There is a movement afoot in American Little League Baseball. No more keeping score. Playing for fun in an atmosphere where everyone is declared 'winner."
It is a concept I have decided to take on in regards to my business articles and Social Media. Read my posts to enjoy them, but please, no more votes!
I'm looking forward to participating in a non-competitive environment!

We're voting anyway. Next time we won't. It was quite obvious to many that you had developed 'leprosy'. This article should be read so I hope it goes to the front page.

I can understand where you are coming from. People will vote for different reasons and I guess it is up to everyone to decide why and when they will vote, interact or comment. For some it is to show appreciation of the article for others it is to help themselves and friends for example.
People are quite savvy and know when the system is being swayed.

Couldn't have said any of this better myself. I think sometimes people vote for the BizSugar posts for similar reasons. The social aspects of social media are so important, but just as in anything else, it shouldn't turn into an obligation. Yes, CIK and Entrepreneurosaurus, there are winners and losers in real life. But relationships are not about winning and losing. The proper give and take makes you the winner every time.

OK. Don't know how I feel about the Little League thing. Fact is, there are times you win and loose in life and learning how to do both is probably an important life lesson. In social media, I agree with you though. From my own limited experience, the give and take is much more important. This doesn't really mean you shouldn't vote for people, like on Digg, Reddit or whatever, or "like" other people's stuff if you're into that whole Facebook thang. I think it just means you shouldn't look at it as a competition. I mean, sure you're trying to market yourself. I'll be happy if people vote for my stories when I get around to posting one here but I don't want 'em to feel like they have to. Vote for 'em if they're good. Don't vote 'em if they're not. I'll do the same. Same with RTs or whatever. If something goes viral or gets to the top of a list great, but I won't hold anything against anyone either way. Anyway, great reading your stuff, man, and I'll see you around. Cheers.
