Of over 1500 friends that I have, I’m constantly being pitched to join groups I have no interest in. That might not apply to Facebook fan groups but the idea is similar. Simply stated, for a business, you should create a Fan Page. and (3) the length of time since the action was done.

There were other typical social networks in this grouping as well, including Flickr, FriendFeed, Kirtsy, Mixx, Plurk, StumbleUpon, Tip’d, and Twitter. Twitter isn’t a “social network&# though, at least not how I define it – it’s a microblogging platform with a strong community. It’s not.

It’s not enough to be insular and focus on your groups of friends. At business networking events, try to get to know people outside your group of trusted colleagues. We may be slightly different versions of ourself when with each of these different groups. I created an additional account for people in that group.

When members repeatedly submit content from a single site or a small group of sites, it undermines StumbleUpon’s mission of discovering and sharing Web sites with others. So maybe some SU self-promoters consider someone subscribing to them on StumbleUpon similar to being subscribed to via RSS, email, etc. I think you’re right.

Reply Tamar Weinberg March 12, 2010 at 3:27 pm You have spotted the biggest gripe I have about Facebook Pages (versus Groups). Be sure this is something that describes yourself and your brand, and that you think others will be searching for. Keep in mind your Page name can not be changed once you create it, so get it right the first time!

Abusing group invites. And if they don’t accept, don’t send the group request more than once by asking them to join via email, wall post, or Facebook message. In a specific case, I manage a few LinkedIn groups so my email address is far more visible on the site than I’d like. Many call this spam.

When I first signed onto Twitter in 2006, I used to manually review every single incoming email notifying me of new Twitter followers just to see if there was a synergy between our accounts. Who was he, I wondered, and was he credible? So I hopped on Twitter for a sneak into his daily activities. Will you even pay attention to your home feed?

or the desire to establish a new group. The Apple Students Group is a great way for Apple to market its own products, and over the summer, it offered free songs through iTunes. If I upload a group photo, I can tag the people in the photo to identify them. Face it (no pun intended), Facebook is the ultimate stalker tool.

I was a Facebook purist in its former form and I liked having access to select group of exclusive folks knowing that these were trusted people and that only certain groups of individuals were allowed to have access. It’s a bit like group therapy. Yup, it’s true. It felt good to be exclusive.
