in Proper Attribution, or What’s Up With All This Via Crap? on Helping Small Business help themselves - Network Solutions
I just wrote on the same topic today. We must be on the same wavelength, although I was ranting more about people claiming full creative attribution vis a vis a lack of cross-links. Good post, Joe!

Geoff -- first, get out of my head. Second, no link? (Is our Disqus not set up to allow links?) http://www.livingstonbuzz.com/2009/01/28/hackin... Lastly, I agree with your point, and that relevant crosslinking is in your enlightened self-interest: acknowledging others' thoughts on what you're talking about simply shows that you're aware of what's going on...

Jason, I think you may be on to something. I have not really commented or blogged about the technographic ladder, in large part because while it's an interesting taxonomy, it doesn't seem to fit. I think social media participants of all types are much more fluid than this. What that means is another thing, but keep on the high road with this one!

I agree with Geoff on this one. Technographics (like demographics) lacks the flexibility to describe how people really behave. I am a creator and influencer in a couple of small domains, but much more likely to be a spectator in most other domains.
In other words my personal Technographics Profile is VERY domain specific. Good luck using that information to target me with a marketing initiative.
Another approach that we are beginning to use is to segment specific communities into different roles (maven, participant, newbie, spectator) and then do differential analysis of motivations and issues by role. Believe me that mavens have very different community participation motivations than newbies.

Thanks as always, Geoff. I agree that the ladder is a bit rigid in comparison to reality, and I think it's different for people in different circumstances -- you might be a lurker on SME, but an active participant somewhere else. You don't fit into one category at all times. But I do think it gives us at least some general buckets in which to put folks.
High road it is.

in Reputation Management Case Study: Network Solutions | Social Media Explorer on Social Media Explorer
No offense taken, Jason. I am not a big fan of complicated strategies as most people cannot execute them. I prefer liquid or water strategy, which gets you to point b b from point a as quickly and simply as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to write this fair and balanced case study.

in How To Use Links and Linking Effectively | Social Media Explorer on Social Media Explorer
Cross-linking is the way of social media. It's the capital blogs live on and if bloggers really want to be noticed they should be extremely generous in their cross-linking activity. Good post, Jason.

Thanks Geoff. You're absolutely right, of course. Glad you commented so I could go brag that Livingston still has time for my blog. Heh. Appreciate it, my man.

I call it government. It's nice that the toolset makes it easier, but it's the same animal.

I really do think the approach needs something to distinguish it from past practices: not necessarily 2.0, because the specific technologies can and will change in the future, but definitely to mark a profound shift from the days when government was remote and gave us what it decided to give us, rather than being the true partnership that developments such as the Apps for Democracy contest, in which the public were the source not only of inspiration, but actual, functional services. Hence, WeGov

Controversy for controversy's sake is never a great thing. It always leads to trouble.

It probably depends upon the purpose of your blog. If your blog is primarily intended for sharing information, then controversy may not be a good thing. (For example, a Linux tips and tricks blog probably shouldn't feature a WINDOWS SUX!!! post.) However, perhaps a political blog may be more amenable to the "controversial" post, but you still have the danger of a flame war.
Then again, even if you don't aim for the controversial post, you may end up with a flame war. Today, Mark Daniels wrote a gentle reminder that Barack Obama is not God. (And yes, it was gentle.) He was accused of parroting right wing talking points.
