If a forum exists for your industry, you should very well be active: you should participate and follow the discussion closely to know exactly what is being said and what kind of feedback you can take back to your executive and development team to enhance your product and to make it better than your competition. It’s a brave (???)

At the end of the day, we know most people are active on social networks because they have some reason for being there (be it to make a sale or to establish authority, for example), but through your regular interactions, you need to recognize that these are byproducts of your genuine and authentic involvement.

Many people found the research interesting, but a number of people commented that the social networks probably shouldn’t be grouped together. So the question arose – was social media traffic misrepresented by grouping traffic from all networks together? Professional content probably isn’t a priority.

Anyone can visit online meeting places like Digg and Reddit and promote the voices and opinions of others, and anyone can mobilize a group of people around a common cause on Facebook or elsewhere. Not just being talked about but be an active voice in the community. The time has come for companies to be part of the conversation.

Don’t use a Facebook Group. Better yet, to show that the page is active, give the users control by letting their Fan posts show up on the front page. As a result, engagement goes up as the page appears very active. The page should appear active but it should also appear like you’re not neglecting your community.

The more active you are on StumbleUpon, the more opportunity there is for you to grow your network and expose your own content to more and more StumbleUpon users. 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.

Blogging is an online activity, and one you may think should stay there, but the bottom line is the most successful bloggers are known outside their blogs.

We may never know why someone who (by her own claims on Google Groups) was pulling in $5,000/month via counseling fees, affiliate marketing programs, and essays posted to paying websites such as Squidoo, would risk it all in a scheme that only raised a few hundred dollars. There is a fine line in all of this.

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. Normally, Groups exist to let people congregate around a common interest. And if it does still exist, a Facebook Page may make sense.)
