How To Shout On Social Media Sites Without Screaming

searchengineland.com — No feature that I can recall in recent memory has polarized the social news sphere more than the ability to mass-alert stories to other users for immediate votes. StumbleUpon has the "send to" feature, Propeller has "site-mail" and Digg has "shouts." As with any tool you give to people, half your job is to educate them on how to use the feature.

Who dugg this?

  • tringtring, on 02/13/2008, -0/+6This a real good article...must admit I had not given too much though to shouting so far, but the article has thrown useful light on an important element - usually ignored - of social media...

    I completely agree - shouting should not be indiscriminatory and random, but should be personalised and well-thought-out, unless of course you wish to be taken for a "social boor"

    No. If that's half your job, there's something wrong with the feature itself.
