Hey Steph,
Lemme know how your social experiment turns out.

I think it’s high time that social media’s evolved to having a ‘social media jedi council’ come up with a social marketing code of practice?

I tried to go into bits of it with my post at the MyBlogLog blog entitled “Unlocking the Social Inner Circle Code” (http://mybloglogb.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/07/guest-post-unlo.html)
Note: I hate people dropping extraneous links on my blog, so if it’s not appropriate, feel free to wipe the URL.

Do you think conversation specialists should post a list of social networking taboos on their blog pages?

When I started out, I was inadvertedly spamming the heck out of the big blogs…fortunately I know better…

What’re your thoughts?

PS: It appears he “Notify me of follow up comments via e-mail” plugin has been busted by WP 2.3.1. I didn’t get notification of your comment. Matt and the Automattic team really did a number on our poor plugins…

As an addendum to this note – I have let more “strangers” into my Facebook feed. I’m quite intrigued by what will happen to it. I suppose I can always go remove any “spammers.” At this point, I feel like if people are respectively within the Facebook community, I’m cool with being “friends.” If it gets weird – REMOVE.

Thanks for sharing Andrew!

Having observe the social landscape, it just seems that most forget the norms of social etiquette, relationship building, rapport building on social networks/media.

Just because you can blast out 200 friend invites doesn’t mean you should.

I can identify with the point you made on Affiliate Thing about going deep and focused in following up after an event, rather than go on a business card collecting frenzy.

One inch wide, one mile deep, it works for relationship building, as well as niche development…

I think that “Contacts” is a better term than “Friends” when describing seeking business synergy or general good karma. That is basically good networking practice. I think that Facebook is great in easily “pinging” people, a networking technique. For example, I wished a Facebook friend a Happy Birthday and he loved it. This maintains a contact. I know that all the recruiters and sourcers love Linkedin for its business “contact” like relationships but seem to not have figured out Facebook yet. But in my opinion, the real networking seems to going on at Facebook for its sharing of personal interests and activities makes better contacts.
