The first step in reputation management is preemptive: Think twice before putting your personal information online.

The most trending topic on twitter right now as I am writing this post is #fixreplies. It is shocking to me that after weeks of proclaiming that twitter is all about social discovery, we see the biggest Bonehead Decision that twitter could have made. There are posts from around the industry talking about Twitter putting a Muzzle on your friends. Originally, by default, twitter would not show you the @replies sent to other users until you went in

Its been almost 1 year since the twitter name ShoeMoney was turned over to me and I started using it. Its now the 2nd biggest source of referral traffic to my blog. I know what most of you are thinking…. “Well if I had 30k followers I could get traffic too” You would probably be surprised to learn that less then 5% of the twitter traffic came from my tweets.

Social media websites try to combine two things: people and content. When these two things work in harmony a website becomes a buzzing, viral experience, where users do the hard work and feel a bond to the brand / platform. Here I outline the various elements that add functionality for users, to increase participation (the key to success).
