My Top 10 Strategies on Social Networking

by Ari Herzog on January 5, 2009 · 2 comments

Moments after installing the Popularity Contest plugin for Wordpress (original code by Alex King, amended by Rick Beckman), I hunted.

The plugin shows the most popular posts according to comments, pageviews, categories, and other blog metrics. I was curious about my social networking category.

The ranking is in order from most popular to least popular, as of the time this post was published.

Here you go, folks. My top 10 strategies on social networking:

  1. Beware Facebook Wall Messages About SinkStumble.com
  2. 8 Free eBooks on Twitter
  3. How @Replies Work on Twitter (and Why It’s Stupid)
  4. Why I Decided to Follow My First 25 on Twitter
  5. Smiling on LinkedIn
  6. Why My Face is On My Business Card
  7. Why I Don’t Want to Be Added to Your LinkedIn Network (and What I Do Want)
  8. Twitemperature Checks Twitter Relevancy
  9. Key Quotes on New Marketing and Social Media
  10. How Employers are Hiring Online

I have my own thoughts on the above, but I see why they are there in the order listed.

For every click, comment, or inbound link you choose to make on any blog, popularity fluctuates. It gives a whole new meaning to the next blog post you read, eh?

I want to see a top 10 reasons to not eat the turkey I still have in the fridge from Thanksgiving.

:)
(trying the blockquote cite…. here goes!)

I love Crane’s quote

“You don’t connect to everybody you possibly can,” Crane says. “The relationships that you form in the first-degree connections that you create are based on respect, based on a track record with someone, based on trust, or based on a working relationship….a true reflection of themselves and a true reflection of their personal brand.”

So many people use Linkedin the wrong way.

Good list.
