On How to Use LinkedIn Powerfully: 10 Tips to Know

Stephen, 

You're absolutely right--giving, and not just asking for, recommendations is key. I'd love to see a post about navigating the waters of when (and when not) to ask for recommendations. Up for the job? (:

On How to Be a Frighteningly Brilliant Content Marketer

Don--

Exactly what I'm thinking. Works for B2B, too: capturing people when you've helped them save 10 hours, or doubled their lead volume. Might not be easy snapshots, but that gut reaction still happens--it's a matter of finding the right way to capture and share. 

Thanks for coming by and pitching in,

Daniel, 

Glad to help! 

Generally, changing a word to a number or putting an ellipses between words gives me no pause when I'm retweeting someone. If I find that I need to make significant changes, though, I'll just restructure the tweet and give them a "via" credit rather than retweeting. 

Thanks for reading,

Great points! Thanks for adding to the list, and I suppose I do owe you.

On 17 Tips To Shorten Tweets

Trevor--yup, you got it with the w/. 

And yes, I over shortened these for the point of demonstration. I wanted to use real tweets I'd seen or was responsible for editing, which made finding ones that really needed to be shortened difficult. Many of these tweets would be just fine, or preferable, to be sent without the extra shortening, but in those situations where you need just a few characters less, the tactics apply. 

Thanks for reading and the comment, as always!

On How To: Be a Great Blogger When You're Not a Great Writer

There's a careful balance between perfection and shipping. I completely agree that writing riddled with mistakes will not look good. However, the blogosphere is a fast acting world, and you don't always have the luxury to wait a few days before publishing and promoting. It's one of the reasons why I like to have a schedule and a backlog for blogging, but that doesn't always work out.
