Do You Have To Touch Every Conversation
November 24, 2008

There’s a recurring thread in the social media circles that goes something like this: “Seth Godin doesn’t use Twitter. He doesn’t get it.” And “Seth Godin doesn’t allow comments. He’s not in the conversation.” Okay, first, Seth explained why he doesn’t have comments 2.5 years ago. He’s probably explained why he doesn’t use Twitter, and he told me why at the Inbound Marketing Summit a few months ago.
I get asked these things sometimes, too. One reason is that I don’t like Plurk. I also don’t like Pownce, Jaiku, and several other platforms that people all like and think are perfectly serviceable. I hang out a bit on FriendFeed, but not as much as the allstars. I don’t hang out on SocialMedian, but that’s not too bad a service either.
I belong to several Facebook groups where I don’t really comment that often. I belong to a handful of Ning groups, too. Some Yahoogroups, some Google Groups.
Getting a feeling yet?
