Thank you much

I have checked Ning out… but from a marketing point of view, it’s not much different than trying to build up a community with a blog. The hardest part of community building online is getting in front of people who “might” be interested in taking part and with Ning, you’re pretty much left to do all the marketing yourself (just as I was when I started RCG). The beauty of FB communities (like the RCG Page I started the other day), is that it lets you tap into a community of people where they already are, so it’s a lot easier to get traction.

yeah… the problem is that the “system” just created a “new” account for you that’s not connected to your original RCG account… I still haven’t figured out how to delete the connection you made between your RCG account and Kim’s FB profile. But at a minimum, I know I’ll have to delete the one you just created (no use have two ardell profiles in the backend of RCG), so I don’t recommend leaving comments when connected to this account.

Just logged in using Facebook. It shows my correct avatar in the sidebar. Seeing if that carries for a comment.

Too funny! Have you checked out Ning? (sorry…kind of off topic).

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

hmm… With Facebook, I get more family and close friends who are most likely to help get me off the island, but with Twitter, there’s some nice mobile apps that would let folks know my exact GPS.

Dustin, let’s say you’re on a desert island, and you can only have one or ther other: twitter or facebook… which would you select and why?

Here again, I think that web 2.0 social media sites are the future. Always updated, always blending “personal” and “business” together, ever changing. For me, I’ll have to agree that I like FB better than what Twitter provides. Twitter is quicker, sure, but I’ve formed better relationships and ‘readers’ on FB.
Thanks for the article.

Dustin, I’m excited to see how the RCG FB page evolves and the new RCG Twitter. I’m surprised about your comment regarding traffic:

“Traffic: at this point traffic from
social media feeds (like twitter’s
stream and Facebook’s newsfeeds) are
generating more traffic than RSS feeds
for almost every website I run.”
