Thank you so much Emma! I am completely inspired by you and hope to finally finish editing my novel this year!

Re: Tumblr a Web 2.0 Site? I Think Not!

maruxz,

I totally agree that Tumblr seems to support adding noise content if they
get anything from it.

Like yourself, I merely wanted to add another way to reach my readers and
customers and did NOT set up a spam blog.

I'm with you...total waste of time.

I know there are a bunch of people who will swear by it and I'm not knocking
them. I just know if I'm going to spend the time to build a site I don't
want it rejected for some bullcrap policy violation.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts. I'll definitely check out
your ehow article.

First of all, Thanks a lot for that comment, real sweet of you to have spent typing a comment the size of a blog post!

And I think your idea makes sense. I might want to go private.
Maybe I'll keep the account and just reduce my updates. I was thinking of friendfeed and I think there's way too much noise out there as well.

Here's what I've planned:
1. Cut down on updates
2. Consider making my updates private (still not too sure of this)
3. Retain the account
4. I'll cut down on whom I'm following.
:)

I hadn't heard of Adwido. How do they differ from the other video sharing
sites? I see they also charge for certain services?

Alan,

It seemed like a great setup and system when I was first told about it and
it also seemed to be fairly easy to get up and running.

I wasn't using it for spam either.

You're absolutely correct...you should have some warning that you've
violated a rule before being banned.

Thanks for stopping by and letting us know about your experience.

Thanks, Megan.

How did you find our site I'm curious.

Thank you Stefan, that was it. I am trying to figure out how to get back the lost comments.

Hi Maria,

I was also very disappointed as you can tell.

What other types of sites have you used successfully?

It is a software development company, and is not related to OpenSim - yet.
In the future, I am looking in all possibilities, and OpenSim is on my radar.

despil — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:09:05 -0000

Thank you Maria, that's a good tip.
The problem is that the people I want to talk with are on the official Second Life grid, and while I know there are some early tries to link Second Life with OpenSim, as far as I know they are in the early stages.

Hi Jake,

Good to hear from you again. Hope all is well.

I haven't had much luck getting the attention of anybody big on social
media. Sure, I get the occasional response but it's rare.

I think cracking the social media code for newbies and mid-level marketers
is still a tall order for them.

Thanks for stopping by and weighing in on this.

That sounds like a great approach. Your readers always need to feel the
content is aimed at them and not a search engine.

Re: Ten things that I’m not going to do today

Yup, if I had four legs and were covered in spotted fur, that would be me lying in the middle of the road takin' it easy. As it is, that's pretty much what I've done all day, just with a laptop keeping me warm instead of the warm sunshine that's absent this "first weekend of summer" in San Francisco.

I am not quite sure when and how it happens, I just know that I got the message "your message is too long, but don't worry, blah, blah,blah" and then the ...
Will check how and when it works.

Hi Stefan,

I don't think Tumblr even knows what Tumblr avoids but it is a HUGE
list I'm sure.

I'm glad you stopped by to leave your experience but I'm really sorry
you didn't see my post before you tried Tumblr.

I know I'm not in the majority but my take on a lot of the social
media sites is they ARE great for engaging your audience if you have
the time. However, I still feel it's no coincidence that the people
who seem to have embraced them ALREADY have a large following. It
just gives them another point of contact with their established
audience.

I still do not believe that anybody builds a business using them.

Have you had any success with any of the other web 2.0 sites? I have
a sizeable StumbleUpon profile and I've met some great people but I
can't attribute one sale to it so far. I know the gurus all say
that's not the point but it would be if they were new to internet
marketing and blogging.

I hope it will take off, I securely tied it to a Boeing 747, most likely that will be able to lift it :)
