Rather than blindly putting a program out into the social ether, customizing messages for true communities/groups increases your odds of connecting with an audience that will be receptive and potentially act as brand advocates. Likewise, a local, personalized approach through social media can forge a stronger bond with influencers online.

It’s not enough to be insular and focus on your groups of friends. At business networking events, try to get to know people outside your group of trusted colleagues.

When members repeatedly submit content from a single site or a small group of sites, it undermines StumbleUpon’s mission of discovering and sharing Web sites with others. So maybe some SU self-promoters consider someone subscribing to them on StumbleUpon similar to being subscribed to via RSS, email, etc. I think you’re right.

Abusing group invites. And if they don’t accept, don’t send the group request more than once by asking them to join via email, wall post, or Facebook message. In a specific case, I manage a few LinkedIn groups so my email address is far more visible on the site than I’d like. Many call this spam.

Groups : Facebook Groups still exist, but I wouldn’t encourage using them unless you’re looking to maintain a fully closed and private community in the confines of the service.
