by Tamar Weinberg on December 19, 2007 Share How do you leverage different social networks? I am fascinated by the amount of social networks that I’m part of, but better yet, I’m intrigued to find that I assume different “personas,&# at least in terms of choosing friends (and using the networks), on each social site.

Reply Tamar Weinberg January 28, 2010 at 10:25 pm Tim, great question but I think that there’s no perfect answer for this. This might be via power players on social networks (eg, this story is moving on Sphinn) or even national TV (Susan Boyle’s video was a recording of a popular TV show). It also depends on goals.
