“When you’re in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, ‘Damn, that was fun‘.” — Groucho Marx
The biggest mistake that people make in social media is the one where they believe that if they put a few words on a page people will flock to their blog and laud them as the second coming of Chris Brogan or the next Guy Kawasaki.
I don’t know about you but I am not interested in being either of those guys. It is not because I dislike them or have any sort of disdain for what they do but because I like being me. I like being me for a lot of reasons not the least of which is that I don’t have to try to be me because I just am.
And that my friends is what I look for in social media, the “just ams.” I like the “what you see is what you get crowd” best. I like them because they let me focus on the most important part of the social media scene, the people.
People are what keep me in this game. Sure, I like to write and I would do it even if no one read a single post. But that doesn’t mean that…

Well said and I so agree! I've always felt that it was hard to put my blog in a genre . . . sort of a writer's blog, sort of a mom blog. Gets consistent traffic but nothing through the roof. I'm happy with it the way it is though! It's best to try and be just ourselves.
