If you are going to use social media, you need to approach it like you would a cocktail party with both current acquaintances and potential new friends. You don’t want to be self-centered and boring. You want to be curious about the people in the room and be a good conversationalist. Of course, you will share information, but it should be interesting stories and helpful content. Occasionally, you will make a pitch or ask to do business, but only after a healthy relationship has been established.

Blogging is definitely quite “accident prone” if you take it to include the glitches prevalent in WordPress and other blogging platforms. Some “accidents” can be of one’s own making. I remember writing what I felt was one of my best efforts. For some reason I did not post it immediately. Imagine my chagrin when I accidentally deleted the draft. This was after an interval of several weeks so I couldn’t remember all of it and I mourn it to this day.Finally, I completely agree with Andrew Sullivan that blogging is “writing out loud” since my style of writing has always been informal and conversational.
