Byron New Media- Social Bookmarking via Delicious

Social Bookmarking is a powerful way to rapidly share content with your tribe or target audience. When combined with a smart aggregation service like Friendfeed you can share valuable content to a number of touchpoints (Social Media Outposts) with one or two clicks. This is a great way to streamline your Social Media Workflow.

A word of warning to those looking for short cuts. Most tools can be used for good or bad, if you are not mixing your Social Bookmarking with other original content, your output will soon become quite bland. Promoting the good work of others is an important component of Social Media Strategy, however demonstrating no original thought reeks of a robot. So think balance and you’ll be fine.

Tribe Building v’s Traditional Management

bnmedia — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:22:21 +0000

There is one school of management (an old one but often the defalut one), which says catch your people doing something wrong then counsel them.

Tribe builders on the other hand, work hard to catch people doing great things then retweet, share and promote any tiny thing that is consistent with what they want to see in your tribe. You build the DNA of your tribe by what you promote.

What are you promoting today? Who are you promoting today? Why not take 2 mins now to find someone who has shared a nugget of content that is consistent with your brand, your purpose, your cause and share that now?
