Like what? It's the post title/the blog title (and url/brand as well). What would you title this post? I won't be changing it, because it's been that same permalink for a long time, but still I'm open to suggestions and constructive conversations about article/post titles. Always a great topic.

My whole philosophy, and I didn't just pick it up out of an e-book, is this...

Social media "marketing" is an overall strategy, not a "tactic." It's the powerful leverage that has been seen since (well, let's not get too technical, but bloggers built the whole "Blogosphere around the principal of sharing and engaging around relative and connective CONTENT that is of value and that is a resource for their readers by being referenced, discussed, cross-referenced, etc. It's the same principal as forums. I got my online social and "informative and helpful" awards from a great affiliate marketing forum (completely accidental, I was newish and I had no idea there were awards!) and I have carried the first and very mind-bending response to this "give without expectation" ideal.

The very first time I said, ok, I KNOW how to help here! I have to try. I went and gave my all into some discussions that really made me feel the same way as the person who was still suffering, I gave some options that I had defiantly gone and demanded through digging deeper into the markeer's GOOGLE-inator (remember when all the top results were "padded, sort of" especially if then "newbie trap" was a deep well of how to...?

Yeah, that was exhilarating. I had become "the newbie advocate" and gotten my very 1st "evangelist fan" who subscribed to me everywhere I went from then on. He made me want to be something that gave back what I had learned the hard ways. He's still with me, I saw him in my WP subscribers. That's the powerful stuff of the real service to many over yourself philosophy that I had been blessed to have stumbled onto very early and not too late to get pumped up and "SKILLED UP."

It's more than just a thing like, "look at me, I'm a hero." It's who I am and I was lost before I figured out how to get down and get the right information in my hands. I had the "newbie trap" of the "here's a website set-up on your OWN DOMAIN (keyword research anyone? No. Bad, bad choices are made in noob-SEO) and I was stuck w/hosting that was WAY over-priced and a locked-in "hidden commission" structure because it was: All you have to do is sign up with the profitable host and you can have it ALL FREE for the 1st month. It took me forever to even break even on that, I'm STILL receiving a small, exact price of the hosting when I had it every month, check from there every month. I had to play with a hosting account (and break my website) so I could learn how to use it. THEN, I could go and see the reasonable options all around.

Still with MY 1st choice of host, but I never have to give anyone a locked-in "host with your WP set-up" bad deal. They usually end up picking my choice anyway, because I don't MAKE them in exchange for freebies. It's a win-win.

Oh, that philosophy up there? Got it "perfected and in writing and live online (one of my first blogger blog tests during the web 2.0 empire exercises and tests in the early days of pre-Twitter focus. All was such a huge red flag screaming in the social media wind, and here it's still going on now. while being a "scientific observer" and recording and tracking the beginning when My Space got "social media marketing" the 1st of the viral new "fever pitch" BEFORE it ever mutated into the more resistant strands over Facebook and worse, Twitter.

OK, Gotta go sneeze in an elevator.

It\'s different than Twitterfeed. There are many different Twitter tools out there, some have overlapping features, some are unique to the service.

As far as an all around Twitter tool for monitering one or more Twitter accounts, quick @ reply capabilities, easy follow back, easy unfollow, as well as integration with several other social media platforms now (e.g. Facebook & Linkedin, for example), Tweet Deck is the only tool I (personally) need.

There are some good Firefox add-ons for Twitter, some good web-based Twitter services (both free and paid), but there are too many features among all of them to go into here on this comment. Maybe I\'ll write a post and review the best of all the different Twitter focused tools/apps/services I\'ve tried and/or use now.

Thanks for the great question!

Um, that\'s how you do it?

Backing up and restoring a Wordpress Blog, it\'s one post, one topic, what else do you want?

Other Wordpress videos/topics are in other posts/videos...

Is there anything specific?

Maybe, I own I think 51 domain names myself. Granted, some are just .info, .org, etc. to protect my branded domains, but still, GEEZ.

I guess it might be an addiction, sure.

I'd love to chat more about this "illness" with you sometime. It would be a fun podcast conversation, what do you think?

Ric, Thanks for reminding me to add the Do Follow plugin. As I said, I just put this blog back up recently and am also catching up on my social media site connections as well, so this blog is still under construction. I agree that anyone who is using their blog as "the brains" of their social media marketing operation should indeed install the Do Follow plugin. In fact, that gives me yet another idea for a quick post.
