I like your little todo’s. Bullets are always nice to remember.
Just out of curiosity, which do you use, tweetdeck or seesmic?

I’ve done a bit of Facebook, but apart from my near acquaintances am not sure that there is a lot of interest in what I’ve got to say. Maybe, I’m just saying the wrong things.
Facebook seems to me a novice to be used by many in the same way that Twitter would be although with complete sentences. I’ve read a bit about Twitter, but not sure how to really make the medium work. I can’t follow half the conversations that are going on and the other half appear to be absolute tripe anyway. So whilst I’d like to listen before talking, I can’t seem to understand what is being said? Is that just me?
Note to self… must try harder.

Excellent list, Ian. At first glance it may seem a bit overwhelming, however, point 8 really helps. Scheduling a routine makes it much easier to stay on top of these and if you stick with your routine it will help you develop better content as well.

@Meredith
Yeah, the newest interface of facebook home really looks ugly.
Some status gos to News feed while the others goes to live feed. They’re mixed and confusing.

@Meredith I think Facebook is going to have to take that change back. Just my guess.

Curious to see what you have to say re: Facebook now that they’ve changed their homepage format to hide most status updates (including those from pages). They say they’ll only show an item in newsfeed if it gets a lot of comments, which is going to be tough to get if no one sees the item. A real chicken and egg problem. Think FB will continue to be even worth investing in? Think most users are on news or live feed? Personally I use live because I want to see what ALL of my friends say, not just what FB thinks I want to read. That said, many users don’t even realize FB has done this to their feed so they’re missing items they want to see and don’t even realize it.

I don’t think you can emphasize number 9 enough.
