Nice point. As you said, there are many people abusing of those services… Social medias is for sharing information. Instead reading google news or something, I prefer to look up Mixx or Digg to see what’s new…

@ JBWriter: Not sure what you consider a youngster, but I have been blogging nearly four years now. Not on this blog though. Would be nice if I did.

I’ve been to your blog and you have some good stuff on there for writers like me. Keep up the great work. I will be back for sure.

Like you I’m youngster at Blogging but I’m an oldster otherwise and I find blogging a refreshing way to increase my talent as writer as well as hoping to increase my personal growth financially.

Joanna: likewise, I’m glad I met you too.

Betshopboy: that is great to hear. Now you need to build on this by becoming a good SU user and you could experience this again in the future.

Ellesse: thank you, I felt it needed addressing and I’m actually very happy that it is of use to some.

Fred: yes, you are dead right. It’s kind of ironic but true.
BTW, thanks for the blog post too.

Suzie: SU is really great. I do love this platform too and am still learning every day. It is fun to network with others and help them get noticed. Hopefully you can recreate your earlier success sometime.

Wayne: you said that very well. Trust comes from credibility and credibility comes from being an honest carer and helper.

That’s how I see this anyway.

As a ‘blogger, I’m very much aware of the traffic potential of social media, but I steer well clear of the self-promotional “push” aspect — whereby some submit their own stuff.

As much as social media is conversational, it’s also about exchanging trust as a currency.

As is the case with life in all quarters, irony abounds, and I can’t pass trust about my own stuff. That trust must come from elsewhere…

Wise words… and something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I more or less ignored social media until I got hit by a traffic wave, and immediately wanted to recreate the effect. Needless to say, I didn’t. But I have discovered the amazingness that is SU, and enjoying it for its own sake!
