Lately, that has put me behind and I'm not getting much accomplished - what is it they say about using SM or doing SM? I feel like I'm all SM all the time, and I need to strike a balance. The Like button on Facebook has become my friend. I also try to share as much of my friends work as I can on Twitter. I'm still catching up on my comments. My one goals is to not be a broadcaster. If I see myself with a page of updates with little interaction, I will pull back and try to Listen more and talk less. Chris Brogan put up a five word blog post when he took down his Facebook fan page that I think says it best. "Because it's not about me." That's sort of my mantra for lack of a better word.

Jay - you are already part of a clique. I am betting that you have close contacts and friends offline that are also creating content in online media. Start there by reaching out to those people and helping them spread their content. Another great way to build deeper relationships across the social web is to disclose deeper information about yourself and your brand. Give of yourself and you will also receive... :) Thanks for the comments Jacob, Jay and Opi!

I try to adhere to these steps the only problem is I don't feel as though I am actually part of any online cliques yet. There are people I follow and admire and for various reasons (yourself, Jon Myers, David Hunegnaw & Leigh Householder to name a few) but I haven't yet been introduced to enough people offline to feel that I am part of something online. I guess a good term to define me would be a "fringe cliquee" someone who shares interests / experiences with people online but is still in the transitional act of taking those relationships offline and growing them. Does that make sense? Good read Nate. I try to adhere to these steps the only problem is I don’t feel as though I am actually part of any online cliques yet.

Great tips! I especially agree with the interactive stuff from commenting on blog posts (like i'm doing here), to Re-Tweeting people's stuff, to being a cheerleader and connecting others.
