Thank You for such a great article for the computer illiterate like myself. Time for me is critical, and I do not waste time on the internet. But now I will buy a book that can steer me in the correct method of use the net. God Bless your work!

This was a really interesting post, I enjoyed it and agreed with most of it.
I’m not quite sure though who’s the target audience for this post. Businesses? Everyday people?
Either way, it’s really interesting. I encounter a lot of these misconceptions in my work and it’s great reading what other people encounter.

Myth 1: Share interesting content, insights, or just general information of any kind. You know who your friends/connections/followers are, so think about them and their interests when sharing your thoughts.

But if you have hundreds how would you tailor your tweets to the audience. It would be wide so therefore some tweeting would have to be boring or ‘unnecessary’ to others on your limb.

No, have not and plan never to have a facebook account. I figure it will go the way of MySpace which someone told me three years ago you just had to have to be anyone. Having said that, now tweeting just to be able to tweet how dumb it is might be intriguing.

Have a good day.

I liked this, especially the point that “common sense” is the prevailing theme of good social media and of good SEO.

Nice article. I was looking for this since the other day when you tweeted the request for myths and misconceptions.

I really like #4. I hate people/companies that only operate on twitter in a monologue fashion. Engage, interact, respond, retweet.

Very well done. I guess you could consider me the ’social media’ guru here, since everyone comes to me with their questions. I always answer them with simple, common sense things, that I guess aren’t so common to most people. Great article.
