Comment on When is it ok to ignore a comment, tweet, etc? by monika

I really don’t think it’s okay. Just like if we were talking face to face… I would answer or acknowledge in some way what you said. Maybe it’s just me but that’s how I feel.

Kevin,

Honesty is always the best policy and your quick and transparent apology is refreshing. Kudos to another job well done. We (all) aren’t perfect and simply acknowledging that a mistake was made, accepting responsibility, and putting measures in place to make sure it doesn’t happen again was a wonderful response.

Comment on Twitter convenience vs. security – a cautionary tale by AG

Why not use identi.ca ? There are fewer problems on identi.ca. Additionally, the Laconica microblogging server is _totally_ open.

Comment on Tip: At events, find people more shy than you by Maria Simos

Great advice and very true. I usually find myself going towards the wall and corners and talking to the people that seem like they want to talk but aren’t quite ready to jump around and say hi to everyone. Just tweeted this too, hopefully it helps others.

Comment on Tips for getting your social media job application process off to a good start. by Kevin Micalizzi

Thom-

Yes, these tips are a pretty low bar, but you’d be amazed how many people don’t do them. For me, the biggest factor in whether to look further or not is how much experience the applicant has with social media. Personally, I’m looking for breadth and depth. I have one candidate fresh out of college who blogs, tweets, and has several successful Facebook groups (and included stats on them, not just current, but growth over time.)

One of the challenges with this many people applying for the same job, the hiring manager has more flexibility to pursue people with strong experience who can articulate what they’ve done and most importantly, the impact of what they’ve done.

Thanks!

Amazing that these tips have to be mentioned at all in such a tough economy. I’d be interested in knowing what separates one from the crowd if once they’ve met this fairly low standard.

Thanks,

Kevin,

Thank you SO much for taking the time to interview me.

I love the concept of this blog and what you plan on doing with it. I meant what I said in the interview – it’s really all about the quality of connections you’re making.

I feel lucky because social media has put me in touch with some wonderful people – you included. It’s been great getting to know you better online/offline and I look forward to more fun tweetups/meetups/social adventures together in the future.

Can’t wait to read more of your upcoming interviews. Also, best of luck on Monday in your new role at DimDim!

-Alexa
