Within your online community it’s important to play nice. It’s a two way street. You can’t expect others to share or promote your work if you are never repaying the favor or at the very least saying “thank you” and keeping in touch.

Hi Laura,
I’m new to the LI group — just joined a few minutes ago — but based on this refreshing article I think I’ll be enjoying my time here. :)

In reply to Dean Cruddace.

Hi Dean! Yeah, I’m pretty sure you’re right that this call-out is in vain, and that foam hand on the other side of the stadium will silence it in the long run, but hey – thought it worth planting the proverbial seed. Appreciate you going beyond the 1-click mechanical tweet and offering your thoughts, however awfully cynical-yet-true :)

In reply to karen marchetti.

Karen, thank you for sharing your insights into this slippery subject! As a well-beyond-40 person, I too find it hard to believe what people fling out there, as if “no one is watching” or knowing that yes, that nasty-gram came from you! Especially on LinkedIn – is that not the bastion of respectful, mature, and polite exchange? You can blame it on being ignorant or pre-internet old, but still…c’mon! There’s also an old saying for those who have no grace, online or off: “If you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say it at all.” :)

In reply to Lewis LaLanne. Lewis, thank you for your well-considered and truly hilarious examples of "real imminent pain lurking in the wait" :) Brilliant stuff! I especially like the one to do with toilet paper stained with chocolate hanging out of your pants while you're getting down on the dance floor...Brutally honest, and so very true to the core! Thank you for making my work here worthwhile!

I may have missed the switch that turned SM over to self promotion, I have personally never “self promoted” in nearly 10K tweets.

I understand the mechanism and the power of it, but, that ‘communal’ feel is becoming lost in noise. Maybe I am guilty of following too many interested in where their next retweet is coming from. I also like to think I run a tight follow to my interests for my niche.

I would like to think my engagement of a tweet goes beyond the 1 click mechanical retweet. Hence my comment here and reshare on Emerald Sea ;).

Calling/hoping for Internet étiquette is a huge shout across a fan packed arena, those around you will hear, but that large fella on the opposite side of the stadium willnot hear you and continue to wave his foam hand.

I understand, really I do, But the lazy arse mentality has already kicked in.
