I spend a little more time than 8 min, but I can knock out an entire social media agenda for about 7 different blogs and alter-egos in about 2 -3 hours a day. Here's my flow: 1. Google Reader (star, share w/ note) 2. Posterous.com 3. Hootsuite.com - scheduled tweets back to posterous. 4. Blog post 5. Auto syndicate >> Tumblr, ping.fm, FriendFeed, RSS.... Obviously, the purpose of social networking is to engage and create relationships, but I also try and take advantage of any tech tool that will enhance SEO as well as allow me to leave bread crumbs back to targeted landing pages and blogs. Either way, I'll be at reblogworld and would love to hear more about the Tribus property syndication tools. @Dane – I like “The Cloud” example.

I spend a little more time than 8 min, but I can knock out an entire social media agenda for about 7 different blogs and alter-egos in about 2 -3 hours a day.

Here’s my flow:

1. Google Reader (star, share w/ note)
2. Posterous.com
3. Hootsuite.com – scheduled tweets back to posterous.
4. Blog post
5. Auto syndicate >> Tumblr, ping.fm, FriendFeed, RSS….

Obviously, the purpose of social networking is to engage and create relationships, but I also try and take advantage of any tech tool that will enhance SEO as well as allow me to leave bread crumbs back to targeted landing pages and blogs.

Either way, I’ll be at reblogworld and would love to hear more about the Tribus property syndication tools.

It's really a paradigm-shift, this notion that we can pop our head into The Cloud for a few moments -- anytime we feel like it, and throughout the day (and night, for that matter) -- look around, and say hello. Web 1.0 reminded me of classic Star Trek ("Computer, what are the atmospheric conditions on that planet?") and Web 2.0 reminds me the classic television show, Bewitched ("Oh, hi, Uncle Arthur -- nice of you to pop-in!") Like anything else that's new, it's changing an old habit, or old way of thinking, that is most difficult. It helps to approach social media activities with a sense of play and wonder. If you come at with the heavy-energy of drudgery, it's not going to work." Good stuff, Eric.
