    Chris Brogan: An Insider’s Guide to Social Media Etiquette →

    “I receive a lot of questions about various points of etiquette with regards to social media. I also observe instances where I wish people knew some of the more common etiquette, because they seem like wonderful people, who maybe have made a mistake because they didn’t know better. To that end, I thought I’d give a brief set of ideas around social media etiquette. You’re very welcome to add to these in the comments. There will be a mix of do’s and don’ts, and remember this above all else: you’re doing it wrong.”

    Setting up this new Tumblr blog at the same time I’m working behind the scenes updating my personal blog  (douglasjohnston.net) and seeing what needs to be done with DIYPlanner. Created new subdomain off douglasjohnston.net for Tumblr. Created new feeds using FeedBurner for both blog and Tumblr. Connected one or the other or both to Twitter. Connected one or the other or both to Twitter. Set up Google Analytics to tie into the mix, which seems to be connected under Google to Feedburner. del.icio.us feeds integrated into both, I think, now. Flickr and YouTube were somewhere in all those settings, as was Amazon.

    So does this mean that if I post something, it’ll appear everywhere, and then circle back to appear in the original place, and then over and over, in a vicious cycle?

    I feel vaguely like a novice plumber who has somehow connected the toilet to the shower and is now afraid to flush.
