Just like it’s not uncommon for someone to click the “Digg&# button on Digg without ever visiting the site. It’s certainly not unthinkable that someone will import your RSS feed into another website without ever gaining any permission to do so. I think the big issue here is more about sites with snippets of text. Again, I kid.)

Digg is social news; Diigo is social bookmarking (which is lumped in with delicious). I honestly couldn’t say much about delicious in this type of blog post either — it just didn’t fit for the type of picture I was trying to paint. The issue, of course, is engagement. It’s like any other news medium.

Because competition is not as pathological as you think. How you use social media depends on your frame of mind. If you are just in it to boost your ego, you’ll look for ways to feed that even if there isn’t a user-ranking list. The kind of digg user you portray in your article is not the norm.

Linkedin lead generation requires commitment to answering and asking questions on Groups/Answers, taking advantage of the deep searches, and connecting directly with those around you in your network. Effective use means more business. Engagement. It’s not enough to broadcast. “Look at this! Nope, that’s the wrong approach.

The more you engage your community, which could be as simple as asking your followers how they are going to be spending Mother’s Day or sharing a link of interest to your followers, the more visible your page is to your Fan’s friends. After all, every interaction shows up on the Fan’s news feed. Share your thoughts in the comments.

There’s a trend that these social networks or social services have moved from monolithic sites to a collection of social services. Some are ones we’ve developed, such as the News Feed, Profiles and Inbox, but a lot of services are things that we’re not developing. We’re learning as a company. It’s a trust based system.

So maybe some SU self-promoters consider someone subscribing to them on StumbleUpon similar to being subscribed to via RSS, email, etc. – they believe the subscriber subscribes because they do want updates from that person’s site, just like a RSS feed would deliver only updates from their site. I think you’re right.

I agree that building a brand name is really important, but “fake&# followers who don’t even engage (or even sign on or follow their home feed, for that matter) are not going to help boost your brand. It’s an inflation of numbers, nothing more.

Be sure this is something that describes yourself and your brand, and that you think others will be searching for. It should also, at the same time, be something familiar to other Facebook users, as this is what they will see in their News feeds as their friends become fans or you post updates.

My specific highlight here was that most of it was automated during this time, and more specifically, the items that were *NOT* automated were mentions of “happy birthday&# and then some. It did look like a lot of the content was automated, and you’re entitled. Regarding the spam issue, yes, I totally understand.

Who was he, I wondered, and was he credible? So I hopped on Twitter for a sneak into his daily activities. Despite the fact that he had over 50,000 Twitter followers, his entire feed was a broadcast. There was no engagement and his ratio of followers to following was close to one-to-one. Will you even pay attention to your home feed?

To better level the playing field and turn control of the content back over to the community and not the elite inner circle is a good thing. Just because I don’t sit on RSS feeds and submit news content all day and only play on Digg when I can doesn’t mean I don’t care more for the community. Be honest, Digg royalty.

Facebook needs to improve upon itself instead of innovating with uselessness. Maybe it’s time to be attentive to these concerns and not shut them out. After all, this time, they’re not complaining about news feeds. Facebook, when you open to everyone, you need to have ears and listen to everyone. Hear me out. Click hide.
