I’m so embarrassed I missed the tag. But you picked the right page to link to because I’m taking my big life in a new direction. Sadly, TMT closed, making room for my next big adventure: PositivelyWed.com

I’m combining my legacy knowledge of conflict management with my near mania about weddings. It’s almost too much fun. I help wedding pros to be happier at work. And, I’m sending them your way to learn about creating ethical, fascinating copy.

Love your new look!

Other than being true to who you are and avoiding the echochamber (which you’ve covered here), my biggest thing with social media is knowing when to say “no.”

Being actively involved in social media doesn’t mean you need to be using every tool out there. You don’t need to be on myspace, facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Digg, an active stumbler, Sphinn, etc. You need to target, know which tools are going to reach the people you need to be connecting with, and devote time into using them effectively rather than spreading yourself too thin (speaking from the business perspective – fiddle with things for personal fun all ya want).

Excellent advice! In the early days of online life (back when you and I were mere youth) being online was often about getting to be someone else. Role playing games, virtual realities, avatars with different names. It was about escapism. You were never going to meet the other people, so it didn’t matter.

Today, it’s completely flipped around. As you and I know…we do meet each other. We do work together. We do collaborate. Hell, we tell each other what we had for breakfast in Facebook and Twitter updates. So we’d better be ourselves.

Very timely counsel. Thanks for jumping in!
