I would add:

- Don't just "post" for the sake of posting.

- Don't regurgitate news that everyone has already read on the traditional media.

Social media does require lots of commitment; it’s not the responsibility and hence not a burden but still since there is so much conversation going on and if you want to be a part of it then you have to communicate, you have to offer your two cents.

@Brad thanks for the comment and I look forward to conversations on Twitter. Perhaps we can come up with better ways/tips to share to manage through it. If you figure something out please share.

@David Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. And I love that Radian6 is listening - just shows how compelling the tool is since I'm guessing that's how you found my post. I'm looking forward to leveraging the tool set for our clients - great stuff, and lots to learn.

@Kate - thank you! great idea for a future blog post on how I use these tools in more detail. I did write a couple months back about how I scrutinize connections, but there's room to expand on using the tools on a regular basis: http://adamcohen.typepad.com/adamsblog/2008/07/choose-wisely-scrutinizing-your-social-network-connections.html

Thanks again!

Adam –

Great post. I’d love to hear from you sometime about how you use LinkedIn/Facebook. I would say that I use LinkedIn more for professional purposes, but I use it passively and would like to learn how other people use it more assertively.

Hope to see you around sometime
Kate
