Planing Your Personal Social Media Publishing

Lately, I have been talking to quite a few folks about how to setup your own personal publishing system.  There is no shortage of platforms for an individual to publish content on the web.  There is also no shortage of tools which can distribute your posts to other sites.  Without planning, the whole system becomes and echo chamber and your message gets bounced from one service to another.  Some services will get the same post multiple times, which leaves the message that you either don't know how to manage you publishing or don't care about wasting each constituent's time.   

The answer is to do a quick inventory of the sites you wish to use to post on, and map out the distribution strategy. 

Here is what I came up with:

Facebook - Primary for personal interaction,  I try to only use Facebook for connecting with people that I know.  I keep the flow of business/technical items to a minimum.   Links in Facebook feed to Friendfeed. 

Twitter - Quick thoughts and links to interesting sites, feeds to Facebook and FriendFeed. 

Delicious , Digg, StumbleUpon - Quick bookmarks feeds to friendfeed

Posterous - Main blogging platform, where I post more in depth content feeds friendfeed. 

I have accounts a most social tool sites, I don't use them often, but it does help reinforce my personal brand, and all link to my personal site ProjectMechanics.com

Is Twitter Finding Its Perch?

Twitter is one of those ‘hard to get your head around’ concepts.  On the one hand it seems like a brilliant way of getting your message out to millions of people.  On the other, you ask yourself whether anyone is listening and whether it is worth the effort of getting involved.  Personally, I still have yet to figure it out completely, but at present I have over 1,000 followers and I try to send out interesting information, in the hope that I am adding value to the conversations.

That said, there is emerging evidence that Twitter has the potential to change the game.  One of the best examples is cited by Steven Johnson in his article in Time magazine.
