But with all other social networks, there are rules of engagement that are determined by the community. Brief Overview of StumbleUpon Since everyone is mostly raving about Twitter and Facebook as of late, I’m going to briefly define StumbleUpon and explain how it works. Great, now we have that out of the way.

Nearly four months later, the social features appear to be here to stay. As Digg becomes more of a social network and less of a social news network (or a hybrid that incorporates both elements), it has a lot of obstacles it needs to face. Tamar is also the author of The New Community Rules (July 2009).

Effectively, they’re porting their press release information to the wide open, and perhaps going a little more granular by featuring content specific to elements of iTunes.

Social media experts realise that you can’t control what people say about you online, but you can continue to focus on putting out your best work possible, whatever your medium can be. Social media is about building relationships and so many “experts&# are not great communicators. I take it everywhere I go!

They are also the most likely to pass the word along to their circle of friends, family, and acquaintances (a prerequisite to “going viral” within social channels). However, if your website and email messages don’t call attention to these features you’ve lost out on the opportunity to reach these folks and make these things happen.

Every time I tell someone I’m a Community Manager , I get a varied response. &# That last one might be the most honest of the three, since asking a Community Manager whether they tweet for a living is like asking a construction worker if they cat-call for a living, or a doctor if he asks people to say “ah!&# for a living.

After using both Plurk and Twitter pretty heavily, I’ve come to the conclusion that Plurk is best at its features for community-building, whereas Twitter succeeds more with its interface that bolsters information-sharing. Both of these features continue to support my argument that Twitter is not Plurk, nor is Plurk a new Twitter.

The scope of marketing needs to be broadened in view of the new dynamics that have employees, customers and prospects engaged in conversations – horizontally, peer to peer, in some cases even in co-opetition situations. That said, such a broad determination means you can be a social media marketer and not know it.

Since the Digg submission of my story was already buried , I sincerely hope that Digg listens to what their community members have to say. By trying to make Digg more social, it really became less social. i like digg because its different and i hope that difference doesnt erode with these new features.
