We need to find the positives in social media even though it's becoming another spamming tool for marketers. There are some great interactions developed from social networking and we simply need to encourage valuable contribution to foster this medium.

Eric,

This is a brilliant post!

Your advice is bang on. I agree that in order to be successful in the social media arena you want to pick and choose a few that you will participate in so you bring value and it's NOT only about you!

Eric,

Excellent advice. I would also add - if you have a special hobby, you may wish to set up separate ids in your social media sites. For instance, I am really into martial arts as one of my recreational hobbies so I have a network of peers who are enthusiasts as well, however, I don't necessarily want to mix my peer's blog comments, etc. between my business (or for that matter) personal network since content that relates to business/professional will interest the professionals, while my martial arts blogs and stuff will only interest my martial arts peers. Keep them separate or you will wish you did.
