Twas the Night Before Social Media….
Twas the night before social media, when all through the Web
Not a Facebooker was statusing, no new updates in sight.
The tweets all tweeted on the Twitter with care,
In hopes that St. Click soon would be there.
The 24/7 social media gurus nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of new DIGGs danced through their heads.
And Mamma-Web in her Bing-chief and I, computer in lap.
Had just settled down for a long tweet free nightcap.
When out on the Web there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my Lazy Boy, to see what was the Web-chatter.
So close to the screen, I stuck like a flash.
Logged into my blog account and posted a blog post fast..
With a little old blog post, so lively and quick.
I knew in a moment it was definitely St. Click.
More rapid than BING, his Google-bots came,
And he whistled, and shouted and called them by name.
Now HubSpot, Now Mashable, Now Kayser, Now Guy!
On BING, on DIGG, on Alltop and FiledBy, oh my!
To the top of the search! To the top of the LinkedIn!
Now blog away! Blog away! Blog away all!

1. Build your personalized Google profile today so you are visible in search.
2. Add Twitter to your LinkedIn.com account – you can do this now and it will help folks see your “mindshare” on LinkedIn.com too.
3. Be committed to sharing your actionable insight on your blog and then go DIGG it as well.
4. Claim a Twitter account if you’ve not yet done so. Twitter is not going away and it will continue to be refined for better usage and accessiblity.
5. Add your URL to Google. I recommend people submit them at least twice a year just to make sure that Google-bot is stopping by your site.
6. Believe in the impossible. Stop thinking that you don’t count on the Web, that you’re not tech-savvy enough to figure all this Web 2.0 stuff out! Use resources like Mashable.com and DailyBlogTips.com to get you on your way.
7. Be yourself on all your platforms and truly be committed to being open and authentic in your content delivery. Don’t think of the bottom line, think of empowering a community.
