Auto-DMs. They're driving people on Twitter over the edge. I've had so many people ask me why would any rational human being, when after first meeting someone on Twitter, spam them with auto-responses when they would never act that way in person. And although I've tackled that question in my Unleashed blog (Spamming the Twitterverse), I'll offer a brief summary here because it's important to the gist of that blog.
Which Social Media site is the best for monetizing? How many sites are you on? I've been party to a few conversations - better term, squabbles - about this lately. I'm surprised at how adamant users become in promoting their favorite. The big contenders are Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube. Which one is best? How many do you use? Well, I've got the answer.
The answer is none of them, all of them, and some I didn't even list. What I see happening is that users gravitate to the site(s) where they feel most comfortable. And that's where they 'work it.' That's great if all you want from a site is the social community.
But if you're looking to maximize and monetize (what I call ‘Remembering Your M&Ms) your business, platform, or expertise, choosing a site based on comfortability or fun may be all wrong.
