About Peg Fitzpatrick
Peg Fitzpatrick is the Marketing and Social Media Manager for Kreussler Inc. Peg is the co-author of the best-selling book The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users. Peg loves to travel and enjoys photography. Covering all the major social media platforms, she frequently hears “you’re everywhere!” She’s passionate about social media and inspiring others to be their best.
As you know Peg, I’m a BIG believer in commenting. It’s the classic Win-Win. You share others content (if they have a twitter tab in their commenting system, as you do) and you give them support. You “share” your opinion, too. If I don’t have something good to “share,” I skip commenting. Not that I’m afraid of blow-back but it isn’t necessary. Yes, the occasional overly PC point of view will get a gentle critique from me, but for the most part I try to comment positive or neutral, at worse.
The notion of living SoMe reciprocally has literally made me a better person!
These are words well worth Pondering!
You are the king of commenting Bruce! I am still working to get to your level of zen commenting but I think that I am improving and learning as I go.
You make excellent points about the different types of sharing too. There are so many ways to give and receive in social media. As in life, I think that striving to give more than you receive in any instance is best.
I thoroughly enjoy YOU all the time in the social work Bruce. You are a joy!
I agree with Bruce. I love the comment and love commenting when I get the chance. As to suggestions, the realer you are, the more engaging your tweets and post, and the *answering back* and thanking people is where you build a following. Nice post!
I agree – the more “real” you are the better everything is!
So much of social media is common sense and things we learned in kindergarten but everyday you see those examples of the bully on the playground or people not sharing well with others.
Thanks Heather!! xoxo
And sometimes they’re not bully’s, they just forget their manners, like no one likes to be talked to and not listended to.Those that post post post with no interaction, like look at me, look at me, look at me…. I don’t look at. 🙂 They don’t even thank people. Not very social 🙂
Thanks for mentioning my post on how to use Triberr – I agree with you about finding your own special people to share with, I wouldn’t jump in a tribe with a group of strangers knowing nothing about their work. (I guess this can be done but check the name of the tribe and what they are sharing, its best to be in the same niche.) We might share each others blogs anyway but Triberr makes it simpler and easier.
Great Post btw – thanks again 🙂
I loved your post on Triberr and was happy to share it Michelle! I think that many people get overwhelmed with the amount of tools and programs to learn. Taking a little time to learn something new can be very beneficial and time saving in the long run.
Great getting to know you through Triberr!
