Follow him on Twitter. There are a few jokes going around the blogosphere right now regarding what it means to be a social media expert. Now that the stay-at-home-moms (and dads) are finding their way to a five-figure Twitter follow count, they’re offering all types of services and branding themselves as all-round experts.

In today’s day and age, it is incredibly easy for a person to set up his personal web space to start sharing whatever is on his mind (and you begin to wonder why Twitter’s growth is so huge and popular among celebrities ?)

Maybe it’s on Twitter. If this is your first time diving in the social media waters, it’s going to be difficult to make a splash. You’ll be creating that Twitter account for the first time, and you’ll have to grow followers. That’s not really convincing social proof. Thankfully, now I am.)

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. How you use social media depends on your frame of mind.

Facebook Pages do not allow background images like Twitter, Myspace, and other services. It should also, at the same time, be something familiar to other Facebook users, as this is what they will see in their News feeds as their friends become fans or you post updates. This applies to Pages as well.

Twitter Following a user and then unfollowing them before they have a chance to follow back. Consistently using your Twitter stream for nothing but self-promotion and ego. This is much more bothersome when the request comes via IM or email and not on Twitter itself. Twitter is also about real relationships.
