I’m fine with being a Z-List blogger.

More like a zzzzz… list blogger, huh? Seriously, I’ve finally realized that I don’t need to write 300 word essays espousing my love for all things Web 2.0 with some sense of “purpose,” but just write the things I’m thinking about and just enjoy it. I don’t have adsense, but I can certainly do nonsense.
Lately things have been interesting on the Social Media front, I must say. I’m more involved than ever — continuing my love for FriendFeed, but also being more involved on commenting on a couple of blogs and a significant amount of tweeting. Combining like members of FriendFeed and Twitter, I have around 150 people following me. This makes my “real friend” to “internet friend” (there really needs to be a word for that) ratio at about 1:25. I can live with that.

Right off the bat I think “phishing.” It sure looks like phishing. So I examine the email header careful, the link carefully and do some research and it turns out to be a legit email - just a dumb format to do such a thing.
You are a brand. Be a good brand manager.

Social media has changed the way that people intertact with Internet and with each other. Many of us have “friends” we’ve never actually met who know more about you than some of your “real” friends. They know what music you like, movies you enjoy, articles you read, and possibly most of your daily habits due a little web app called Twitter. What you must keep in mind is that all these things you do form a picture of who you are… your “brand.” While you may think trolling or posting long tirades of profanity may be fun, those action will be sure to tarnish your brand.
