In the post, I shared my don’ts of social networks, and to that point, I added the following rule for LinkedIn: Gathering all the email addresses of users you are connected to — even locating email addresses of LinkedIn Group managers — and utilizing this mailing list to promote your own company or service off-site.

Use headings, subheadings, bullets and lists to break up the monotony, and make your text easier to scan through. And it is such a reward to see when your blog post helping people to make breakthrough or to learn a new idea. Those comments on your blog are great way to hear the feedback and to improve your blog constantly.

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.

In the past few weeks, however, even Digg’s other top users are seeing that Digg is becoming more difficult of a social news site to enjoy, and after stepping away from Digg for awhile, I have some thoughts and reflections on how it was and possibly how it should be. In fact, most of them had already left.

This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall. As a side point, Google is a bigger beast and it has tens or hundreds of staff members visiting forums and moderating groups to ensure that the user experience is a good one. Time will only tell.
