Are you using Social Networks to communicate or broadcast?
And what is the difference?

To communicate socially, yes. To promote, no. Simply put!

I’m a big fan of Google’s social tools these days. Makes it smoking easy to both communicate and broadcast.
To me communicating is 1-on-1 via email, chat and now Buzz.
I view broadcasting as sharing resources. I share and syndicate my Reader/Buzz items with the public.
99% of the stuff I share is OPC and “occasionally” I’ll share something personal.
I do this for 2 reasons -
- “link love” for the author’s content. The Reader strips nofollow.
- Building content interest/authority
I think the new human equation that Google has implemented into the algorithm, treating followers as links, is giving us a glimpse of how web authority will viewed/attained in the future.
I’m looking forward to the ride!

Honestly, who would be so idiotic as to put a space between the last word of a sentence and an exclamation point?
The quality of education must be sub-standard in Belfast.

Really? Not sure what prompted that. I was always under the impression I was a quart low.
I follow a Buzz conversation a million times easier than a simple tweet that gets lost in the noise.

You don’t think a follow algorithm (Friend rank) is in play?

Greg, I suspect that ‘fan’ was aiming that particularly snidy comment at Glen. I also suspect that he feels rather silly after forgetting to surf through a proxy. Cheers, Ry.
