The fact that that most social media sites are moving towards lists features, such as Google+ circles, Facebooks list and Twitter lists, should remind all publishers of the importance of providing interesting content everytime you post.

It’s now so easy to just ignore someone, and lets be honest it’s actually quite necessary to do what with all the spammers on most of the networks. But what if, in a day of prolific tweeting, you end up annoying a follower who then moves you off the list? Then you are gone for good (at least in their world).

I think most people will give someone the benefit of the doubt for a while, so you only have that “trial period” to get on their radar and win trust.

My organizational tip?

I stopped actively using Twitter and Facebook altogether and aim to bring all the traffic back to my blog where I can interact with them much more successfully.

Right or wrong, this is the way I stay sane.

I have my reader organized too, maybe not the best folder structure, but it at least helps me to determine which blogs I need to visit first when I’m behind. For me, the first blogs I visit are the ones where people have stopped by my blog to comment. I figure if they’ve taken the time to leave a comment it’s only right to put their blogs on the top of my to-visit list.

I think my biggest problem was having many friends on Facebook that I didn’t control the feed. then I try to filter the feed to only my really close friends that share the activity together.

Hello Krisit,
Thanks for the tips. I stopped using twitter about 8 months ago because I felt that it was just wasting my time and it seemed like it was just a bunch of people trying to get everyone to buy their stuff. However, I just downloaded tweet deck after reading your article and I think I may start using it again now that I know how to block out all of the noise. I was pretty excited to see that I could access linked in and facebook right from the deck as well. Thanks for the information, time to plug back in to the social scene

Kristi

thanks for the article. I have installed the TwitterDeck, as it is a bit confusing and time confusing to log into different accounts on a few platforms. I wanted to have them in one place.
I remember Siimon Reynolds ( from The fortune Institute) saying that he wanted to spend 5 minutes a day on social media.

from my side- I started by clearing my google accounts- unsubscribing from all sorts of lists. quite many people talk about the same stuff but just different words are used, no need to read them. It saved a lot of time!

best, Martyna

I agree with this! Though at first, when you’re trying to manage all your followers and friends on Twitter and FB respectively, or putting labels on your GMail, it would really consume much time and would probably bore you. But it the benefit is truly satisfying!

These are great organization tips, and I heavily use Twitter lists (big fan of your AZ Bloggers list on Twitter). I like ReFollow as my favorite tool for organizing who I am following and who is following me to cleanup/follow people who follow me.

I am a new reader of Kikolani.com but I feel that my 2 years learning about blogging is still far from knowing and I read a lot of new things for me, indeed, useful for my own improvement.
Overwhelmed, yes, that’s what I always feel in the last 2 years, I feel STRESSED. I’ve done one of your point here though. That is, Labeling email in my Gmail. The others are new for me.Thank you Kristi, it’s absolutely useful to get me more organized.

For me the most annoying thing on Facebook was the updates from Facebook pages. I had become fan of alot of pages and I wasnt aware of the hell that happened to me later on. I was unable to find the updates i wanted to know of my friends. Then I had to Unlike those annoying pages.
