Very interesting poll so far. I would have thought Facebook, Twitter, then Linkedin. Very very interesting!

I totally agree with what you said "The reality is that a valuable community that I feel connected to is most important." We can spend a lot of time at these social sites and not be very efficient but if we evaluate where we can be most effective is where we should spend our time!

Wow very interesting test. I downloaded Google Chrome today and am liking what I see but still won't use it regularly cause I cannot live with out my Firefox addons.

Well first of all I love the latest posts that have caused quite a ruckus in the online world, I would have to agree with you on certain aspects especially "Given the two siteâ€™s relative size, though, Twitter doesnâ€™t have much to fear, other than losing a certain type of user - the vocal, visible community leader." I personally use Twitter, Plurk and FriendFeed and like all of them for different reasons.

Thanks for the post!

Great tips here that I have used before but you have put them into great perspective. I think following 500 blogs is a bit much but hey what ever floats the boat. Thanks

Great post! Personally I think Social Media is just in its infancy so therefore I believe that jobs are here to stay for a long while!

Re: Just Bought an iPhone 3G? Sucker! Gphone is on the Way!

Garrett Pierson — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 10:43:58 -0000

Personally I didn't get the iPhone and probably won't until I see what the GPhone is like and then make a decision. Can't say I will buy either for a while I am not the early adopter type.

Personally I think people will click more on the second link my guess would be 90% on both the blog post and your email and here is why: People like you and if they do decide to buy they want to give you credit, that simple.

Thanks for the post.

Re: I Promised You Some Numbers – Here They Are (And More Questions)

Garrett Pierson — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:31:57 -0000

Very interesting Paul!!! I don't think there is some magical subconscious level that people knowingly don't want you to make money but then again who know really, this could even be seasonal or circumstantial (i.e. the down economy) you can read into it many different ways. I still believe that if you provide great content and have built great relationships of trust people will always be willing to help you (or give you money)!

What you might want to look at is the number of Unique New visitors that you received during this test, and see how many were totally new visitors, this could play a role in the numbers because these people didn't know or trust you.

Just some thoughts.

Thanks for the great test Paul.

Re: What Traits Define a Social Media Marketer?

Garrett Pierson — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 11:55:43 -0000

Wonderful list Tamar and Thanks. I know from a fact that Social Media Marketing is a huge tool for not only me but my clients as well. I would like to think of myself as a Social Media Expert/Consultant and give some great value to my students through various channels, but these people above deserve to be on the list.

Re: Top 10 Uses of Twitter

Garrett Pierson — Fri, 16 May 2008 12:08:26 -0000

I definetly think that Twitter can be a great tool for sharing links with friends and networking. As with every website especially a social networking site they can be abused. So a small few ruin it for the rest of us, but this shouldn't shy anyone away from using the tool.

Re: Twitter Poll: Ultimate Time Waster, or Great Tool?

Thanks for the Poll Lee, Personally I think it can be both depending on how you are using it.
