This is a good one. Gonna stop digging and sphinning our own stuff as much as possible. That brings up the question though; if no one knows who you are, how are they going to know how to find you, even if your content is worthwhile?

Link to them, stumble their content, comment in great detail on their posts

Sphinning your own stuff isn't frowned on, if it is worthwhile, you have taken the time finally to get an avatar to make yourself stand out ;), and you are not sphinning every single post you write in succession.

You don't get traffic from social media without the social

Andy has great points here.  I would add and echo Tamar Weinberg's (Techipedia) post on understanding each community as well, since each one is unique. 

What works or is accepted here on Sphinn will not have the same success on Digg, Reddit etc etc. Take a bit of time just to get used to what people are contributing and doing.  The good thing is that people are generally understanding of those that have good intentions and are trying to be a positive community member.

Don't get frustrated by the time commitment either, because there absolutely is a time commitment to this endeavor.
