This is an excellent post by Marty. I can identify and thats a great feeling. Only made better by Tamar submitting it here.
Great post Marty. I am learning a lot form you guys.
Martys right on the money again. Thanks to Tamar, too.
You know, the most impressive thing in that article is Martys ability to admit that he just didnt understand a point of criticism, and made the effort to "get it" instead of just plowing along heedless. The best part of social media is that the community is a built-in reality check. Good stuff.
Nice piece Marty. Id love to know if theres generational differences between those who think nothing of asking for sphinns and votes vs those who cant bring themselves to ask and feel an unsolicited peck is more genuine.
@Tamar: Thank you *feelings*@kat: That is so insightful and sweet.@cre8pc: Terrific question...I think there is a difference. Kids are more entitled by far. Thank you for engaging and for being a friend.
Without doubt one of the best articles on the subject Ive read. Top work, fella.
At Martys post I picked up the following: "You can’t own a social community without understanding them". It takes time, but rewarding once you get to know people, who know what they are talking and sharing and have own identity, trust and contibution in the community.
