I can't decide if I should just continue with this one but do a complete overhaul, or if I should just start a new one. This one helped me learn about what blogging was like, by participating, not just reading other blogs ... I think the next blog will be about sharing what I'm learning -- helping/forcing me to organize my thoughts and also giving me the opportunity to ask other's for their two-cents. WHEN will this time come? I hope soon. *ahem* There is no link to YOUR blog here!! I know, it’s been so long!

]]> Comment on Nine Tips for Social Media Newbies by markmasterson http://rsjg.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/nine-tips-for-social-media-noobies/#comment-12 markmasterson Tue, 08 Jul 2008 08:05:14 +0000 http://rsjg.wordpress.com/?p=39#comment-12 This is a good start, but I get the impression that you're underestimating the power / impact of feeds. Almost everything you list here has a feed (which noobs often think means "RSS", but the feed term is, technically speaking, broader). Thus, those del.icio.us links you like (yours, other people's, your network, other people's networks, and so on) all have feeds that you can "subscribe" to. The same goes for all those micro-blogs. Thus, it's possible to "mash up" those feeds into something more useful. You can use a tool like Yahoo Pipes, for example, to create a narrowly targeted feed from a variety of sources -- e.g. "give me everything PR-related from here, here, and here". It's also possible to use these feeds to pull everything into one place -- e.g. Google Reader. That gives you a one-stop dashboard for all your info sources. Clever usage of the feed-based aspects of these tools is key to being able to "surf" massive amounts of data ala Scoble. Somebody recently asked me "how do you find the time to find this kind of stuff in the benthic miasma of the Web?" (which is such a great line, I'm probably going to blog it), and I answered, truthfully, "I don't. It comes to me".
