Oh, and Chip, you should sign up for a GRAVATAR! I wrote an article about them here: http://samhowat.com/using-gravitars-to-brand-your-online-discussions/

It’s a really important part of discussion and the more people we get to use them, the better! Besides as a business guy, on the internet, people need to see your brand.

Timing is so important, but another big factor in sharing is not pissing off the people you connect with.

Mariano, I don’t see you as doing this too often, I just noticed the other day when I logged into facebook, one particular “group” had shared the article from their fan page, then their personal page, then they got all the other people associated with it to share it to. In total my “live stream” was just SWAMPED with it. This is counter productive in my mind.

Hopefully this article gives people an alternative perspective for when they’re sharing content.

Great info Sam. I am guilty of blasting my own article everywhere at one time. Only because I’m likely to forget if I don’t! I should be better about this…maybe your article will prompt me to do so!

NP Chip, I like to see what you’re doing there in Sequim. Hope that you are able to grow in 2010.

I find that whenever I keep this rule in the front of my mind, several things happen.

1. I spend less time focused on Twitter & Facebook from a business perspective
2. People make more personal connections with me
3. The quality of my connections jumps ten-fold
