Interesting blog post: "Why I Hate Social Media." The reason is that all media is boring, he says.

by Diane Aull Recently on one of the forums I frequent, we were discussing social bookmarking. One of the administrators pointed out that traffic from social bookmarking sites is generally transient, only sticking around for (at most) a few seconds and rarely converting. Besides, many such sites now routinely “nofollow” outbound links, so they don’t pass along “link juice,” either. Whereupon a poster remarked that it appeared social bookmarking was a complete waste of time. I hear that from some marketers, not just about social bookmarking but about social media in general. I’m not sure I’d be so quick to characterize it as a complete waste of time, though. It’s not so much that social bookmarking and social media doesn’t “work” as it is that some marketers seem to approach it all wrong. Bad approach = bad results Typically, what I hear from those who think social media is useless is: they make a list of the most popular social bookmarking sites, and every time they create a new article or blog post they mass-submit the page to all of them. Then they sit back and complain about the poor quality traffic and how the entire exercise doesn’t seem to bring much long-term benefit to their site. Now, the way I look at it, it’s not so much about the direct traffic you get from the social bookmark site. In my opinion, here’s where the real value lies: social media submissions — if done well — have the potential to bring your pages to the attention of people who might be interested in what you have to say. And those interested people can prove useful. The first commandment: be interesting Perhaps someone will see your page link on that social bookmarking site, be intrigued and visit it, find it informative or entertaining and link to it or write about it (or both) on their site, thereby encouraging their visitors to check you out
