Social Media Marketing Best Practice – Article Round-Up
A couple of weeks ago I participated in Mitch Joel’s Social Media Marketing Best Practice Meme and wrote about reflect. I thought it was time to gather all of the entries that I have found so far and share them will all of you. If I was more motivated I would work them all into an awesome essay, but I just don’t have it in me right now. Please, if you know of any that I have missed, let me know and I will add them to the list.
The articles are in no particular order other than how I located them in my online bookmarks.

Thanks for the mention! This really has been interesting to see what people consider key aspects, and you’ve got a great collection here.

You missed Erhan Erdogan’s four points, which can be found here:

I second his recommendation of FriendFeed, there’s a great bunch of people there.

Thanks, Kim, for reiterating the love… all the more ironic when I recall you telling me in no uncertain terms, “But, Ari, why did you tag ME? What do *I* know about social media marketing?”
Ha ha.
Ari Herzog’s last blog post – 5 Ways Social Media is Like Speechwriting

@Rebecca – You’re welcome. Thanks for visiting and commenting. I was really happy to find another female participant.
@Andy – I’ll add Erhan’s 4 points, I guess. It isn’t exactly a blog posting. And are you referring to Friendfeed in general or the social media room?
October 8, 2008 at 4:04 pm
@Ari – Oh fine – tell the world about that one. I could say the same to you about twitter ;-) I talked to a friend about participating and she convinced me that it did fall within my subject area.
You could also look at my compilation as a lazy posting day ;-)
October 8, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I meant FriendFeed in general, there’s a lot of users and rooms nowadays so it’s easy to find a niche for your blog and get good, targeted traffic.
Erhan’s contribution showed an interesting aspect of social media use – there’s no longer one homepage per person. Our internet presences are spread over many sites so people no longer feel the need for a site of their own, I guess.

Thanks Kim. I would also add “Broadcast”:

@Andy – Thanks for the clarification. And for the friendfeed tips earlier.
@Max – Thanks! That has been added.
@Jacob – You’re welcome! And don’t get me started with soccer. I’ll talk about that over social media any day. Though I am a total soccer newbie.

This is going to be a fun and interesting read. Thanks for the links.

@Avani – Hi! I hope you enjoy the articles. I made some new friends participating in this project – hopefully you will too.
And if you are at all interested in the topic feel free to submit your own – we need more female participants :-)

Hi Ryan,
Thanks! I will add those to the list.

Hmm… I am yet to focus on Social media though I have created my profiles at many places. I need to think of a strategy to take the dailu readership from 150-200 to 1500-2000… I am sure social media plays a big role there…
Will read some of these resources for sure…

Ajith,
I’m not really sure how I got involved with social media either. Ari tagged me to write the article. I do use twitter quite a bit but otherwise I’m certainly not into marketing.
It seems, however, to be a hot topic that draws quite a few visitors.
