Quite the contrary. I’m sorry if my coyness is hard to decipher, but when I have something to say that’s that plain, I usually just say it.

It takes me a lot more words than most people, LOL, but it’s still unmistakeable.

What I’m saying is… well, what I wrote – social media is only a waste of time if YOU are a time waster. I think people who think otherwise haven’t taken the time to both use and understand the tools.

If social media was crap, it wouldn’t matter what their mindset was, it wouldn’t work for anyone. It works for people who’ve learned how to work it.

Period.

So no, I don’t think it’s in the mindset of the people using it, not at all. If someone submits one of your better articles, at the right time, during a good part of the day, you’ll get traffic, even if your mindset is that Stumble Upon sucks. This is one of those situations where what we think is independent of the truth of the matter.

Angela,

Exactly. That or they think that the fewer people who understand social media, the more traffic there is for them. Which is an error in logic, but that’s another article.

Heather,

I’m still playing catch up. If it’s not too late, I’ll play along sometime this week.

Leo,

Thanks and welcome. There’s a limit, I think, to how much you should share and build, in every relationship though. It varies for each person, but as soon as it starts to interfere with the rest of your work or becomes a situation where you do all the giving and get nothing back *perpetually*, it’s time to rethink strategy.
