Cody – Mostly it helps you maintain control of your own linking structure and although you don’t get SEO credit for it, you are still making it easier for people to remember who you are and how to find you.

I have yet to attend a TweetUp. I actually did once, but was too shy to say anything to anyone so I hid in the corner! I have social phobia and the venue was pretty packed at the time. I guess I will have to start small.

What is the importance of setting a page for each social media site that I am on (e.g., myblog.com/facebook)?

Nicely written! Social networking will soon become the most effective way of building your professional career and creating a personal brand. However, one will have to invest time in learning the effectiveness of these sites and ways to use them properly. By the way, I am new to LinkedIn too and have found this resource quite useful. It is a new book called "How to REALLY use LinkedIn" by networking expert Jan Vermeiren. Check it out, you can find a free lite version at http://www.how-to-really-use-linkedin.com/

This article makes a strong case for using the full spectrum of social media in perhaps a more dynamic way than most people have been doing. That is really why I love Twitter because it led me back to blogging and video unlike and social media too ever created. It made people rethink information and networking. So keeping this power safe is deffinitely a great idea.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You shared some good things to consider as we all try maximize our use of these different social media outlets.

By the way, tweetdeck.com is on the blitz this evening. I thought it would be a good tool to use but it won’t get implemented if I cannot access the website. Do you know the difference between tweetdeck.com and what Adobe is offering because it appears to be the same thing, but why are they offering it too?

Cross-referencing your network of friends and followers is a great idea. It also makes the brand of what you’re promoting (yourself, a blog, a book, etc) that much stronger when stretched across different social networking platforms. Being able to contact people multiple ways makes you more accessible to those that support what your brand and what you’re doing.

My blog is all about promoting blogs using twitter, and one of the biggest things I write about on a regular basis is the need to get your twitter followers to interact with you through other mediums. I tend to focus more on making sure your followers become readers of your blog and subscribers to your email list, but getting in contact with them on other social networks is also a great way to go!

I love your idea of spreading your ability to interact or keep updated with the ppl you network with. It’s as if spreading your ability to serve or learn through others in multiple ways. That twitter hiccup also gave me a wake up call, with me ending up promoting myself via facebook and was alarmed at how I had fewer social networking buddies there than I had on twitter.
Oh well, thank you for the update or like fb says “Musawenkosi likes this!”
