You may want to start by searching only blogs, or only Twitter or videos for example. Take the list and search their names, their blog title, URLs to find out how many mentions there are online. If the inbound links to their blog or profile aren’t relevant, their influence on that topic may not be so hot.

Here’s an example of how I use it for blogging. I just tell SIRI to email Evernote with my special upload address, I make the subject line “blog post” and then dictate the idea, or sometimes even most of the post. I can finish what I’m doing and come back to my Evernote file full of blog posts, ready to finish.

Let’s look at Linkedin groups for example. Now let’s look at blogging. Wouldn’t it be lonely if they came from both sides to discuss it on your blog? You hang out around the edge of crowds of people and listen before you join in and are loathe to be the one who points out the emperor has no clothes.

You don’t have to blog. OK, so I know not everyone wants to blog about their life. What about pod casting, video blogging or becoming the curator of all things in your particular niche on Twitter? You’re smart enough to know your space and what is and is not acceptable to talk about. Share them and share links.

Drop a link to your blog, twitter stream or any RSS feed into Wordle and see how the word cloud produced relates to your brand. In fact a quick survey of your friends will likely find that 8 out of 10 look up profile pics before meeting a new business connection for the first time. This can be a very sobering experience for some.

FYI profile images link to Twitter and names link to blogs or websites. While it’s important to be on the major social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, it really hit home for me in the past year that it’s important to cast a wider net since your target audience may be hanging out on other sites as well.
