Or, just make stuff up, like I do!

Take two ideas (1 part fact, 1 part fiction), whisk briskly.

Mix in Secret Sauce, kneed and then roll out into long threads.

Feed into “What if?” Engine and move into high gear.

Simple! 😉

It seems like a social media user will have to start with an active approach before they build sufficient reputation and credibility to start to utilize passive approaches.

Although it seems a bit ridiculous, I think any power social media user ultimately needs to use some form of CRM (customer relationship management) or contact management tool to keep their friends straight, especially when those friends have profiles on different networks and they don’t use a consistent profile name. But there’s potential there…

The only other thing that I could add is that one way to increase your friend count is to increase the networks that you belong to. Over time, you tend to find out that other people frequent multiple networks, so you can grow your contacts significantly by friending their profiles or presences across those networks.

Good one, Jeff!

It will all merge eventually I imagine
