You use it your way, I’ll use it mine kinda thing. Guess I’m wrong again.<BR/><BR/>There’s this attitude with not only Twitter, but many new social m sites, that if you’re not shilling your site or business, and instead choosing to have more casual conversations, that somehow you're not to be taken as serious as those who do. <BR/><BR/>Problem is, that’s the <I>basis</I> for the huge growth on YouTube, MySpace and every other mega community though. It’s everyday people sharing normal life shit, not pushing a “Great new article on SEO best practices!” At 12:00 am—on a Saturday night.<BR/><BR/>You can keep pushing that stuff 24/7 if you want, but all it does is make you look like the guy at the party walking around handing out business cards to everyone. <BR/><BR/>Maybe sometimes, you should just chill and have a drink.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
