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.)

If you use Twitter regularly, you’d see that it wins as a social news site that provides instantaneous news — at least of that caliber. As Chris Garrett explains in his post, if you follow numerous feed bots, you can get the news all the time. 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.

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.

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.

My #1 mistake was not creating a business blog and using THAT to connect with all the ORM, SEO, PPC, and SMM folks out there. I DO own one for ORM, but I’ve left it as a news feed. I am both bothered and intrigued by the tension of holistic vs. topical Twitter profiles. Changing focus is kind of wrong and misleading for my followers.

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.

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.
