Social Media Star vs a Social News Voting Whore

Posted on | October 23, 2007 | 6 Comments

Is it just the tone of your voice that separates them? Where is the line that is drawn with social news voting sites?

Social News VotingEveryday I receive more and more Shouts coming from my friends on Digg. StumbleUpon has its networks of voters too. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy reading nearly everything that I am sent, so don’t stop sending me posts to read. But is the line drawn between being a social media star that gets a vast majority of your posts to the top of the social news sites and a true social news whore just the tone in which you speak?

Just my thought of the day.

    The line is marked by annoyance. Contact your “friends” only when you really need them, not daily.

    I have added a post about using ice breakers to contact your peers.

    Tad has a great point about only contacting when needed as most of us are already very busy with our own personal projects. Using the social networks you can kill your reputation very quickly by over using it too often.
