Social Marketing Revolution

Google Plus Nation
Thanks to my friends Mark Traphagen (@Marktraphagen) and Phil Buckley (@1918) I am a G+ BELIVER.  Here's why:

* Much more conversational than Twitter.

* Fits nicely between Scoop.it's magazine and Twitter stream.

* The cool features such as Hangouts and communities I don't know how to use yet. 
* It's GOOGLE.

Apparently our area (Raleigh / Durham NC) is one of the largest users of G+ in the country and that is because we have great leaders and guides like Mark, Phil and I would put Jesse Wojdylo in there (and others I've yet to meet).  

I'm so SOLD I am going to use G+ in Cure Cancer Starter instead of creating a Zappos-like Twitter Wall despite how cool that wall is (see it here: http://tweetwall.apps.zappos.com/ ). 

If you are one of those G+ doubters or haters I hope you are one of our competitors because this thing is going to be a HUGE weapon, a game changing social net once we figure how to get our hands half way around it. 

KUDOS to the RDU Google Plus leadership. You guys ROCK. Couple of these guys, a little time and a few bucks and the world gets changed. Too cool.  

Never thought of using Alltop for content curation, but it sure works if you follow the simple tips in this post.

Did you hear a giant, "Whew"? That was me after racing through this list to see if @ScentTrail was featured as one of the 25 Never Dos on SMM for men. I'm not going to admit to how many of these mistakes I've made, but it is more than one (lol).

Here are a couple I would add:

* Never start a Tweet, "My cat did.....".

* "Drunk" and "Twitter" should be mutually exclusive terms.

* Never start a Tweet, "My ex said....".

* Stop with the QUOTES already, enough is enough, what do YOU think about whatever.

* No more, "I'm at lunch eating fish sticks tweets," since that was cool for about...well never.

* Never tweet from a moving car on an iPhone (sure to kill someone).

* If you tweet about alien abduction expect to be abducted by someone.

* NEVER tweet on the toilet, not pretty, not pretty.

* Careful of words like "toilet" as they are negative sentiment words and way too much detail (not pretty, not pretty).

* If you MUST tweet about negative sentiments use French (sounds better and who will really know?).

Now I make next year's Complex.com's list for sure (ouch). What are your additions to the things men must never do on social media. Is there a different list for women? What is that list?
